Everything about the home, our hosts and our stay was top notch. Very clean and cozy accomodations. Comfortably fit 8 adults with everything we needed available.
Quiet peaceful location in the mountains with plenty of space for large groups. Comfortable and well stocked with everything you need.
The lodge is spacious and exceptionally clean. The decor is charming. The large covered front porch is great for gathering and relaxing at the end of the day. This is the ideal spot for large families or groups of friends. We are already planning our next stay at this wonderful getaway!
John and Kay are the best! We have stayed at their property before and love it! This time I messed up my dates and arrived with friends only to find someone staying at the house. They were checking out the next day, but that left us with no place to go. After talking to John and Kay they were gracious enough to let us stay in another house for one night. We then moved to the house that I had booked. Kay went above and beyond to accommodate us. Thank you to the best host and hostess!
The lodge is a perfect getaway for a large family. Plenty of bedrooms, bathrooms, seating areas, porches - a lovely property! The hosts are wonderful to work with! Looking forward to staying here again in the future!
Nice lodge. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out. Great location for visiting Rickett's Glen and Worlds End State Parks.
The Lodge has lots of space - is clean and comfortable. The grandkids enjoyed bike riding and fishing. It’s close enough that we could spend time at both Worlds End and Rickets Glen State Parks. Absolutely beautiful area - peaceful and heals the soul. Highly recommend!
The home was beautiful and in a very quiet area. My 5 sisters and I had a wonderful stay and enjoyed meeting John the property owner. The home is located in the middle of the mountains and very well taken care of. We are already planning a trip back next year. Thank you John & Kay for sharing this gem in the mountains!!!
Effortless
beautiful place, the house and the landmark.
This was the second time staying in this house and at the end of both stays, we find ourselves wanting to stay longer. If you enjoy being in a quiet secluded area, this is where you want to stay. The only negative from this stay was the water temp for showers was slightly cold, but that was because the temperature outside barely made it out of the teens. All in all, i think we are going to plan for a third stay in this house in the near future!
Clean, attractive, and comfortable property. Very close to Dushore. Was perfect for the future inlaws traveling in from Texas to attend a bridal shower in Sullivan County Pennsylvania.
Great place to chill & have a great time.
We enjoyed our stay at the Lodge! It’s very comfortable and plenty of space for our family. The area offers lots of fun. If you’re looking for a great place to stay in the mountains- this is it!
I rented this house for my family and siblings families. It did not disappoint. Very clean and large enough for all 12 of us with all the amenities that we have at home. Short drive to Rickets Glenn for hiking. Will definitely look at this house in the future.
We stayed at this house with a group of friends in the past and we enjoyed it so much we wanted to share the experience with another group of friends! This is the perfect place to unwind, spend quality time with friends/family, and enjoy the beautiful outdoors! Can’t wait to come back some day!
Well, no wifi. They say they do have it but goes in and out and stays off. Place is nice and all. When booking they charge you a cleaning fee but when you get there, they leave a list for you to complete and leave the place clean yourself? And you have to pay additional to take your trash out. But other than that, great place and location.
We were staying in the area for my daughter's wedding at World's End State Park. We were a group of 7 adults and 9 children ages 1-14. We rented both homes on this road owned by the same owner. Both homes were very nice! The homes were very clean and well maintained. The bedrooms were ample size, especially in this home ...the bedrooms were huge. We had a wonderful trip and I would recommend this home to anyone!!
The lodge is an immaculately clean and well kept home that fit our extended family of eleven people easily and comfortably. Staying here was a wonderful experience.
John & Kay are the best. We stay here every year & will continue to stay here.
The whole family just loves it here!
If you like the outdoors and friendly people, this is where you should stay. It's nice to rent from people who care about your experience when renting the property. Thank you
Nice clean vacation rental! Everything one needs, lots of room, and private. Lovely! Thank you for providing great accommodations for our girls weekend!
