Kid-friendly holiday rentals in State College

Melissa was the perfect host. My daughter and I came down for family weekend and we really enjoyed staying at her home.

Lovely, unique place. We were a group of 6-8 and we had no issues with space. The place had all the amenities you would want. Superb spot, would stay again.

Perfect for a family visiting State College. Conveniently located just a short drive to campus and but nestled in a private, residential area. Will be staying here for future trips back to Penn State!

Jesse’s place exceeded my expectations. It was exactly what I needed. Peace and quiet. Beautiful restful views, a walking trail right outside the back door. The swing, the screened in porch, can’t decide which is my favorite. I felt safe and comfortable as a woman alone, the house is quaint and cozy, clean and inviting. I felt “at home” as soon as I walked in. Check-in was easy, tv easy to navigate,Jesse friendly and responsive, restaurants nearby. Definitely recommend this gem. So much so I’m going back in the fall. I went for the view, I wasn’t disappointed. 5 Stars all around.

This is our third time staying at Matthew’s home so clearly we are fans! It has been the perfect stopping off point for us from the highway but if we had more time it would make a wonderful longer term stay because the surroundings are so beautiful and the hosts so warm. They are always so responsive although honestly there isn’t anything we have needed since they thought of it all!

Betty’s place is in a perfect location to visit my son who’s a student at PSU. We were within walking distance to local pubs and starting our day having breakfast on the front porch was awesome. Great neighborhood! We’ll be back!

Absolutely spotless everywhere. Probably the cleanest Airbnb we have encountered thus far. Very quaint and cozy just like Kathy describes it. The snacks were a very nice touch. The kitchen is fully stocked. Highly recommend it, hands down! Thank you Kathy and Jared!

What an incredible place to stay! This is a big old house with lots of wonderful surprises--a kids' nook with great toys, books for kids and adults, a s'mores kit in the larder, interesting art, great outdoor space...everything you could possibly want. There's even a cabinet with a sign that says it has antique serving dishes from the 1800s, and guests should "feel free to use any of these items." I have never felt so strongly, staying in an Airbnb, that the hosts were clearly deeply kind and lovely people. The house obviously means a lot to them, and we felt right at home there.

The apartment was very cute. The host was extremely helpful and very easy to get in touch with. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the area.

Great place, great hosts and gorgeous peaceful area! Would definitely stay there again.

5 Stars – Amazing Stay with Exceptional Hosts! We had an incredible stay at this Penn State super fan household! From the moment we arrived, William & Family went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The home was spotless, comfortable, and full of thoughtful touches that made our stay extra special. Not only are they die-hard Penn State fans (which made for some great conversations!), but their generosity truly stood out. They provided extras like juice, milk, and muffins—such a kind and unexpected touch. On top of that, their dedication to coaching speaks volumes about the wonderful people they are. If you’re looking for a warm, welcoming stay with fantastic hosts, this is the place! We’d absolutely love to visit again.

I would love to stay here again! Everything was comfortable, safe, and accommodating. It’s the perfect place for a weekend up at Penn State and an easy walk to downtown State College.

I was very comfortable and Ruth and husband were very personable. It was located very close to all my friends and family. Perfect for my visit in all ways!!

My friend and I enjoyed our 3 night stay at the Jackson Mountain BnB. Our hosts were very responsive and even provided a propane grill to cook burgers on. The place is very clean and they have a nicely equipped kitchen. We highly recommend this if you're coming to the area.

The home was so cozy and very close to Woodward Skate Camp. Tanya was so kind and responsive and the home was beyond our expectations!! Highly recommend a stay here!!

Perfect for a place to sleep mid road trip! Thank you!

This was my second stay here. Irina is always responsive, and the place was renovated. Plenty of parking and outdoor space. The stream and wildlife was beautiful. Her son Dan is incredibly helpful and kind. We had a nice stay.

This clean and comfortable place was exactly as advertised. It was conveniently located for our weekend plans, minutes from the Allegrippis Trails. We appreciated the small details, like s'mores supplies, USB outlets, labeled drawers, and seasoned firewood with kindling. We would definitely stay here again!

Nice place 15 mins. from State College. Clean and comfy. Would stay again. Good communication.

My daughter and I enjoyed our stay. It was easy to get to the Bryce Jordan center and back each day. The place was very clean and cozy. Irina was very responsive to messages. The creek out back was tranquil

Great hosts and very responsive. Place was clean and so close to everything. Would stay here again.

The place was perfect! The creek behind was filled with trout and the location was close to surrounding fishing spots as well. Never needed to go more than 10min away from the condo. Clean and well maintained by Dan.
