The house had everything we needed for a low key weekend away - plenty of space with three bedrooms and the common area with coffee, wifi and a kitchen to cook a few meals. The area was quiet and peaceful and we were a short drive to anything else we needed including a brewery and distillery decorated for the holidays. Thanks!

We loved our stay at Lakewoods Cottage. The cottage was beautifully decorated and had so many cute touches. We loved the fresh cookies upon arrival and the coffee that was available. The house was clean and had everything we needed. Bonita was easy to communicate with and was a great host. We will definitely be back in the future!

Our goal was to get away and relax. This was a good place to get back to nature, but still close enough to local towns to pick-up those things you wish you had brought along, for me it was embroidery thread. Don’t worry, everything you need is available: toothbrush, towels, cleaning supplies, and blankets. It’s adorable. We cooked on property one evening and ate at the local pizzeria, Brothers, every other night. Each morning we slept late and only planned one activity per day: fishing, visited Penn’s Cave, the Little League Museum, and shopped in Williamsport. I would go back to Howard and I might check out another rental just to see the decorating. Btw, we respected house rules for no alcohol, assumed we’d be able to wash clothes, but you won’t have a washer/dryer, and had easy communications with the host. We believe it was money well spent.

My husband and I stayed at this beautiful home this past weekend. We were attending a wedding at the Nature's Inn and this home was the perfect place for us to stay! It is such a cozy home with everything you need! We loved sitting out front in the morning drinking our coffee. Everyone who walked by was super friendly! I highly recommend staying here! Be sure to check out Brother's Pizza (DELICIOUS)!

What a delight to show up at this quaint little cottage and find that it was as good or even better than pictured! Perfect for our small family to stay during a three day Penn State Graduation weekend; only about 30 minutes away from campus. Very clean and well-appointed. We used the grill outside for a lovely dinner. Owner communication was excellent, and they went above and beyond to help us retrieve an item left behind after we had checked out. Highly recommend this gem!

I planned on spending my birthday in happy valley and searched all over for a place, then I found Lakewood cottage. I talked it over with the other couple that came with and it was an easy yes for the 4 of us. The place wasn’t far from the stadium and easy to get to. It was clean and tidy and overall an amazing stay for the weekend. We would definitely stay here again.

This was the perfect place for us to stay for the weekend. We were visiting family in the area and we were glad to have a nice place to stay that was clean and well furnished. It's located at the end of the street so it was quiet, which I appreciated for my 5 month old. Bonita was easy to communicate with during our stay. I would stay here again the next time I'm in the area visiting family.

We stayed here for a short weekend while visiting Penn State and exploring Bald Eagle State Park. The cottage was really cute, and it was nice and quiet and very clean! I did not know that there was a separate rental suite upstairs when I booked the property, but we didn't hear any noise so that was good. It had lots of wonderful conveniences and many touches that made it easy to settle in and made it feel special. We even got to meet Bonita at the store and appreciated the recommendations she provided about places to visit in the area. The book she made for cottage guests had all the information we needed and was very helpful. I will definitely stay here again in the future!

What a gem near Bald Eagle State Park! Such a nice quant place, with a fantastic host. The outdoor store located near the booking is a great place to get your fishing needs before visiting the park!

Everything was clean, tidy and decorated nicely. Quiet neighborhood close to boat rental, fishing spots and beach in Bald Eagle State Park. Short drive to Penn State. We stayed to attend the Little League World Series in Williamsport and that was an easy drive too.

This property was as perfect as depicted. It is a peaceful, quiet location at the end of the street. The owners have thought of everything you could need or might have forgotten, and the property was immaculate! They are quick to respond to messages. We were visiting the area for Penn State Homecoming weekend and it was a quick 30 minutes to campus. Thank you so much!!!

The cottage was exactly as advertised - so cute , quaint, quiet and amenities were plentiful. Great communication with owner. Location to Penn State was about 1/2 hr away - perfect for game day Not sure we will be coming back to Pennsylvania - But if we did we wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else

The house had everything we needed for a low key weekend away - plenty of space with three bedrooms and the common area with coffee, wifi and a kitchen to cook a few meals. The area was quiet and peaceful and we were a short drive to anything else we needed including a brewery and distillery decorated for the holidays. Thanks!

We loved our stay at Lakewoods Cottage. The cottage was beautifully decorated and had so many cute touches. We loved the fresh cookies upon arrival and the coffee that was available. The house was clean and had everything we needed. Bonita was easy to communicate with and was a great host. We will definitely be back in the future!

We stayed here for a short weekend while visiting Penn State and exploring Bald Eagle State Park. The cottage was really cute, and it was nice and quiet and very clean! I did not know that there was a separate rental suite upstairs when I booked the property, but we didn't hear any noise so that was good. It had lots of wonderful conveniences and many touches that made it easy to settle in and made it feel special. We even got to meet Bonita at the store and appreciated the recommendations she provided about places to visit in the area. The book she made for cottage guests had all the information we needed and was very helpful. I will definitely stay here again in the future!

Our goal was to get away and relax. This was a good place to get back to nature, but still close enough to local towns to pick-up those things you wish you had brought along, for me it was embroidery thread. Don’t worry, everything you need is available: toothbrush, towels, cleaning supplies, and blankets. It’s adorable. We cooked on property one evening and ate at the local pizzeria, Brothers, every other night. Each morning we slept late and only planned one activity per day: fishing, visited Penn’s Cave, the Little League Museum, and shopped in Williamsport. I would go back to Howard and I might check out another rental just to see the decorating. Btw, we respected house rules for no alcohol, assumed we’d be able to wash clothes, but you won’t have a washer/dryer, and had easy communications with the host. We believe it was money well spent.

We enjoyed our stay at Lakewoods Cottage! The house was clean and cozy. We enjoyed the complimentary coffee and donuts. It was a great location to explore the area surrounding State College and only 30 minutes from PSU. We hope to return to Lakewoods Cottage on a future visit.

My husband and I stayed at this beautiful home this past weekend. We were attending a wedding at the Nature's Inn and this home was the perfect place for us to stay! It is such a cozy home with everything you need! We loved sitting out front in the morning drinking our coffee. Everyone who walked by was super friendly! I highly recommend staying here! Be sure to check out Brother's Pizza (DELICIOUS)!

What a delight to show up at this quaint little cottage and find that it was as good or even better than pictured! Perfect for our small family to stay during a three day Penn State Graduation weekend; only about 30 minutes away from campus. Very clean and well-appointed. We used the grill outside for a lovely dinner. Owner communication was excellent, and they went above and beyond to help us retrieve an item left behind after we had checked out. Highly recommend this gem!
