    This inn, while very easy to find, is in the countryside just outside State College and a step back in time. The owners are very gracious hosts and cook up an amazing breakfast. We found the rooms to be large and comfortable and totally suited our needs. We were definately pleased with the accomodation and will stay there again when visiting State College

    Very nice, Victorian home in the bucolic country. It is 10 min away from downtown State College and all the action, but in a wonderful country setting. Owners are very accomodating and provide excellent accomodations. Highly recommend!

    We loved the Chatelaine, and adored our innkeepers, Mae and Amanda! I think the only thing we missed were enough plugs for computers and such. A couple of power strips in the bedroom would have been fantastic. Otherwise we were thrilled with our stay!

    Innkeeper Response
    We loved having this delightful couple, and feel so saddened that we failed to pull the power strip out of a bureau drawer. Usually it is beneath the glass-topped table, plugged in and waiting for added uses. We would love to have listened to our lady singing. But happily supplied a folding snack table in the Sitting Room for our gentleman's use, not knowing he might have preferred a power strip in his own room. Come again, folks, and we will do a better job. It was pure pleasure for us. Mae
