Welcome to our Creekside Cottage Retreat near Penn State, nature, and a variety of local treasures in the heart of Central Pennsylvania! We have a little bit of everything whether you’re looking for world-class fishing, a remote wilderness workspace, or a fun weekend with friends and family. Come join us creekside! *Discounted rates for booking in advance (2 months out) and week-long stays! Our creekside cottage is only 10 minutes away from Penn State and our property extends into the Fisherman's Paradise section of Spring Creek, so you have direct access to a Class A Wild Trout Stream in addition to easy access to the Spring Creek Canyon trailhead. If you’d rather enjoy nature more casually, we have lounge chairs available to take into the creek itself. Relax under a canopy of trees while soaking your feet in the coolness of the creek after a hike or enjoy a local brew from one of 6 nearby craft breweries. We’ve lived in Central PA for over 20 years and it’s a special place with something for everyone. We’re happy to provide recommendations to local restaurants and attractions (and back roads to avoid PSU traffic), so check out our guidebook, let us know what your interests are, and we’ll point you in the right direction. *Discounted rates for booking in advance (2 months out) and week-long stays! Our house was a 1940s fishing cottage that has been updated to include a modern galley kitchen, a retro arcade bedroom, a studio workspace, and a three-season porch overlooking the creek. To check in, just take the stairs on the right up to the main entrance, punch in a code, and you’re ready to start your vacation! All bedrooms have great views of the creek, so open up the windows and enjoy the views along with the serene sounds of the creek as you drift to sleep each night. We welcome up to two pets for an additional fee and are happy to provide a large dog crate to help lighten your load while traveling. Also, our propane grill is compact and available to take to tailgates. As long-time Aribnb travelers, we appreciate unique Airbnbs and good hospitality, so if there’s ever anything you need, just let us know. Check out our photo captions or read below to learn more about each space within our home, and drop us a message if you have any questions. Outdoor Space Our property extends into Spring Creek, so take advantage of fishing or just relaxing in the creek or creekside! The Creekside Cottage is across the road and built next to the hillside of Spring Creek Canyon, so we don't have a backyard, but our two small side yards provide great views of the creek and space for your pets to take care of their business. Studio The studio is the unique entry point to our home. This enclosed porch has a dedicated workspace, which is also our go-to place to eat meals. The desk serves as our dining table and is a custom-made, live-edge table made from local reclaimed wood by craftsmen just down the road. The studio overlooks the creek and our full-size daybed is a great place to relax during the day and a cozy bed at night. Three-Season Porch You can enter the screened-in porch through the studio or living room. Here you can enjoy the rush of the creek while lounging on the porch swing or sectional. It’s a great place to unwind with a larger group. Patio Sit around the fire table on our patio to enjoy the evening sky or grill out with the family and turn the fire table into your dinner table! Remember, our grill is portable, so feel free to bring it along to tailgates, but don’t forget to buy a small camping propane cylinder before heading to the game! Living Room Our living room combines modern comfort with vintage touches. Upon entering our home, we encourage everyone to set their technology aside at the charging station and put on their favorite record. In the evening, unwind on the couch or chaise in front of the 55-inch TV that comes with Hulu. While we do have a wood stove, it is currently unavailable as we debate whether or not to put the money into reviving it. Feel free to weigh in with your thoughts. Also, if you ever have a need for a larger dinner table, our side board can be moved out with flaps extended to accommodate dinner for six. Kitchen Speaking of dinner, all of the chefs out there will love cooking in our galley kitchen. With a brand new induction stovetop, you can cook in a moment’s notice as pans reach cooking temperatures in about half a minute! We have a brand new GIANT grocery store just two minutes up the hill, so there’s no need to bring your own food, and we have all of the pots, pans, utensils, oils, and spices that you’ll need. On top of all of that, we have a coffee bar to support a good start to each day! Bathroom Our bathroom is on the main floor and includes all of the basics: sink, toilet, and shower tub. Our filtered well water pump supplies good pressure and plenty of hot water is available in addition to plush towels. A new floor and vanity have been recently installed as well. Arcade Bedroom The first bedroom upstairs includes a bunk bed in addition to an arcade table and plenty of closet space. The arcade table is for two players and features all of the iterations of Amy’s favorite video game, Street Fighter, along with a few other games. Enjoy the blast from the past! Master Bedroom The master bedroom has a comfortable queen bed with memory foam topper with great views of the creek. Nothing beats waking up to the sights and sounds of the creek in the morning. The dresser in the main bedroom also doubles as a fly tying station for those on fishing adventures! Parking When you arrive at the Creekside Cottage Retreat, plenty of parking is available creekside in our gravel lot opposite the house. Cooling The temperature is generally more moderate in Spring Creek Canyon, but we have plenty of climate control to make sure your stay is as comfortable as possible. Air conditioners are located in the studio and each of the upstairs bedrooms. These are enough to keep the entire house nice and cool on even the hottest days. We hope to see you creekside soon!
A beautiful place, very clean, cozy, and filled with lots of character. Location was perfect. Trout fishing on Spring Creek...world class. My 9-year-old loved playing video games on the home arcade! I can't give a better review -- this is a gem of a place and the hosts are terrific.
This was our second stay at Brian & Amy’s place. They are amazing hosts and their home is lovely. We can’t wait to stay again!
Spent a long weekend at the cottage while visiting my niece at PSU. Creekside Cottage Retreat is not too far from campus and is close to a number of central PA’s fantastic trout streams. My wife and I both loved the cottage during our downtime. I took advantage of easy access to Spring Creek every morning and had some fantastic fishing. The studio and screened in porch were perfect for lounging and enjoying the sound of the creek. Brian and Amy were proactive with all communications and instructions and they were quick to respond to messages. We will definitely look to book again the next time we are visiting.
Brian & Amy’s place on Spring Creek is a gem. Decided to spend my 40th birthday here with my wife and son and it was exactly what we wanted. Great location (especially for fishing), clean and cozy. The house had a great covered patio where we spent every night on the swing eating ice cream. Brian & Amy were both very responsive in all our correspondence and provided excellent recommendations. We would definitely look to stay here again next time we visit the area.
There are several Airbnbs on our side of the creek. On the opposite side, there are family homes, so please respect the peace and quiet of the neighborhood. Spring Creek Road itself has cars or bikes passing by every minute or two so look both ways before crossing the street!
The Creekside Cottage Retreat is easily accessible from I-99, 322, and I-80. Located only three minutes from the I-99/220 Bellefonte exit, our house is easy to get to, but feels like you’re miles away while tucked into Spring Creek Canyon.
