If you are ready to relax and enjoy a peaceful weekend, with exquisite food, fine wine and excellent service, consider this establishment.

Our room was was absolutely beautiful, spotless and with more than adequate space.

The restaurant in the hotel is excellent with refined ambiance, impeccable taste and a view of the golf course and woods.

A note though if you are considering a future stay: lunch and dinner are "country club casual" i.e., no denim. Bring your khakis and casual shirts for dining. This was a minor requirement, and of course you can where denim outside the restaurant, and for walks, and trips.

Also, you are only 10 - 15 miles from the Nittany Winery. You will want to take the scenic drive to this diamond in the rough, and enjoy tasting some very good local wines.

After my stay, I genuinely felt rejunvenated, and wished I had a full week to enjoy the tranquility and refined surroundings of the Carnegie House

My wife and I looked to get away in State College - lucky for us all the traditional places (Marriott, Ramada, etc.) were booked. (In the summer no less.) We stumbled into CH as a last alternative. CH was expensive (+$*-$*/day) compared to other local places, but we were looking to spend a special day away from the routine of daily life. CH was worth every penny and then some. The staff treated us like dignitaries (even with our bermudas), the room and furnishings were excellent, and the dining and meals were great. This is a new facility and adjacent to the Toftrees golf resort - next time the clubs come too! It's close to the university, the town of State College itself and some interesting nearby villages. We give it a thumbs up!
