Enjoy an evening of Victorian pastimes. Relax by the fireplace in the foyer surrounded by a collection of Santas. Common areas for guests include a Victorian parlour with player piano and stereoscopic viewer. Sit on the front porch and listen to the quiet while sipping a mint tea and watch the neighbors enjoy caring for their beautiful homes. Spend some time in the common areas for socializing and board games. Walk to the historic commercial district and purchase that unique gift or enjoy fine dining in a charming Victorian village. Indulge in a gourmet breakfast served in the elegant dining room with antique glassware and linens. Weather permitting; breakfast is served on the patio where you can also enjoy the native gardens, birds, and pollinators. We hope that you will share our green philosophy during your stay and perhaps go home a little richer for it. The Queen is making every effort to be as environmentally friendly as possible. We welcome your ideas and suggestions, as well. Stay in Anne’s Room, the original master bedroom with curved glass windows overlooking the rooftops of its neighbors.

As an added convenience for our guests, take the CATA bus line to State College and Penn State campus sites from a step right outside our front door and leave the parking and driving to someone else.

There is an outdoor playground for children one block away and another just a short walk in Talleyrand Park. There is a public pool only 1.5 miles away. We are 3 blocks from world class fly fishing and just ½ mile to kayak and canoe rentals. We are 4 blocks to the YMCA. (If you’re staying with us, you can get a free day-pass!)
Nancy is a Penn State graduate who has traveled extensively and lived in Japan for several years. After 23 years as director of a VNA and hospice program she somehow found herself opening a bed and breakfast in her home. It must be a good fit because she and Curtis are now in their 28th year! Together they have spent 50 years restoring a 15 room Victorian and creating a wildlife habitat and pollinator garden on the grounds. Come explore and maybe take a few native plants home with you.
