Such a cozy cottage

We love this property because it’s so central to all we love to do. It’s half an hour to two different state parks, and close to town so gas, groceries, etc, are nearby. There’s always deer on the property, and it’s quiet. The owners are always helpful, too.

Weekend Getaway

My husband and I enjoyed a weekend getaway and this house and location were perfect for our little trip. This house is very clean and wonderfully taken care of. It is well thought out as far as your needs. A home away from home. This is the second time we have stayed here. We will definitely come back in the future.

Wonderful stay

Hosts and house are great. Beds are comfy, kitchen is well stocked with everything you need. There is a large wonderful yard with a fire pit and great big decks in the front and back of house. They have another property nearby that is super nice too. Very serene and peaceful area. We saw a mama deer and her fawn hanging right out on the lawn.

Pa vacation

Great place to stay, it has a big outside deck on three sides of the house, with a big sun room. Comfortable beds, everything we needed and more. Seen deer everyday, on a quiet road with very little traffic. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Weekend in the mountains

The rental was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. It was a beautiful setting, and despite the rainy weekend, we had a great time! Lots of memories made on our girl's trip! Thank you for a pleasant time at your property.

Cozy cottage

We’ve been here several times now and really enjoy the retreat. It’s back far enough from the beaten path to be quiet, although there seems to be a little more road traffic than last year, but that could be due to several new homes being built nearby. We always see deer on the property and there’s lots to do nearby. Always a fun getaway!

Weekend Getaway

This house is set out in a country setting with plenty of outdoor seating. Perfect place to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The house is just minutes away from downtown Dushore. The house is both cozy and spacious. It is clean and well maintained. It is close to a couple state parks where you can hike and enjoy the numerous waterfalls. We enjoyed our stay!

Excellent Vacation Experience!

John and Kay, We had a great time at the Retreat! Even nicer in person than pictures and description on the internet. Clean and comfortable. Just bring food. Quiet and secluded, yet only a few miles from Dushore and State parks. We look forward to returning next year!

Peaceful

The house and property were clean and welcoming. Our family appreciated the clear instructions for check-out and how to use the amenities. The owners were responsive to questions. The only thing I would change is to stay longer there. I live in a busy city, and this is a beautiful retreat. This area is very special to me. I have close family in the County. If you love nature and want to relax, book it.

Always a GREAT getaway!

I can't tell you how much my family need this trip and Kay and John made it perfect having this beautiful place available. This has been a crazy season for our family my daughter had just gone through brain surgery to have a tumor removed we all needed a getaway. Lusch Acres Retreat was just what was needed. There is everything you could need and so much to do and also comfortable enough to just relax and just be. Our family plans on making this a yearly trip.

It Was Perfect!!

John and Kay, we enjoyed our stay, you really have thought of everything for this place. This home has everything you'll need to spend a relaxing weekend away from it all. Very clean and comfortable (best sleep I've had in a while) and the fireplace was perfect during that rainy Friday night. I can't stop raving about the whole place, will definitely come back during the warmer months. Hope you enjoy the rum John, thank you both!

Cozy get away

Came with daughter and grandson. There was some snow still left so my grandson had a great time playing in it! We played ball in the front yard where the snow had melted. Took a walk down the road and had some cozy time reading and watching movies Nice place for a weekend getaway for us Would recommend and would stay there again without a doubt.

Perfect Anniversary trip!

Our stay was the PERFECT way to spend our wedding anniversary! We enjoyed the peace and quiet and took in the beauty of the surroundings! The accommodations were so warm, cozy and inviting -- John and Kay thought of absolutely everything to make us feel at home (or even better). Our toddler enjoyed exploring every nook and cranny of this beautiful home and the outdoors. We had the perfect spring weather and can't wait to come back to enjoy Dushore and its beauty in the other seasons! Thanks again for an amazing stay, definitely will recommend to all!

Clean, roomy quiet retreat

We found this loacation to be an excellant find. The available linens, towels and other essential needs were all a nice addition. Clean and roomy, house was well furnished. Everything was as described. Only problem was lack of working internet- but that was probably a good thing being on a vacation.

Wonderful!

Cozy house, with EVERYTHING you need (except food) and more. Location is great to do Eagles Mere, Dushore, Laporte, Forksville, Hillsgrove & Shunk whatever you choose. It is also great to do nothing but relax, grill, play yard games & enjoy the fire pit. Thanks John & Kay!!!

Good option to get away

Spacious house for up to 6, plenty of tables for eating : inside, sunroom, and outside deck (this is key since you don't want to eat out right now). Plenty of outdoor space and fire pit as well. ~1/2 hr from Ricketts Glen, and even closer to World's End State Parks. Lots of recommendations for things to do and food provided by the owners. Downsides are the AC units couldn't keep up in the >90 deg weather, and small kitchen (but included plenty of staples and prep/cook ware).

A true Retreat

Rented this house for a weekend. We want to own it! Everything was perfect. Sitting on the deck and watching the deer and bear made the weekend. Walking the road was safe. It's a good location for trips to the haystacks, World's End and Rickett's Glen State Park. Dushore has hand dipped ice cream, grocery stores, restaurants (220 House is amazing) and a small playground. We'll be back.
