Got tickets to Beaver Stadium on the visiting side? Reynold’s Mansion in Bellefonte is far enough from campus that you can wear your jersey without drawing too much ire. This B&B isn’t bothered by the team you root for; they’re more concerned with how you take your eggs in the morning. Scrambled, over-easy, or sunny-side-up? After a night beside the stone fireplace in your Carriage House’s jetted tub, you’ll be too blissed-out to care.
The Nittany Lion Inn
Hotel

Where better to stay during a Penn State game than in the Lions’ den, ie the heart of the campus? A straight shot down Park Avenue from Beaver Stadium, you’ll be well placed to take the kids on a tour of your college stomping grounds, or show them where you passed a chemistry exam by the skin of your teeth. First time on campus? Do as the freshmen do and blow the week’s budget on sweets at Penn State Berkey Creamery.

Carnegie Inn & Spa knows that when a hard-hitting game against Michigan is on the schedule, even the fans in the stand need a full-body pampering. Every king and queen suite has a little extra floor space, too, so you can pace away those game-day nerves. Win or lose, the revitalizing spa has massage, body wrap and skincare treatment to soothe everything bar your sore vocal chords. And if the team doesn’t pull through? Grace’s restaurant will do, with consolation cocktails and ice cream.

Spend a weekend pinging balls through the trees at Toftrees Golf Resort. You’re welcome to spend time hitting it out of the sand if you’d prefer (that’s the sand volleyball court, not the bunker), but what if you’re not one for the sports on offer? Spend the day exercising your taste buds instead, savoring regional cheeses and a house burger blend of short rib, chuck, sirloin and brisket at the Field restaurant.

Check in and check out of your suite’s Cozy Corner, a comfortable space with a sofa-sleeper that’s perfect for midday naps. Don’t let the day get too far from you, though. You’ll want plenty of time to choose between the dozens of restaurants around the block before you settle in for a show at the State Theatre.

Close enough to Beaver Stadium to make kick-off, yet far enough from campus to keep the noise to a minimum, Courtyard by Marriott is a quieter place to enjoy State College. Roll out of your king bed and into the lobby Starbucks queue. You can easily venture onto campus, but you could just as quickly get involved in a more hands-on history class at the nearby Pennsylvania Military Museum.
