Our cabin is conveniently located 1 mile outside of small town Dushore. It offers a private getaway on 40 acres of wooded land encompassing a creek, walking trails on the old railroad tracks and much more.

Our cabin has a long history dating back to being used as a railroad scale house. The property contains old railroad tracks used as walking trails along with miles of other walking trails

Great living space that is open to the loft which contains two beds. Private bedroom with a queen bed. Living space has a recliner and futon that can be used as a sleeping spot.

Full size kitchen with electric stove and refrigerator. A grill and outdoor Fire pit are provided for additional cooking options. Large deck with family seating overlooks the nearby creek running through the property

Worlds End State Park and Ricketts Glenn State Park are both located within 20 miles from along with many other walking and hiking trails

There is a propane stove in the living room for heating along with electric baseboard in the bedroom. We have an air condition installed in the living room during the summer months

This is a cabin in the woods. You may experience deer, bear, turkeys, and other animals on the property. You also may see mice, spiders, or bugs as you are on a property in the woods. Please don’t hunt on the property. Thank you

We have bundles of fire wood available for sale. You are welcome to bring your own or use fallen limbs on the property, just please don’t cut down trees. We have some outdoor seating for the fire pit but would suggest also bringing your own along with some outdoor games if you wish!

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!

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.

Peaceful & Quaint Little Cabin

We loved this littlw cabin, it was perfect for our family of 4 and 2 dogs. It sits off back away from the town life, but is close enough to walk to. Very quiet and peaceful. Loved sitting outside, especially in the morning enjoying the tranquility of listening to the stream of water coming from the creek just a few feet away. Cute little trails and a big enough yard to let your pets run. Beautiful rows of flowers bordering the yard, tall pines that give off the wonderful smell, and the sound of nature makes it perfect for the ones wanting to get closer to nature. The cabin is quaint in itself. The history of the place gives it its character. The loft is perfect for older kids but may be an issue for younger ones. The stairs to the loft is very steep. The bedroom has plenty of room for a couple. The shower is a bit small, not made for a large or tall person. The toilet sits very close to the wall and sits low. The shower itself is very tricky, it would go from hot to cold so many times back and forth. The kitchen table is small but big enough for all to sit at, but a bit on the wobbly side so have to be careful sitting at it. The chairs that go with it, 2 are ok, but the others are not suitable for anyone over a 120lbs. They are very unsturdy. The couch in the living room is very small and hard. Only 2 people can sit on it. The wifi never worked so we just didnt use it. Overall besides the small things I listed, it was a nice cabin. We did enjoy it very much. Well worth it!

Difficult to find (even with GPS) after dark with no lights on and no floodlight on the address in a very rural area. Probably good in the summer but had no heat for a very cool fall night. Not my intent to work on getting a gas heater working while on vacation. Also, some concern with no venting with an inside gas heater.

An excellent vacation( however too short)

What a wonderful, lovely cabin. It was very relaxing. It was refreshing to be around all that nature. We walked with our dogs on the trails several times a day. They enjoyed playing in the water, as did I. The owner was wonderful, answered my questions and sent me all the information needed the day before our trip. My husband and I will be back, but for a longer time so we can hike Ricketts Glen and Worlds End.

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.

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!

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!

Serene get away.

Quaint and close to town location. 10 min at best to grab late night items, but secluded enough to take a deep relaxing breath. The fire pit and accent lights were a great touch. When the fire burns down, the stars were amazing. We noticed satellites moving and clusters of stars that you normally don’t notice from rural areas. Great find.

All in all it was fine. Served our purpose for a few nights. Please note that the ladder to the loft is just about vertical. My grandson was even a little scared of it and he's usually fearless! It wasn't too hot outside while we were there but it would have been nice to open windows instead of putting on the AC but the window screens were not in great shape, screen door did not fit tight so it was letting all the bugs in. My own home is in the woods so I know it is impossible to keep every flying, biting insect out but..there was no screen for the patio door either. We had to stay closed up and that was unfortunate. Overall though, our stay was okay!

Nice cozy cabin

The cabin was nice and secluded even with the house across the street. We didnt see anyone or hear anyone there so it didnt make a difference and being from NY City, its definitely secluded. The house had all the amenities we needed and it was next to a nice trail and stream for the pups. Will def be returning in the future
