This three story vacation home in the beautiful Endless Mountains is centrally located just 4 miles south of Dushore on what is locally known as 'Ringer Hill'. Part of the original 1850 homestead of Francis Xavier Lusch, this home is privately situated on 4 acres and within a short drive of World's End State park, Eagles Mere, the Loyalsock Trail(hiking to the 'Haystacks') and Rickett's Glen State park. The area boasts great fishing in the big and little Loyalsock Creeks and Hunters Lake & Lake Jean as well as some picturesque swimming holes, countless hiking trails, majestic vista views and just the simple beauty of nature which surrounds you everywhere you go. This is truly a great getaway meant for relaxing.

The Lodge
Our family loves coming to this area. The Lodge is perfect for us- large enough - clean and comfortable. The grandkids love to ride their bikes and fish. We enjoy swimming and hiking in the state parks nearby. Our stay this year was filled with good times - eating around the large dining room table and having campfires. Already planning next year’s stay! Thank you for sharing the Lodge with us!

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!

Host and Hostess with the mostest
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!

Best Sister Vacation
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!!!

Gets harder to leave after each stay.
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!

Great weekend.
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.
