Welcome to my rustic Lodge located just 4.3 miles from Ricketts Glen State Park, which is known for having over 22 beautiful waterfalls. We're nestled in between 50 thousand acres of the largest state game lands in Pennsylvania where there's even more waterfalls, plenty of hiking, fishing and kayaking. After a long day outdoors, you can relax out on the deck beside the fire pit, cozy up with Netflix, or just sit down by the bridge at Fishing Creek.

The space
The entire lodge is yours to enjoy! All four bedrooms are in close proximity to both one-person-at-a-time bathrooms with a privacy lock, just like in your own home.

The gorgeous, one-of-a-kind King bed in the "Fox Den" room is hand crafted with Red Cedar and gorgeous Black Walnut headboards.

The super cool, one-of-a-kind King bed in the "Bear Cave" room is hand crafted with stunning Sassafras.

The awesome, one-of-a-kind Queen bed in the "Racoon Crossing" room is hand crafted with stunning Sassafras.

And last, but not least, the beautiful, one-of-a-kind Full bed in the "Deer Crossing" room is hand crafted with beautiful Yellow Birch right from a local tree farm!

Guest access
Fishing Creek Lodge has a convenient, full-sized guest kitchen that comes stocked with food staples.

There’s a Netflix movie/game lounge downstairs, a fire pit and gas grill on the deck. You can also stroll down the side driveway to relax by the creek.

StudioWalk™ Pottery Studio, Painting Studio and Library are a part of Fishing Creek Lodge! Professional art supplies are available for a small donation, and there’s also a FREE drawer for kids with coloring books and other lower-end supplies. Please notify me when booking if you’re interested in trying out some pottery during your visit.

Other things to note
Although our WIFI is strong and good for Netflix and work meetings, the phone signal isn’t the best as we are tucked in the mountains. We do suggest looking some things up on your phone at home or over wifi before you head out of the lodge. There’s a grocery story a few miles away in the town of Benton, a restaurant near Ricketts Glen State Park, as well as a local favorite restaurant just a few blocks up from the lodge! Just let me know if you have any special requests.
