Lusch Acres Retreat ...Unwind & Enjoy a Relaxing Vacation

Lusch Acres Retreat

This 2-story vacation home in the beautiful Endless Mts. is centrally located just 4 miles south of Dushore on what is known locally as 'Ringer Hill'. Part of the original 1850 homestead of Julius Lusch, this cozy home is privately situated on 6 acres and within a short drive of Worlds End State Park, Eagles Mere, the Loyalsock Trail (hiking to the Haystacks) and Ricketts Glen State Park. The area boasts great fishing in the big and little Loyalsock Creeks as well as some picturesque swimming holes in the big Loyalsock, countless hiking trails and just the simple beauty of nature which surrounds you wherever you go. This is truly a getaway meant for relaxing!

In the home you will find 3 bedrooms (1 King, 1 Queen, 2 twins) and 2 baths which allow plenty of room to accommodate 6 guests with all linens provided. (One bedrm & bath on first floor). The open floor plan of the living room & dining room features the warmth and ambience of a beautiful cast iron gas stove with 3-sided fire view, while the flat screen tv with satellite service & DVD player in the living room provides evening entertainment. The fully equipped kitchen offers a gas range, dishwasher, full size refrigerator, microwave, toaster and coffee maker. We provide a comprehensive selection of cooking spices & coffee for your stay. We also start you off with minimal complimentary paper products (napkins, paper towels & toilet paper) but recommend that you buy/bring extra for your stay at the Retreat. The entry mud room is large enough to store boots, coats and sporting equipment and has a washer & dryer for added convenience. There is also a sunny three-season room with comfortable seating as well as a table & chairs for games or meals. Relax on the decks at both the front and the back of the house or around the firepit in the spacious back yard. SMOKING AND PETS ARE NOT ALLOWED. Anyone disregarding these rules will be asked to leave AND will be charged a $200 cleaning fee. We ask that guests be courteous to the home owners and to other guests by abiding by these rules. We work hard to provide a comfortable, clean home for our guests to enjoy and ask that they, in return, be respectful of the property. Minimum age for all renters is 21 unless accompanied by a parent, and ID's are checked by the property owners. Check-in is after 4pm and Check-out is promptly at 11 a.m. In preparation of cleaning the house and getting it ready for the next guests, we have a checklist of minimal things to do before you leave (such as washing dishes, removing sheets from beds, etc.). Our cleaning fee assumes that these things will be done, but any renters who do not want to do them have the option of paying a higher cleaning fee.

Mid-week getaway

Lusch Acres Retreat is the perfect location for exploring Worlds End State Park and Richetts Glenn State Park. Bring your own food as the location is rich in nature but not necessarily restaurants. The house is clean and comfortable - no problems and NO regrets. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Awesome Place

We had a wonderful time visiting Ricketts Glen and World End State Parks, only 20 mins away. The house is exactly as described in the listing. Very clean!! Quiet setting in the mountains. The new charcoal grill was an excellent addition. We also enjoyed the mamma and baby deer that visited every day. Plenty of outdoor space to play yard games we brought with us. Will definitely stay again!

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.

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!

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.
