About this property

The Railroad Scale House: 40 private acres & creek

  • 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!

    Thanks
    -Kelby and Markie.

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!

This place is our paradise. It was our 3rd year coming here and we're already counting down the months until we return. It's so relaxing and peaceful. Have never had an issue with the property or the owners. I highly recommend this cabin.

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.

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.

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.

A nice place to serve as a local jump-off point

Its a quiet cozy cabin which is far enough into the woods to feel comfortably secluded while still being reasonably close to the town of Dushore along with other local destinations.

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

Not secluded

This cabin was beautiful, the grounds were beautiful, but false advertising saying its a secluded cabin, you sit on the deck and literally stare at the house across the street. I was really disappointed with this cabin, I booked this cabin with the intention of there being no one around but us, I wanted to get away from people and cars and noise.

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.
