No. You are not entering the house as a rental property and are not collecting rent or preparing a Schedule E for rent. You cannot enter your trip home to PA as a tax deduction. You simply own a "second" home for which you cannot deduct expenses for repairs or improvements. Save the records of anything you do to the home for someday when you sell the house; some of them may count as capital improvements.
