Absolutely a pleasant stay. As hotels price gouge, it led me here. Pet friendly as an added bonus. Very clean space and well kept. Lisa also shared outdoor activities in the area to ensure a positive stay. Property is also conveniently 15 mins away from Penn State. We are looking forward for future stays here during the next 4 years. This host should by now, if not already be close to being "Premier Host" level

My family of six and our two dogs stayed at this property for a long weekend. It is tucked away in a small neighborhood and felt pretty private. The rooms are spacious and comfortable and the pool was delightful. Our dogs enjoyed the fenced in yard with lots of room to run around, while we enjoyed the pool and relaxing. Overall a great experience!

This was a central meeting place for several adult cousins/siblings and their children and the house was perfect! We loved the vintage style (with modern features like A/C and Wi-Fi) and the pool/yard/grilling area were perfect for everyone. Large kitchen/breakfast area for adult gathering during a storm with another big room downstairs for the kids to play. Highly recommend if you’re in the area.

Lovely house with ample property. Bedrooms were well furnished with beautiful furniture and soft linens. You can tell the owner has taste and style.
Kitchen was well equipped for a large family gathering. Bathrooms had charm and character. House layout was perfect for a family gathering while also providing privacy.
The pool and patio was lovely with a big back yard. Deck chairs could be updated but did not distract from a great experience.
Would highly recommend a stay at this location.

House is clearly actively lived in. Refrigerator filled with food. Cabinets filled with dry goods, open packaging, etc. Coffee maker had not been cleaned in enough time for the full filter basket to become full of mold.
Homeowner accused our group of entering the property up to 90 minutes early - untrue. Very unpleasant experience.

I'm so glad I found this property. We were looking for a relaxing, pet friendly spot for us to stay close to the Pine Creek Bike Trail. Not too far from Hershey and the Lancaster Amish Community, so if you're looking for a place to relax while visiting either of those, this is your place. More than enough room for our large family. Very quite neighborhood. Close to downtown. Wonderful pool area and back yard for our pooch to romp around and chase squirrels (don't worry, they are too fast for her, she can't possibly catch them). Lisa was very helpful in finding local places to eat and shop. Would definitely book here again!

The house was so big and had everything we needed for our small friend reunion during Homecoming weekend. Lisa was so helpful and we will absolutely try to come back again!

My family came to stay for a funeral and wanted to stay together. This place was prefect as we sat both inside which was cozy and outside which is beautifully landscaped. Also the proximity to all the places we had to go in Bellefonte and State College was very helpful….plus a grocery store nearby. Highly recommend the stay.

Paid for 4 nights/stayed 16 hrs. Listing fails to disclose that this home presents like a messy occupant lives here full-time.Choose wisely, we never would’ve rented.MASSIVE amount of personal items, no room for 10 guests’ food/belongings in this inhabited home. Bathrooms: hairy razors and open bottles FILL tub/shower space; open Q-tips, wipes, liquids/creams in all cabinets.Every bedroom/hall closets/drawers: shoved full of unorganized clothes/shoes, papers,toiletries,jewelry,etc.Kitchen:dirty Keurig;fridge door filled with used butter,sauces,oils,creams;freezer piled with items(including half-eaten cake); all cabinets with opened food/medicine.Dirty pool;large hazardous pile of chemicals/dirty toys/hoses/debris. Called Host Lisa,who frantically arrived and SCREAMED at us(6 kids present)for having concerns and for interrupting her swimming/dinner. She shoveled freezer items into a bag, took razors,stormed out. Messaged saying she’d give a $50 refund for the hairy razors(never did)and clean the pool the next day.Ignored other issues.We left at morning light.Lisa later sent pics of: 1. A room corner, accusing us of moving furniture and trying to con us out of $100; 2.Towels on hooks, but alleging towels were left on floor; 3.Bath cabinets, calling them “ransacked”(exactly the way we found them-and every other cabinet upon arrival-and why we sent pics of such to VRBO immediately.) VRBO reviewed and refunded us their profit plus partial refund. Lisa refused to refund her profit.

Please BEWARE! I have been a member of VRBO since 2016 and never had a bad experience until now.
I thought about booking this property to bring in the New Year with my family, my cousin's family, and two other families that are close friends.
Upon requesting to book the host strongly reiterated "no parties". We weren't planning to have a party, but it was New Years Eve and we were getting together with friends and family to bring in the New Year. We weren't planning to throw a party but then again I didn't know her definition of a party.
I saw in the properties prior reviews that she had problems with her neighbors and that other people had bad experiences.
I immediately asked the Host NOT TO ACCEPT MY REQUEST as I was reconsidering the property. I wanted to bring in the New Year on a great note not have problems. I started looking around the VRBO app to cancel my request and the Host accepted my request thereby charging my credit card.
My exact words were "I really don't want to take the chance, please deny the reservation".
I was flabbergasted. I asked her to cancel and she said she wouldn't cancel because she would get penalized from VRBO for canceling. I couldn't cancel without losing the entire cost of the trip because she has a 60 day cancelation policy, but I still had hope. She had said she wouldn't cancel because she didn't want to get penalized by VRBO, so if I could call VRBO and find a way for her to cancel without penalty then she should do it.
I called VRBO, explained my situation, gave the person helping me permission to read out exchanges, and he strongly agreed with me. He found a way for VRBO to allow the cancelation without the host getting penalized based on the chat between the host and I. I was relieved. He called the host, explained to her that he arranged a way that she wouldn't get penalized - and she refused to cancel! After 1.5 hours on the phone the VRBO representative told me in not so many words that even though he completely agreed with me that he could not reverse the reservation.
It only gets worse from here. After telling the host how dissatisfied I was and that I only wanted to bring in the New Year on a good note it only got worse. She stated she no longer trusted my group for self check-in and would have to meet us at the house and videotape us checking in. I found that really absurd. I have 6 years of good ratings on VRBO.
I'm out of space for the review but the story gets worse

Property is in a beautiful, quiet section of town about 15 minutes from the stadium. House is spacious with plenty of room - great for a group. Appliances are updated and everything is very clean. Host is great with quick responses to questions. Would definitely rent again...thanks!

The Robin's Nest was an awesome place for 14 of us to enjoy PSU. We had ages 5 to 70. There was plenty of room inside and outside of the house.
The host was available for any of our concerns.

Our family enjoyed the weekend at Robin's Nest! We celebrated 2 birthdays and the PSU Cheer Family Weekend (we have a freshman cheerleader). Our group included 2 sets of grandparents and adult children. The home was large with plenty of bedrooms for everyone! Beds were comfortable and we enjoyed the charming details of the mid century modern home. Thank you for hosting us!

I could go on and on about spacious rooms inside the house, but it is the back of the house that makes this rental wonderful. Two levels of porches! Very large pool! Huge fenced in backyard! Even the less outdoorsy of our group LOVED the outside areas. We will be back!

Great stay for soccer moms with our girls! House has great character & charm. We loved the layout, how clean the house is, amazing yard with total privacy! We will stay again when we come back for PSU visits. Approximately 17 minutes to the stadium!

Family get together
Everything was great from the rooms to the backyard and pool . We had a family get together with 9 adults and 1 child staying in the house and everyone had their own spaces and places to relax. We are starting to plan for another stay next year.

We would enjoy staying here again!

Comfy home in quiet neighborhood
Happy to have found Robin’s Nest available for PSU graduation weekend. We had plenty of space to spread out and enjoyed the cozy living spaces to catch up and wind down after the celebrations. Wish we had more time to explore Bellefonte!

The Robins Nest is the perfect place to stay with friends & family for a Penn State game! The house is spacious enough that everyone has their own privacy, but cozy enough to sit around & spend time together.

Hidden Gem for the whole family
This property is tucked into a very quiet corner of Bellefonte, about 15 min from PSU and 3 min from the historic town center. Great family house, they have everything you could ever need! Very well kept. Great stay all around.

Great time for the whole family!
We had a lovely time at Robins Nest for our family gathering. There was plenty of space for everyone to hang out together, or separately, have fun in the pool or relax outside. You do have to be careful about noise as sound carries very easily but Lisa warned us about this beforehand so we were prepared for this limitation. The area has great activities, hiking, boating, etc. Lisa was very responsive and accommodating.

Stay away
This home is spacious and has a wonderful kitchen, conducive to cooking meals while still being able to talk to family and friends . The pool area is ok although many leaves always accumulate on the pool especially at the very bottom. Please stay away from this house if you want to go there to have a great time. The neighbors will harass about noise and/or music even during the day. It seems the neighborhood is not happy with this place being rented out and it shows. The owner at first was very nice and then turned out to be a very shady person and even tried to unjustly stay with my damage deposit. Lastly, the lower level of the house gets very warm there is no air conditioning and the house overall needs updating as it is dated.

Backyard wonderland
The backyard is even nicer than it looks. The pool is huge and so is the yard. I was particularly happy to see that the entire yard is fenced even though it doesn't show in the photos. We brought our dog and he had a blast running around the yard.

Short Stay
We loved the property. The kitchen and pool was great. The pool wasn't heated but it didn't matter to the kids. Everything was pretty clean, 1 room smelt of dogs downstairs, but we just closed the door and left it. We will definitely rent again.

Cute house close to state college

Host was easy to work with - very accommodating and prompt responses.
