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!

Adorable house, 10 min drive to main campus. We stayed here so my step daughter could visit for college. We even brought our little pup and the enclosed yard was so convenient. It was an awesome stay!

Weekend Stay
We were in town for our son's golf tournament at PSU and this was a perfect spot for a family of five with 3 kids 13 and under. It was convenient to the courses, clean, breakfast was a hit, and we even used the grill for an easy dinner on one of the nights.

Comfortable home
Clean, comfortable home. Easy check-in; check-out even easier. Host, Dawn, has made communication simple and straightforward. Home is in a quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed sitting out in the back - decided to have dinner here both nights as it was so peaceful. We would definitely stay again when in the area.

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%!

My daughter and I stayed while visiting for a competition at Penn State. The house is well decorated, beds are comfy, and there are lots of extras included (k cups, waffle station, comfy throw blankets). Our stay was wonderful-just like home! We hope to return the next time we’re in the area.

Great dog friendly bungalow
This was a great little house just a few minutes drive to Penn State. Big backyard for our dog to run around. A few things to keep in mind. Some of the rooms don’t have shades or blinds. I had to put towels in the bunk room for my daughter so she wasn’t so apprehensive. This is an older house and most of the rooms are in great shape. Updated(ish) kitchen and painted rooms. Nice floors. The bathroom needs some work/updates. I am a large guy, 6’3, and it felt like I was using a toddler toilet. This room just feels like it needs an update. Overall a great stay.

Great place to stay
This place is cute and cozy, wonderful for children and grown up children as well. I loved all the cute thoughtful touches like the fire pit, mini tabletop fires, natural soaps, waffle and coffee station, and that countertop ice maker is pretty cool! Dawn was a delight to communicate with any questions i had and check in/out was simple... the fenced in yard was key! 1000% recommend.
