Very Cool, Retro Getaway in Heart of Downtown

After a renovation, this fun and comfortable third floor apartment is finally ready for you.
One block from Main Street. Featured as one of Bellefonte's most historic buildings on the Historic Walking Tourā€¦(so itā€™s not perfect looking and new)
There is ONSITE PARKING for 1 car behind the building plus free parking on the street on evenings and Sundays
Premium mattresses, Comforters, sheets, and pillows.Towels and toiletries provided.
Bedroom 1 has a Queen Bed and 2 TwinXLs
Bedroom 2 has 2 TwinXLs
Ms. PacMan Arcade game
KEURIG with Latte option
Roku TV, Cable with Disney, Apple TV, Hulu, etc
This is a large two bedroom, third floor apartment.
It has been renovated and is clean and comfortable with tons of classic board games, a Ms Pac-Man arcade game and other cool stuff.
PLEASE NOTE: This apartment is not new, it's 150 years old so everything is not shiny and new..like the trim and some of the walls, for example.
I'm also in the process of renovating the lobby and stairways so they are still original:) There is also no elevator in the building.
Located in downtown Bellefonte. One block from Main Street, two blocks from Talleyrand Park. There are a lot of great restaurants and neat little shops nearby.
Remember itā€™s a third floor apartment you access via the stairs. It's an easy drive to downtown State College (about 18 minutes) and Beaver Stadium (just 15 minutes away in non-game day traffic!)
Pets only upon approval. $50 pet fee

Perfect home base for visits to Penn State- adorable town with plenty of breakfast/coffee options. The apartment is filled with fun 70s and 80s nostalgia, and a Ms Pac-Man and pachinko game! Beds are SO comfy, LR is roomy and cozy for hanging out and watching a movie or playing games or chatting. Everything you need and more!!

What a fun stay! A blast from the past for those of us who love the vintage games and relics of yesteryear (books, board games, Nintendo and even a Ms Pacman arcade) but also a spacious and comfortable stay. Everything was well-appointed, and the retro touches were all so fun.The place is within close walking distance of restaurants and lovely Talleyrand Park. Communication with the host/property manager was lightening fast. We can't wait to return!

A Trip Down Memory Lane

As Gen Xers, we loved the 80s retro vibe of this apartment! We spent a lot of time wandering through each room, reminiscing about our childhood and the games we used to play. Of course we spent the better part of the evening playing the Nintendo! The beds in the bigger bedroom had some of the most comfortable mattresses we've ever slept on! The property manager is incredibly responsive and the property is close enough to Penn State without paying exorbitant prices. Overall, a wonderful stay!

To say we were entertained during our stay would be an understatement. The apartment was packed with 80s memorabilia and decor, creating a nostalgic retro vibe. I highly recommend this gem!

We enjoyed our stay and my kids loved all the games! I also liked the separate TV area so after kids went to bed we could enjoy some Nintendo games. Lots of cool details.

Spacious , comfortable accommodations in downtown Bellefonte

I loved the 3rd floor flat; it was truly a home away from home. It was very clean and quiet with comfy beds; plus convenient access to Bellefonte restaurants and interesting little shops. The apartment was full of games and fun items which would be delightful for families with children and/or teens. I could not think of a better place to occupy kids plus it is a block from a beautiful park.

Home away from home

The condo was very spacious and comfortable. Loved the kitchen with its Keurig plus it was nicely stocked with supplies such as olive oil, spices and snacks. I stayed there with my carpenter son who is preparing his home 2.5 miles down the road for sale. It was well worth the expense to have a nice place in which to relax. Thanks, Bob and Jess, for such nice accommodations and service.

Cute Retro Apartment

Bob's awesome retro apartment was the perfect spot for our quick getaway to Happy Valley. All of us (ages 8 through 70) loved the multitude of games, cool decorations, and extremely comfortable beds. The apartment was well stocked with everything we needed and the responsiveness of the host was fantastic. We really enjoyed the location as it gave us the opportunity to walk just down the street to a cute cafe and beautiful park. We would definitely consider staying here again!

Retro Get Away

We had a very nice stay at this apartment. It is obvious that the hosts have worked to make the home special, especially for those who want to enjoy a blast in the past! It was up two flights of stairs which was hard to maneuver with luggage but once inside, very nice! The owner called to see if we wanted anything in the fridge before we came which was a nice touch.
