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 queen, 1 full, 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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Out amongst the stars
We loved everything about this home, except for the spotty internet, but that is to be expected in the mountains! We had booked this to observe the meteor shower and to do some hiking. It was perfect for observing the night sky. We so appreciated the comfort of this home. It was immaculate with all the comforts of home. We only stayed two nights, wish it could have been longer. The directions to get there were clear, we had no issues. The instructions/house rules were also easy to understand and follow. I could go on but I will just say we had a great time and would love to book again.
