We had a wonderful time, everyone commented on how cozy and comfortable the house was and the beds were so comfy. My daughter wanted to know where you got the mattresses from because she was in heaven. Check in was so easy and Brothers pizza was amazing. The only thing I would add is more mirrors, and a shade for the skylight in the loft. But everything was amazing. Plenty of towels and linens. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful lodge.

Love this place! Been visiting family in the area annually and it is the best spot to stay. Living space is large enough to play long board games and/or just relax together.

It was quiet, beautiful and not terribly far from areas we wanted to visit. Was great for the eight of us!

The home was wonderful, we had plenty of space for our large group. Very clean and it had all the amenities noted. The home owner went above and beyond when I had car trouble the last day of our stay. We were in Town for a PSU Football game and it was an easy commute. I would highly recommend this home. We will stay here again for PSU Games.

Although the house was connected to the host’s house, you would have never known that. Great privacy, short trip to town if anything is needed and very affordable.

I am sorry to say, I was disappointed with our stay. The listing said 30 min away and it is 40-45 min. Google maps states 38 min. That was a huge discrepancy for drive time back and forth to Penn State. I thought this place was going to be a really nice from the reviews and pictures. 1) The back door was unlocked when arrived (Hmmm) 2) The top burner didn't work properly; one top burner would go out if you were using the other tops burner so we really could not cook--- Frustrating 3) The towels smelled like mildew (All of them, they really need to be replaced) 4) The chandelier had only 1 light working 5) The stair railing was so loose, it looked like it was going to tumble right over if you placed your hand on it 6) We could hear the owners in the next room (they woke us up early) 7) They did not have the fire alarms in rooms. (Not sure if that's breaking the law) 8) The fireplace was not working and a note saying it was closed. I don't understand it was cold and they are heading into winter. 9) They had a fire pit and no wood... Yet no place around to get wood, they are pretty secluded. 10) You don't have any grocery stores close to you. Be prepared to get food before you go to the house. The location was beautiful but what we paid was not worth it. I am very disappointed. I am sad to say, I been to many VBROs and I have not experienced anything like this.

The rental was very good. It would have been excellent to have use of laundry facilities since we were there riding trails, even If it was only for part of the time. Also, no stove was a little difficult, we were able to use the toaster oven and grill, but that would have made it even better. The communication and friendliness was the best experience.

Excellent in all ways!

This place is exactly as described, plenty of space for our group (~20 people). the weather kinda sucked but there was plenty of space indoors. Our host was really fast with responding messages and very accommodating with special requests. Not to far from state college but far enough to get some peace. At the price we payed this is definitely an insane deal! I highly recommend Bucktail and hope to be there again soon with a smaller group and better weather.

We all had a great time at the Lodge. It's a well-appointed property that worked great for us and another couple. Only slightly challenging issue was the hot plate - not great for boiling water for pasta & cooking large amounts. Thanks for sharing your property with us!

My family rented this lodge for a family reunion near by. The house is clean, homely, comfortable, and in a great location. Instructions were left on the fridge and were very clear and concise! Bucktail lodge can sleep 7-8 easily (we had 7).

Great Reunion Spot

Great Reunion Spot

The property was as described, no surprises which was great. The kitchens functionality could use some slight modifications however we were prepared based on the description of the house. Upon arrival we cleared a few of the previous renters pantry/fridge items and moved items in cupboards for more functional use. Everything was SUPER clean, beds were really comfortable. Again, great experience...Rachel was AMAZING...definitely full service.

The lodge is a cozy little place. Well decorated with good furniture, comfortable beds, etc. the kitchen is small but if you’re not cooking a feast it works. The house actually serves as both the lodge and a home for the owners. However the owners do not disturb you but it’s good to know to avoid a surprise. The owner was very communicative and easy to work with. Our group’s (small) downsides of the place: the WiFi is a bit slow. The couches in the main room had not been swept under (though the rest of the place was clean this part was a little disturbing). There was also some leftover food items left in the fridge as well. Still a nice place to kick back and relax.
