Linhaven Lodge is a very cozy retreat in an ideal location if your goal is to visit both World's End and Rickett's Glen State Parks. It's an easy drive to both from this spot, and your stay here will be made easier in general by all the little essentials that the Dalys provide. As some reviews have mentioned, the lodge is not exactly secluded, as there is another camp within view and earshot of the property. We didn't find this much of an issue because whoever was staying at the other camp was not even remotely rowdy, just a grandfather, son, and grandson trio. Also, yes, you do need to pick up the key from the owners, as they're not comfortable giving the key to people they haven't laid eyes on, which doesn't seem unreasonable, since they live within 10 miles of the lodge. Besides, not going there would mean missing out on Cindy's passel of boisterous pugs, who are adorable. Do not let any mention of an iffy toilet from previous reviews alarm you. The old toilet has been replaced, and the new one worked perfectly well for us. Otherwise, our experience was similar to other reviews: this is a clean, well-stocked property that the owners have taken a lot of care with. If any issues arise, Cindy is very responsive. You will love the front porch, and I half wished I was a kid again while there because I could definitely see kids loving sleeping in the loft space. Do note that if you want to use the fire ring, wood is not supplied, but there are plenty of places that sell fire wood, including a place not too far from where you will be picking up the key. A lot is provided on this property, but there are a few stores in Dushore where you're likely to be able to find the basics, if needed. There is a ton of great hiking in the area. The biggest challenge is choosing where to go.
