This was the cutest little railroad scale cabin. Plenty of firewood for fire and a beautiful fire pit. The property is clean and landscape beautifully. The hosts were so accommodating and kind I couldn’t ask for a better host. Wi-Fi worked wonderfully. Plenty of clean towels and dishes not to mention all of the utensils and a toaster oven microwave and coffee maker to boot. TV has streaming service which was great after a long hard hike. Can’t think of one thing they missed. We’ll definitely stay again if we get this way again.

Very clean and had just about everything you needed! The gas heater kept the whole place warm but there were plenty of blankets to keep warm under too. Definitely would recommend for a weekend away!

A nice place to serve as a local jump-off point

Its a quiet cozy cabin which is far enough into the woods to feel comfortably secluded while still being reasonably close to the town of Dushore along with other local destinations.

Perfect,Private and Pup Friendly

We really enjoyed this cozy cabin. Lots of space for the dog to explore and play. Cabin was clean and inviting. Felt like you are away from the world, yet close enough to nearby attractions.

Thank you for staying at our cabin. We went up as soon as you left and had messaged me saying the pipe was leaking and took care of it. Thank you for letting me know as it’s hard for us personally to be able to make it up there in between guests to look over everything with it being booked solid so I appreciate you messaging and letting me know so we could go fix it. Thanks again and hope to have you back! -Kelby

Lovely Little Cabin in a Great Location

Very clean and comfortable cabin just outside of quaint little town of Dushore. Nice yard, stream and trail on property. Lots of wonderful places in the area to hike and get out and enjoy nature. We enjoyed the peace and serenity while also enjoying the convenience of being close to town for grabbing any necessities as needed. Overall a wonderful getaway and we plan to stay here again!

Family Fun Outdoors

We've stayed here multiple times - it's the best! It has everything our family of four needs to enjoy the outdoors, get away for a bit, unplug, and relax. We spent all weekend exploring the creek, cooking on the campfire, hiking, and playing Yahtzee! It doesn't get any better that!

Prefect for a weekend away! The shack had everything we needed. The loft bedroom was a hit for our 7 year old. Beds were comfy and there were plenty of blankets. We were able to walk into town and also explored the old rail lines. West side deli was prefect to sit outside and eat lunch. Quick drive to Loyalsock for hiking. Make sure you pack warm, it gets chilly! Deck was great for a cup of coffee in the morning. Really a cool little spot especially if anyone in your family loves trains.

This place is our paradise. It was our 3rd year coming here and we're already counting down the months until we return. It's so relaxing and peaceful. Have never had an issue with the property or the owners. I highly recommend this cabin.

Cozy and clean

Every year, my three brothers and I go camping together. It is the one time all year that we can get away and spend some time with each other. This cabin was perfect for us. Four of us were comfortable and the property was really beautiful. Fire pit was great, and the trails on the property were also a big plus. The town of Dushore was quaint and the couple of restaurants we ate at were delicious. It is also very close to Ricketts Glen State Park, which is absolutely gorgeous.
