Penn State Retreat - walkable 4 b / 2 b with game room
The home was clean and themed well for Penn State. Kitchen was well stocked. The fenced in back yard was great for the dogs and the back yard game room was a fun place to hang. The location was also just minutes from campus. I would definitely stay again.
