5 Bedroom House in Bellefonte
Lion’s Lookout
Close to Penn State. Far from the Chaos.
Welcome to Lion’s Lookout, an amenity-packed 5-bedroom, 4.5-bath Penn State–themed retreat located in a quiet, upscale Bellefonte neighborhood. You’re close enough to enjoy Penn State games, events, and nightlife when you want it — and far enough away to return to a peaceful neighborhood at the end of the night.
Thoughtfully designed for multi-family stays, alumni weekends, and group getaways, Lion’s Lookout offers the perfect balance of proximity, comfort, and space. Instead of staying downtown and dealing with traffic, crowds, and late-night noise, guests love being just minutes from Bellefonte, a charming river town with excellent restaurants, coffee shops, breweries, boutiques, and scenic streets — all without the campus frenzy.
With two separate living rooms, a private garage game room, hot tub, and 11 TVs, this home gives everyone room to spread out while still coming together for unforgettable game days and relaxing evenings.
