Spacious 7-bedroom house across from University and close to Downtown Lock Haven

We loved this house

My visit was good.Pros: The house was spacious and what I expected. I was in for a 75th birthday party and needed a place to cook for the event. This is perfect for large families. Cons: the cleanliness needs some attention. I understand this is someone’s home and treat it like mine. The refrigerator was nasty with food particles and small spills throughout it. I had to clean it before I felt comfortable putting food in it. There was a recycle bin under a cabinet that was overflowing. The dishwasher was run by the previous guests but it was full of dishes that I had to put away to use it. One of the bedrooms trash can was full. I contacted the host and the response I received was this isn’t a hotel or resort it’s my home that is lived in. If this is a home you’re renting out such as a hotel/resort I do expect things to be cleaned and reset for my stay. I wasn’t trying to see how much dirt or dust I could find. I was informing the host to ensure whomever she has to reset for the next guest resets properly so people don’t feel uncomfortable when they arrive. If I’m expected to take out the trash when I check out I don’t expect to find 2 trash cans overflowing with trash after it’s been reset. I don’t expect to have to empty a dishwasher full of dishes to use it. I wasn’t trying to receive a discount for the issues but to inform the host whomever resets her place isn’t being thorough and maybe needs a checklist to ensure everything is complete.Nice place poor host response.

Host was a great communicator. Cozy place for a winter stay. Warm and comfortable. Well stocked pantry. Could use a little more attention to some maintenance details but other wise very nice.

Family-friendly; Pet-friendly, but several openings in back yard fence in which our dog could've escaped and other animals could enter. We were constantly on guard taking the dog out!. Overall house clean, but many ants in kitchen.We also dealt with a bat inside the house for most of our stay, which was extremely distressing. On the second night, it repeatedly swooped and dove at our kids on the third floor, forcing them to move to a bedroom on the second floor. The following night, the bat followed them there and began dive-bombing everyone again. It flew between floors nonstop until we were finally able to contain it in a small cove area on the second floor. None of the six of us got much sleep as a result.This was the first time we’ve ever experienced a bat inside a living space, and it appeared unusually aggressive. At one point, it was flying in circles in a bedroom and repeatedly diving at my boys’ bed, coming directly at their pillows. We were also very concerned for our small dog, who stays kenneled at night and when we are out, as the bat had unrestricted access to the living areas. Overall, we had a good time at this property and it was extremely convenient for our needs just that pesky bat did not allow us to restfully enjoy our stay!
