The room was roomy, bright and cheerful. The common area rooms were warm and elegantly furnished. Meals were prepared fresh to order from a more than ample selection. We've stayed in many B&Bs and this was among the best, a great experience. Bill Speakerman is a fantastic owner/host and cook.

We were greeted warmly when we arrived by Cheryl and Bill. They gave us the tour. After we settled in, we parked ourselves in the beautiful and comfy library, in front of the fireplace to read and relax. We enjoyed meeting the other guests, and breakfast was a delight. The only suggestion we have is to place 3-way bulbs in the lamps next to the bed for easier reading.

What a wonderful overnight stay we had at Springfield House! We had been driving for several hours and what a treat to find local wine and outstanding chocolates available at 5PM on weekends, which we enjoyed in the garden. The room was lovely, comfortable, spacious and well appointed. A perfect blend of modern comforts in an old beautiful home. A short walk across the street to a relalxing meal in Duffy's Tavern (a historic 1800's building) and a stroll along this historic neighborhood topped off the evening. Our breakfast was quite delicious, plentiful with many options. Bill and Cheryl Speakman - Thank you for a wonderful stop over!

My husband and I stayed at the Springfield House recently. We enjoyed our experience at the inn--the food, the owners, and the bedroom were lovely. We particularly enjoyed the modern bathroom which was private. Breakfast was made to order and was wonderful. The homemade cinnamon buns were outstanding. The atmosphere at the inn was quiet and peaceful. We also enjoyed the surrounding area of Boalsburg with its local tavern (Duffy's-yes, we recommend), gift shops, and chocolate shop. We would highly recommend this inn and location if traveling to the State College, PA area.

traditional b & b charm and comfort with unobtrusive innkeepers. Excellent location on the quiet main street of Boalsburg, which also included well-known Duffy's Tavern & Restaurant, and charming shops along the 3-4 blocks long "downtown'. Yet it is a very easy and convenient 3 mile drive to downtown State College or to the football stadium. This place allowed enough privacy and ability to go and come as you please to make even the most "b&b phobic" person be able to relax and enjoy.

Toward the end of our two-week tour of the East Coast we stayed at the Springfield House. Although I'd attended Penn State in the 80's, I'd never been to Boalsburg. The main street was quaint, if rather abbreviated, and the PSU campus is a short drive away. The common rooms in the house were pretty and had interesting knick-knacks. We were amazed at the size of our bed, TV and bedroom. The furniture was very high quality, the bathroom had a good shower. We were pleased to be able to leave our windows open. The breakfast was good, if typical, and the cook was friendly. The only negative aspect of the stay was the greeting on our arrival, which was rather cold.

My wife and I stayed at the Springfield House over a weekend in April of 2007 and enjoyed our stay greatly. We decided to spend a night in the State College area recently, so again chose the Springfield House bed and breakfast. As before, our stay was a pleasure. Bill and Cheryl are very nice hosts, and the house is beautiful and well kept throughout. Bill makes a delicious made-to-order breakfast. The location is very convenient to Penn State, and the DVDs for in-room viewing and the available honor system snacks and sodas are nice touches to the stay. If we are staying in the State College area in the future, the Springfield House will definitely be tops on our list.

The front porch was lovely for relaxing with a glass of wine after dropping him off at his dorm and a hectic week of college preparations.

We had two rooms, and each was quite large and very comfortable. Cooked-to-order eggs at breakfast were done perfectly, but the toast made from store-bought bread was barely toasted. Having been a professional baker and having very high standards, I was disappointed in the warm cinnamon buns, but others seemed to thoroughly enjoy them. Fruit salad was good and plentiful. I would absolutely stay here again, but I wouldn't go back to Duffy's Tavern for dinner (across the street). Two bonuses: the inn's excellent DVD collection and Boalsburg Chocolates two steps away.

You really felt like you knew the people who were welcoming you into their home. We enjoyed the pictures on the walls and especially the charm of the decor! The wine and chocolate in the afternoon was a wonderful, unexpected treat!! And we appreciated having coffee(wonderful coffee!!!!), tea, and bottled water always available!! The snacks and the soda's that were available on the honor system were very convinent in the evening! My favorite "extra" were the plush terrycloth robes hanging in our room!!! We loved being spoiled!!! And the breakfasts were awesome!! We even took advantage of the DVD library downstairs and enjoyed a movie in our room. Thanks for a great stay!!!

A beautifully refurbished home in a charming village, The Springfield House more than met our expectations. We three couples have been going to B&Bs in March (our own "March Madness") for the past several years. Each year it is one of the couples turn to choose the B&B and the locale; we have stayed at some very lovely B&Bs in Cooperstown NY, Wellsboro PA, the Seneca Lake NY region. This year was our turn. We chose The Springfield House B&B and Boalsburg. Our friends now say we have set a standard that will truly be hard to meet let alone surpass. They may even surprise us and return next March to The Springfield House...which none of would mind doing at all. For sure if we can get our reservations in on time we are hoping to return during the 2009 PSU football season with some other friends to again enjoy the warmth and hospitality of The Springfield House.
