Overview
Lodge, 2 Bedrooms/loft, 1 Bath, (Sleeps 10)
Linhaven Lodge is conveniently located within 6 miles of Dushore, in the endless mountains of northeast PA. You can find the amenities you need amidst the backdrop of small town charm. Nestled in the woods, Linhaven borders the 7,909 acres of state gameland #66. You can choose to enjoy the simple pleasures of nature that surround you by walking the quiet stoney roads that access the lodge, drop a line in the nearby large ponds, or simply prop your feet up at a peaceful campfire and enjoy the spoils of friends and family. For the adventurous at heart, you could test your skills by scaling the 24 named falls of the Ricketts Glen falls trail, or hike the Loyalsock trail to the Haystacks boulders and Dutchman falls. Linhaven is centrally located between Ricketts Glen and World's End state parks, so you can choose a trip to either with a mere 1/2 hour drive.
Enjoy the numerous wineries that welcome NEPA visitors with open arms, and generous samples of their spectacular inventory. Easily accessible as well, are the unique country shops, scheduled fairs and festivals, boating and fishing the Susquehanna and Lake Jean, swimming, skiing and snow tubing, a day trip to Knoebels amusement park or PA's little grand canyon.

Guestbook comments from the owner
I am grateful for the comments, and in fact she is absolutely correct about the toilet system. I am so happy to report that as of March 30th, the initial
"environmentally friendly" toilet system we had in place has been replaced. The only thing I disagree with is the distance to travel for groceries, as it is 6 miles into the town of Dushore where there are two grocery stores, as well as a 24 hour mini mart to accommodate your needs.

Amazing cabin and very secluded
We will definitely be staying here next time we come to the area. Cindy and Hugh are great people and there is almost any condiment you can think of. They were so happy to let our dogs stay at the cabin, they even had a dog bowl for them!
Adorable and cozy!
Loved the cabin. It was clean and had everything we needed. Coffee on the front porch was a highlight of our day!
Great
This was my second stay at Linhaven lodge and can't say enough about it. Cindy
Supplies everything but your basic food. The place is spotless and a wonderful quiet location. A gem in Sullivan county. Can't wait to stay at Cindy's other property.
Thanks Cindy!!!!
Lovely home in the county
My family stayed at the Linhaven Lodge while visiting Dushore for a family reunion. Cindy was a very welcoming, friendly and communicative host. The house is just lovely, inside and out. It was so comfortable and perfect for our family. We had no cell phone reception while at the house (common for that area) so I recommend bringing a map or taking screen shots of maps from your phone. The beds were very comfortable and my kids loved the loft that was stocked with fun board games. If you have little ones, bring a baby gate for the top of the stairs in the loft. This was a very nice home to stay in!
Beautiful, secluded, homey cabin
Our family of four (2 adults, 17 yr old & 21 yr old kids) was looking for a "get-away" vacation. I was thrilled to find such an amazing cabin at such a great price in the area of PA that we were interested in visiting. The pictures on the website showed an amazing place, but when we arrived, we were more than happy with Linhaven Lodge. The decorations made the cabin extremely homey and very comfortable. The website indicated that the cabin was well "stocked", but again, we were surprised at all of the amenities that were supplied -- shampoo/conditioner, dish soap, condiments, towels/washcloths, linens, paper products, a large variety of DVDs, a bike, all kitchen appliances, dishes, utensils, cleaning supplies, and more. It literally felt like home-away-from home.
Someone complained about having to go to Cindy's house to get the keys to the Lodge. Her home is not that far from the Lodge and I think for safety reasons and for her peace of mind, this is not too much to ask. The Lodge is located in a very peaceful and secluded area. While we were staying at Linhaven, we saw three vehicles in the five days. One of those was a Penn Electric truck because our electric had gone off; one was a township truck and there was a random vehicle one evening. If you are looking for an amazingly peaceful, get-away from everything, vacation -- this is the one for you! You can not go wrong with this cabin if you want to leave the hustle and bustle of life at home and relax.
My favorite part of the Lodge was the porch. I would get up before my family in the morning and go there to drink my coffee and read. The sound of the birds and the breeze in the trees was so relaxing. In the evening, when my husband wanted to watch TV, I would retreat there again for peace and quiet to read. My second favorite place was the fire ring. This presented an amazing chance for the four of us to sit around and enjoy each other's company.
If I had any complaints, it would be about the mattress on the bed in the master bedroom. I ended up sleeping in the loft with my kids. The beds up there were much more comfortable. My husband remained in the master bedroom and was comfortable with just himself. It was just not very comfortable for the two of us.
The price was great! The customer service was fabulous! The cottage was PERFECT! Thank you for an unforgettable vacation! Highly recommended!
Nice Cabin, Uncertain Arrival
First off, the cabin is very nice. It's a small lot, but the cabin itself is very well-constructed and cared for. All of the amenities work properly (although we did not need AC). There were plenty of towels, the kitchen was well stocked, and the cabin was clean and neat upon arrival.
We booked months in advance and were told we had to drive an extra 7-10 miles to Dushore to pick up the key. I explained when we booked that we were already driving 200 miles with 3 young kids, and did not want to do this, so the owner agreed to meet us at the property instead. Then, months later, a day or two before the trip, the owner told me again we had to drive to Dushore to get the key, adding 15-20 extra miles round trip. Or else we could have our money back and not take a trip we had planned for months. When you drive 200 miles with anyone, let alone 3 young kids, the last think you need at that point is another half hour in the car to hunt down a key. We understand from other reviews this is so the owner, "Can have a look at you." This implies if the owner does not like the looks of you, then you may be told to turn around and go home. So while in transit, we got hung up in traffic and realized we would be an hour or more late. The owner then relented and agreed to leave the key on the property for us. Which makes no sense, because if you are concerned about whether or not your guests are trustworthy enough to have access to the cabin, then that should not change just because they're arriving an hour later. We found the key where it was promised, so there was ultimately no problem, except the extra stress. That said, if you are thinking of renting this cabin, and you live north or north west of Dushore, then you actually do need to pass through the town in order to reach the cabin. If you make it there, you will like it.
