Boalsburg Residence

Home was very nice and comfortable. My dog enjoyed the fenced back yard. I didn't think the bed was very comfortable, but I slept very well, so no complaints. My stay was very relaxing. The only issue was accessing the front door. The description indicated there was only one step, making it accessible to most. Unfortunately, that one step was very high, and there was no railing, and I had a very difficult time getting up on it. The back door was easier to access, so after my first entry, I was able to use the back door. A smaller step and rail or a ramp would make the home more accessible.

Perfect Getaway

We had an amazing stay at this house! I stayed here with three friends and the house was absolutely perfect for us. It was spotless when we arrived, and we immediately fell in love with the decor — it’s even better than the photos. The location was great too, close to everything we needed but still peaceful and quiet. I did not bring my dog, but the fenced in yard would have been perfect for her! We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable place to stay!

Good for babies and toddlers.

We had two babies in our party and had enough room to set up two pack-n-plays in the bunk-bed room. Also, since we were traveling with two littles for a medical appointment, Dawn, very kindly, granted us a late check-out which was very much appreciated

Cute home

Small, cute, tidy home that was well stocked and had a big back yard for the pup to run around. My teens loved the fire pit with s’mores supplies and the waffles with toppings. Location close to everything we needed for states. Angelos pizza is a minute away and delicious! The owner responded promptly with questions. We would stay here again if in the area.We didn’t need anything, but this place is very kid friendly. My only suggestion would to have a table, dresser, small desk in the bunk room. We didn’t have anywhere to unload our stuff or to lay things out on. But that’s minor. We loved the time here.

Go Blue is an absolute gem!

This cozy cottage, just a stone’s throw from Penn State, is the perfect blend of comfort and charm. From the moment I walked in, I could feel the attention to detail that made our stay so relaxing. The thoughtful touches—plenty of plush towels, a well-stocked kitchen, and even some sweet little extras—made it feel like a home away from home. The location couldn’t be more convenient, especially for Nittany Lion fans. I’m already planning my next trip and can’t wait to stay at Go Blue again. Highly recommend!

Great place to stay!

This was our second visit to this lovely Boalsburg home. As PSU alumnae, we enjoy returning to the State College area in the summer with our dog. During our stay, our evenings were spent in the backyard having dinner on the patio and having fun sitting around the fire pit. Thanks so much for being a great host!

Home Away from Home!

Loved our stay at Go Blue! We travelled to the area from 9 hours away, arriving to a house pre stocked with incidentals, and not having to run to the grocery store immediately was VERY helpful! The waffle station was such a yummy touch for our first morning! The yard is large, and has plenty of space for dogs and kids to run around! Minutes from Penn State….so a great bet for all things Nittany Lion related! Will be back to stay 100%!
