We loved our short stay in this home. The host was very flexible and easy to communicate with. We were close enough to downtown PSU to make coming and going easy enough. This old church had so much character and was a really cool place to stay! Would stay again and recommend to family/friends.

A true conversion. An old church, now a VRBO. Exactly as advertised. Clean, comfy, and convenient. Some quirks and creaks to be sure, but that just added to the charm.

Located in the heart of Pine Grove mills, this charming house suited our family well. We were 6 adults, siblings and cousins. Plenty of space for all. Loved the history of the house. Another cousin lives in Pine Grove Mills and has always been curious about the Church House and now she got to see inside. We had a family emergency and Sherry was very accomodating and responsive.

I have been driving by this place for years, admiring it from the outside. When I was looking for a local spot to host a dinner party and it popped up, I knew I had to rent it! It's just as wonderful on the inside as it is on the outside, just the right mix of modern renovations and antique charm. I was the only person who stayed overnight, and I used the downstairs bedroom. Upstairs is sort of a dormitory or hostel-like arrangement, a few rooms with several beds. It would be great for a large family or a group of close friends. If you are coming from out of town it is a good location for biking or a short drive to Whipple Dam park, Shaver's Creek / Lake Perez, Penn State, Historic Boalsburg, etc. Short walk to fine(-ish) dining and live music at Pine Grove Hall or Naked Egg Cafe for breakfast/lunch. Highly recommended!

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!

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.

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.

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!!

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!
