Apple Pony Inn, Boalsburg PA

We loved our stay! My son and I were visiting State College for an accepted candidates day at PSU. All the hotels were booked but I was able to get a room at the Apple Pony Inn. I am so glad I did! It is soooo much nicer than a hotel. Rooms were spacious, bright, and very clean. It was quiet and pleasant. You're less than 10 minutes from campus but you feel like you are on a relaxing retreat. We had to leave before breakfast was served but Rachel prepared a bagged breakfast so we could "grab and go". Coffee and snacks were also plentiful. I am hoping my son decides to go to PSU so I can visit again. I wouldn't stay anywhere else!

Loved every minute of our stay. Rooms were large and very clean. Staff was amazing. Only a few miles from downtown state college.

This was my first visit to the Apple Pony Inn and I will definitely be back! Innkeepers, Tim and Rachel were so welcoming. The inn was impeccably clean and well taken care of. The views of the property were so relaxing! The bed was sooooo comfortable and the Pennsylvania Dutch apple dumpling is reason enough to go back! I would highly recommend the Apple Pony Inn!

Tom and Rachel were superb hosts. The rooms were immaculate and very comfortable. We will definitely book again when we revisit the area. Our experience was delightful!

The Apple Pony Inn is a very upscale Bed and Breakfast that is the perfect place to host an event or spend a weekend get away. Our holiday Christmas party was a hit. The service and food exceeded my expectations! Absolutely superior service!

Looking forward to our next visit- owners are WONDERFUL- great location for our travel to State College - pretty grounds- CLEAN- Quiet- very cozy!

We booked a last minute trip to State College and stumbled across the beautiful Apple Pony Inn. This was our fortune because our other options were bleak and overpriced. Sadly the accommodations in State College are dissapointing during the PSU football season. They command a big rate without delivering nice product. We were delighted to find this gem only 4 miles from campus with thoughtful, clean rooms, a gorgeous setting and a farm fresh breakfast in the morning. Once this Inn is discovered it will be tough to access, but if you are fortunate to book it now you will not be disappointed. We have already booked half the house for our son's December graduation and can hardly wait to return.

The Apple Pony Inn is stunning, clean and has a warm welcoming feel! The Inn was beautifully decorated and breakfast was delicious. It was a perfect place to stay for a PSU football weekend. It took less than 15 minutes to get to College Avenue to meet up with friends on Friday night. And, less than 15 minutes to get to Beaver Stadium for the game on Saturday. Such a great weekend!

Gorgeous property, great rooms, terrific host family, and delicious food! What more could you ask for!

The Inn is a short 10 minute drive to campus but was a nice break from the craziness of downtown State College during a football weekend. We stayed for the Ohio State Football weekend in the Shire Suite. The room was spacious, beds comfortable and we also had a large bathroom with soaking tub. Due to early tailgating we missed the delicious homemade breakfast on Saturday but enjoyed it Sunday morning, served by their personable daughter Alie.

Rachel, Tom and their family couldn't have been more gracious hosts, we will certainly be back!

Our stay was just okay. The bed was very comfortable. However, Football Weekend rates are very pricy, so we expected luxury amenities, which weren't readily available, or not offered, such as robes, slippers, extra linens like towels and blankets, & shower gel. The Shire suite is spacious & has two sinks, which are separated by the tub, but only one pump hand soap was provided. The jetted bathtub stopped working after the first night's use, and there weren't any space rugs in the suite at all. The floors were cold. The room was chilly, & guests have no control over thermostat temperature. House keeping did not freshen the room after our 1st night. Also, privacy was a concern, as there's a sheer, see through curtain at the sliding glass door in Shire. Finally, the least expensive, least favorable turkey bacon was served both mornings for breakfast. It was like cardboard. There are definitely better options. The apple dumplings were delicious. The Inn is only 10 minutes from State College, but it's all highway. You'll have to drive, or use a Ride Share company, or pay for parking on campus, which ain't cheap either. Shuttle service from the Inn to campus included with Football Weekend rates would have been great.

Stayed here a few weeks ago and the hosts are so nice. The house and room is beautiful in a great setting close to PSU but with a country feel. We will be back.

Our family of four had the pleasure of staying at the beautiful Apple Pony Inn for one night during their soft opening. This was the first time we had met Tom and Rachel, and we found them to be genuinely warm and gracious hosts. It's clear that Rachel has an innate instinct for hospitality. The inn is tastefully decorated and the rooms are spacious, sparkling clean, and comfortable. There's something magical about Mt. Nittany for us Penn Staters, and our family thought it was very cool to stay at the base of the mountain.

Friends of ours also stayed at the inn while we were there, and we very much enjoyed having relaxing conversation in the common area after a busy day on Penn State's campus and downtown State College. The next morning Rachel and her family prepared a delicious breakfast for all of us, while accommodating our family's dietary restrictions in a gourmet fashion. The kids especially appreciated their homemade spiced cherry jam, and I loved the locally-roasted coffee. Our stay truly could not have been better, and we hope to return in the future for more fun times with friends and family at Penn State and the Apple Pony Inn!

Everything you are hoping to find in a B&B in the heart of Happy Valley. The Apple Pony Inn is an upscale cozy retreat that offers a relaxing stay close to PSU. As soon as you arrive, you are graciously welcomed by the owners Rachel and Tom and their lovely daughter Ali. The rooms are beautifully decorated with thoughtful touches throughout the Inn. Rachel and Tom serve a delicious gourmet breakfast in the morning and make you feel right at home. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a perfect family get away, romantic get away, girls weekend, business trip, or visit to see your student. You will love it! I cannot wait for my next visit:)

The Apply Pony Inn was easy to get to, clean, with roomy accommodations that were well thought out, charming Penn State décor, and a delicious breakfast to start the day! We had our family of six stay during a Penn State Football game, and it was easy to check in/out, the kids loved the indoor and outdoor space, and everyone had a well rested stay. We plan to stay again during the next Penn State Football season!

This B&B could not be any more perfect! The area is beautiful and rustic, but still only a 10-minute drive from the football stadium and a 5-minute drive from restaurants, etc. The grounds are beautiful, and the views are magnificent (we had the pleasure of warm October weather and beautiful autumn colors). The B&B itself is warm and inviting – with bedrooms in separate “wings” on each side and a living room with a big TV in the middle, along with a mini-kitchen for guests to grab snacks and drinks and two dining areas. We were in town for a girls’ weekend to enjoy penn state soccer Friday and the white out football game Saturday, and actually looked forward to getting back and relaxing with the fire after our long days. But, what really sets the place apart are the owners Tom and Rachel. They’re the perfect hosts and put together a spectacular breakfast both days (the quality of the food and having all four of our dishes coming out within seconds of each other and hot off the stove/out of the oven made it feel like a high-end restaurant). Their daughter helped to serve which was also lovely. Everything feels brand new, is beautifully decorated and is meticulously clean! I’m torn between telling everyone I know or keeping Apple Pony Inn a secret, as I’m afraid my new treasure will become extremely popular.
