This charming home was the perfect location for our annual "sibling reunion," a group of eight 60+-year-old adults. Every year, we gather at State College for an overnight stay—a time to get caught up and to reminisce. The property is exactly as described. The spacious kitchen and dining room provided an excellent alternative to dining in a restaurant. Our hostess was responsive to our questions and requests. Lots of space and linens. Check-in and check-out were quick and easy. Highly recommended.

The home is magnificent! We loved all the details and the rooms were spacious. The house is close to Penn State so it was perfect for our family to celebrate our sons graduation. The kitchen is cute and had everything we needed to cook some meals. One funny thing that happened...my husband told me he was hearing voices in the night. He was not crazy there is someone who must reside in the lower level. I am a heavy sleeper so I did not hear anyone until the morning. It makes for a funny story. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would come back to see a football game!

This was a very unique and interesting place to stay. The location was very convenient if you are going to Penn State - only a few miles from campus. The owners were also very responsive when I messaged them. Overall we enjoyed our stay here.

Everything was fine but it's four bedrooms, not five. When I called the property manager about that she said there was an air mattress available. That would have been fine if the listing said five beds but it clearly said five bedrooms.

Unfortunately we were unable to actually stay as planned at this location, and were not within the cancelation window. Sherry was very understanding and helped with steps to take.

This was the perfect house and location for a family gathering over Easter weekend. My daughter and her fiance live in State College which is only a 15 minute drive away and the house had plenty of room for the 11 of us to hang out together in the large open plan living area, and for the 9 of us to sleep. There is also plenty of parking for family coming from various places in their own cars. The kitchen was very well equipped, the beds very comfortable and there was plenty of seating both inside and out. We would definitely stay here again -- plus you cannot beat the price in the State College area.

The place was great, very authentic and "historical", the layout was perfect for us. It was a very easy in & out of state college to see my Daughter and a few sporting events. Overall, a great weekend! Thanks again for letting us stay in "the Church".

I mostly picked this home because of location-close to my mom’s memory care home & brother in Boalsburg. Location was perfect, but this home is so beautiful and unique. It had a special feel (like you were on vacation), not just a regular home. We actually reheated an entire Thanksgiving dinner. Kitchen was very well equipped. We watched the World Cup & a movie. The check in /check out procedures were so easy. Not too much on the way out-leave beds unmade & take out trash.
Our big dog was allowed to stay. He is a very good pup, easy and well trained, but a lot of properties only allow small dogs. Plenty of room for his bed.
I/we will definitely stay here again!! Thanks for opening up this home to visitors!!

It was a great way to fully relax with our family during our visit to State Colkege. It was convenient to Rec Hall for attending athletic events. We loved the layout and was very clean. Would stay again if we have the opportunity.

Our newest granddaughter was born in State College and our family came from SC, NC, and MI to see the newest member of our family. It was a short stay but the Church house was accommodating for our whole family.

Wedding weekend
We had family and friends at this lovely home for our sons wedding weekend. Everything was perfect. A great place to relax, refresh, and fellowship with family and friends! Our hosts made sure we had everything we would possibly need. They also graciously let us adjust our check in/out times to support an elderly family member traveling a distance. My husband and I have talked about having friends join us here for a PSU game weekend. We are!

We really enjoyed our stay! The renovated church was so cool and unique. The small town was refreshing, yet close enough to State College to spend the day checking out the campus. We would recommend this property to others.

This was such a unique property. From start to finish the owner made everything easy. The place was very clean and decorated in a very cool fashion. I have to say it was one of the most comfortable beds I ever slept on. We were only there for a night but if ever in State College again we would rent this property again for sure!
