Very old apartment but neatly renovated. The kids got excited the moment they entered the unit. Nice neighbor. The only thing was that sometimes there was no parking available in the back, but I wouldn’t decrease the evaluation just for that. Recommend the place.

Location is perfect close to everything bellefonte has to offer. Overall very nice place to stay just needs little bit of updating. Very large considering it's age just needs a little bit of updating to be perfect.

We are a group of friends that travel to the State College area annually for a football game. We chose this location because it’s fairly close to the stadium (about 15 minutes). Also because it is in a small town as opposed to the places we’ve been staying which are more remote. The apartment is in an old building as described but the unit itself has been entirely renovated. There was plenty of room for 6 of us to stay comfortably. It was very clean, the kitchen was fully equipped, though we mainly ate at restaurants. Decorations were quite remarkable - I typically don’t really notice or even care personally, but I really enjoyed seeing all the items, especially all the games and other memorabilia from my youth! I would definitely return in the future!

I loved the 3rd floor flat; it was truly a home away from home. It was very clean and quiet with comfy beds; plus convenient access to Bellefonte restaurants and interesting little shops. The apartment was full of games and fun items which would be delightful for families with children and/or teens. I could not think of a better place to occupy kids plus it is a block from a beautiful park.

As Gen Xers, we loved the 80s retro vibe of this apartment! We spent a lot of time wandering through each room, reminiscing about our childhood and the games we used to play. Of course we spent the better part of the evening playing the Nintendo! The beds in the bigger bedroom had some of the most comfortable mattresses we've ever slept on! The property manager is incredibly responsive and the property is close enough to Penn State without paying exorbitant prices. Overall, a wonderful stay!

Bob's awesome retro apartment was the perfect spot for our quick getaway to Happy Valley. All of us (ages 8 through 70) loved the multitude of games, cool decorations, and extremely comfortable beds. The apartment was well stocked with everything we needed and the responsiveness of the host was fantastic. We really enjoyed the location as it gave us the opportunity to walk just down the street to a cute cafe and beautiful park. We would definitely consider staying here again!

We had such a great stay at this kitchy, fun apartment! The layout was perfect for our family of five (2 adults and 3 teens) — plenty of room to spread out, relax, and still come together. The space is bigger than we expected, with lots of comfortable spots to eat, hang out, play games, and, of course, sleep well after long days exploring.The apartment itself has such a unique charm and the games kept everyone entertained (no small feat with teenagers!). It’s very family-friendly, which made our trip stress-free and enjoyable.The location is great, too — close to everything we needed but still quiet and relaxed. Communication with the host was absolutely wonderful from start to finish: quick responses, super helpful, and made everything easy.Overall, this was the perfect spot for our family trip. We’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, comfortable, and well-hosted stay in Bellefont!

We stayed here for our son’s college graduation from Penn State. It was super easy to commute to and from State College (about an 18 minute drive) and the location in Bellafonte is perfect- easy walk into town, restaurants, and the beautiful park close by. the property itself is in a big old Victorian building located on the upper floor. we were surprised at how spacious it was: two large bedrooms and a large den/ sitting room in addition to the large eat in kitchen and entry. the owner includes so many interesting and and fun retro touches all over the property which added to the allure of the place. we also appreciated the owners attention to details like stocking the kitchen with many different coffees, creamers, snacks, drinks and even official Creamery ice cream! the bathroom included plenty of towels, very good shampoo and conditioner and the bedrooms included plenty of extra pillows and blankets. Finally, the owner made the whole process very easy with regular communication, easy check in process and lots of good advice for activities and dining. The whole stay was very comfortable and enjoyable. we woujd highly recommend and would stay again.

We stayed in the Retro unit last year when my son graduated from Penn State and had a great experience so this year we opted to stay in his “stylish getaway” unit and we liked it even more than the retro unit! the apartment is spacious, charming, comfortable, nicely decorated and stocked with snacks and a nice coffee bar setup. The bedding was top notch in the master bedroom and there were plenty of extra pillows and blankets. The location is perfect- centrally located in charming Bellafonte- . easy drive to penn state, walking distance to lots of shops, restaurants and parks..perfect place to stay for graduation or one of the home games! Jess was great to work with as well and even stoppped by with cinnamon buns while we were there!!highly recommend!!!!

Everything was well-appointed, and the retro touches were all so fun.The place is within close walking distance of restaurants and lovely Talleyrand Park. Communication with the host/property manager was lightening fast. We can't wait to return!

When I booked this rental I thought the apartment could never live up to the expectations. Well, it actually exceeded our expectations! It is such a unique place that oozes with sentimentality for childhood days gone by. So many wonderful discoveries in each room! My best friend and I played Trouble, Kerplunk and best of all, Ms. Pacman! The host was so wonderful and pleasant. I highly recommend this rental. It is a joy and I can only hope I am able to get back there someday. 👍👍👍

The games are so much fun. The beds are comfortable and we will definitely be coming back again. Good night have asked for a better place to stay. Also, their spot is in walking distance to great restaurants and a beautiful river and park.

Bob's awesome retro apartment was the perfect spot for our quick getaway to Happy Valley. All of us (ages 8 through 70) loved the multitude of games, cool decorations, and extremely comfortable beds. The apartment was well stocked with everything we needed and the responsiveness of the host was fantastic. We really enjoyed the location as it gave us the opportunity to walk just down the street to a cute cafe and beautiful park. We would definitely consider staying here again!

We stayed here for our son’s college graduation from Penn State. It was super easy to commute to and from State College (about an 18 minute drive) and the location in Bellafonte is perfect- easy walk into town, restaurants, and the beautiful park close by. the property itself is in a big old Victorian building located on the upper floor. we were surprised at how spacious it was: two large bedrooms and a large den/ sitting room in addition to the large eat in kitchen and entry. the owner includes so many interesting and and fun retro touches all over the property which added to the allure of the place. we also appreciated the owners attention to details like stocking the kitchen with many different coffees, creamers, snacks, drinks and even official Creamery ice cream! the bathroom included plenty of towels, very good shampoo and conditioner and the bedrooms included plenty of extra pillows and blankets. Finally, the owner made the whole process very easy with regular communication, easy check in process and lots of good advice for activities and dining. The whole stay was very comfortable and enjoyable. we woujd highly recommend and would stay again.

Perfect home base for visits to Penn State- adorable town with plenty of breakfast/coffee options. The apartment is filled with fun 70s and 80s nostalgia, and a Ms Pac-Man and pachinko game! Beds are SO comfy, LR is roomy and cozy for hanging out and watching a movie or playing games or chatting. Everything you need and more!!

We stayed in the Retro unit last year when my son graduated from Penn State and had a great experience so this year we opted to stay in his “stylish getaway” unit and we liked it even more than the retro unit! the apartment is spacious, charming, comfortable, nicely decorated and stocked with snacks and a nice coffee bar setup. The bedding was top notch in the master bedroom and there were plenty of extra pillows and blankets. The location is perfect- centrally located in charming Bellafonte- . easy drive to penn state, walking distance to lots of shops, restaurants and parks..perfect place to stay for graduation or one of the home games! Jess was great to work with as well and even stoppped by with cinnamon buns while we were there!!highly recommend!!!!

The condo was very spacious and comfortable. Loved the kitchen with its Keurig plus it was nicely stocked with supplies such as olive oil, spices and snacks. I stayed there with my carpenter son who is preparing his home 2.5 miles down the road for sale. It was well worth the expense to have a nice place in which to relax. Thanks, Bob and Jess, for such nice accommodations and service.

This apartment is on the 3rd floor of older home. Lots of stairs. Ended up changing to unit on 2nd floor. Very cool historic town.

Great space, very clean and comfortable. Only drawback was that I didn’t read closely enough to realize the apartment was on the third floor, not the second, so the extra set of stairs were unexpected. Otherwise, outstanding stay!

Such a fun vrbo! We enjoyed the motif, it was very retro. The home was clean and had all the amenities and then some. We had multiple cars and had no problems parking on the street. I will definitely book again!
