A vacation club we belong to offered this location as an option (Feb 2023) for a very good price. I…read moreknew absolutely nothing about this spot, so here are a few things I learned: Check-in: This is a gated community. People live here year round as well as 'vacation rentals'. The rental office is before the security gate, down a short road on your right. They will give you a packet of information and 'should' give you a pass to show the security guards. We did not get one, so security made us a temporary pass. Be sure to ask at the office for your security pass. VERY important to note, you can ONLY enter at the main gate. The rentals are closer to the back entrance which is not manned. Don't let GPS take you that way! Use the rental office address, (1372 Old State Hwy 255) then reroute to the townhouse once you are nearby. Accommodations: The townhouses are fifteen minutes away from the main entrance. The office did not give us an address to enter into GPS and use a very poor map to explain how to get to your accommodation. We found GPS did have the rental units listed. Save yourself a headache, look up your unit in GPS. The townhouse is an open floorplan kitchen/dining/living room, 3/4 bath, and utility closet on lower level. A deck runs across the back and over looks a golf course. The kitchen has plates, bowls, wine gasses, water glasses, a few pans, cooking utensils, a cutting board and knife. So basically enough items to prepare and eat a simple meal. You have to bring containers for left overs, cling wrap, and other 'specific' cooking items. Besides the stove and fridge, there is a dish washer, microwave, coffee pot and toaster available. Housekeeping is not offered daily. Dish detergent, dish rag, paper towels, dish towel and trash bags are available on the counter when you arrive. The sofa is a sleeper; pillows and blankets are in the utility closet, ask at reception for sheets or call ahead. The water heater may need to be turned on if the unit has been empty for a while. A vacuum, iron and board are also in this closet. The stairs are steep and narrow. Think about this when packing big, heavy luggage. Two bedrooms, one with a King size bed, one with two doubles, and a full bath are upstairs. One pillow per person. An upper deck is accessible from both bedrooms. There are NO hangers or hooks in any of the closets. Both bathrooms have many tiny bar soaps and toilet paper. The bathrooms and kitchen were clean. The living room furniture looked newer as did the flooring on the lower level. The curtains, bed spreads and carpets upstairs are older. The curtains are quite heavy and did a good job keeping the cold out. Downstairs windows have wooden blinds. You have control of the heat in your unit. We had plenty of hot water for the two of us. The unit sleeps up to eight with the sofa bed, although there is only seating for six at the table and in the living room. There were a few pieces of plastic deck furniture between the upper and lower decks. Park in front of your unit in a 'turn around' driveway shared with the neighbor unit. Services: On the coffee table is a binder full of information. Besides emergency services, phone numbers of housekeeping, reception and other services in the community are listed. Many recreational services are available summer only, so no pool swimming in winter. The office staff were friendly and helpful. We called housekeeping for additional towels and they drop off what we needed to get us through our week's stay. NOTE: they have limited business hours - Read the binder for information. The binder also includes information needed when you arrive at the property, renter responsibilities during the stay and check out procedures such as stripping the beds, taking out the trash and so on. Read that binder. In summer there are ponds on the property for swimming as well as a recreation center, golf course and activities. Contact the office for information on using these services, costs, availability and so on. There is a gas station, convenience store and gift shop open year round on the main road leading from the main gate. Location: Dubois is about thirty minutes from Punxsutawney, two hours from Pittsburgh, just over an hour from the Jimmy Stewart Museum, three quarter of an hour to the Elk Country Visitor Center where you can see and learn about elk herds in PA. Historic downtown Dubois has a variety of businesses including a day spa, Hockman Candy (PA famous chocolate shop) Luigi's Ristorante, Aegis Coffee Roasters, Scotty's donuts and the Dubois Historical Society to name a few. Due to fire, these are the oldest surviving buildings in the area and are in a designated historical district. A newer section of town includes lots of businesses like Red Lobster, Walmart, bowling, a small mall and movie theater. There is much more information needed if staying in summer and I definitely recommend you call for details. Hope my winter visit information helps.

We ended up here by accident; we are driving cross country and decided we didn't want to drive all the way to Scranton. I used a dog friendly app, and they have lodges that accept dogs for a $10 fee. Lodge has a whirlpool bathtub as well as a shower, bunk beds built into the wall, comfy couch, stocked with snacks for sale for $1, and a bedroom with a queen bed. They serve breakfast but we were leaving too early to enjoy it. Seriously tempted to drive back to pick it up lol. The owners stayed up to receive us since we came in late, and it was very appreciated. Dog friendly and pointed out areas he could walk around. I definitely want to make a trip back! The price is also a great deal.

I was referred to stay at the Inn at Narrows Creek by a local realtor at Remax, Tina Fischer. Great…read morerealtor and great advice! The home was built in 1989 with efficiencies for a bed and breakfast and does not disappoint! Set back and located off of Bee Line Highway next to the Treasure Lake entrance provides ample accessibility to and from Dubois and the surrounding areas of Clearfield and Jefferson county. The entrance to the Inn is very welcoming and inviting with lamppost lines of light guiding you to a cute little narrow creek run along the left of the property. The grounds are well kept and fun to admire. The Inn is large and cozy. The suites are great accomodation for a couple or individual and they do have a larger suite for small families. Ample parking available and relaxation abound. The roommate rates are very affordable for all travelers and I have to say the breakfast is quite tasty! impeccable service and attention to detail. I will be staying here again.

We stayed in the Whitetail Lodge. It has a master bedroom, bathroom, and loft. Bathroom has a…read moretub/shower, sink & toilet. My son fell in love with the loft area. There was a small couch, tv, and the 2nd bed (full size). The steps to the loft are quite steep. We didn't let the two kiddos under 5 on them. The cabin is fully furnished. All the linens, and towels were there. Plenty of pillows & blankets as well. There is an outside fire pit with tables and chairs. You can purchase wood there for $7 a bundle. The grounds have shower houses, a swing set, a kennel fence to contain pets, lodge cabins, and overnight cabins. The lodge owners, John & Liz, are super nice. They were on the grounds daily to repair things and clean. They stopped by once to let us know Elk were up on the main lodge's yard. We saw a good many elk in the area, none near our cabin tho. We were told there are a few family of bear living around the cabins. We didn't see them. However, you could find random pieces of garbage with claw & teeth marks, and the dumpster has obvious bear damage. There is no cell phone reception anywhere on the camp grounds, and there is no wifi in the cabins. There is wifi at the main lodge, you just have to ask for the password. The nearest cell reception is roughly a 1.5 miles up the road from the camp. Its only a few bars, however. There was a motion sensor light on the one shower house that was directly across from our cabin. It would detect out movement when we were at our firepit. It also would detect every movement from the firepit of the trout lodge. It was nice for loading & unloading the car at night, but was annoying while having our campfire. There are a few signs posted around camp that say to call John & Liz if you need anything. Only problem is, no phones. They should install one in each cabin for emergencies, even if they only connect to the main lodge. The camp had everything we needed. We really enjoyed our stay. If we are back in the area, we will stay again.

It had a roll out table to eat on that was very convenient! The bathroom was tight, but clean and doable - lots of hot water and great shower pressure. The rates were very reasonable and the workers were pleasant to deal with. We'd definitely stay there again. We also ate at the on-site restaurant. The food was delicious! We had stuffed mushroom appetizers, with Italian gravy (not sauce!). So yummy! We also had bruschetta and they were excellent too. The entrees we had were cheese raviolis, cheese burger, Caesar salad with fried chicken strips. All were excellent too. We also had Penn State Creamery ice cream.

When you first walk in, the atmosphere is just perfect and you just want to walk around and look at all of the beautiful and interesting artwork (and the pastry case!). The menu items for July/August are so enticing that it's almost impossible to pick but we ended up getting the tomato tart (one of our favorite bites of the night), the zucchini fritters and caprese gnocchi soup to start. For our main course we selected the lemon ricotta pasta, the chimichurri steak tips and the sea bass skewers (you don't see sea bass on menus often and this one shouldn't be missed- it's incredible) . We were all so happy with all of our delicious meals (I even took bread to get every bite on my sea bass entree). We were shocked when we saw our check- surely they had missed an item or two- it was such a low price. What a bargain. I'm not a great photographer but enjoy some pictures from our evening.

The other review comparing this thin blob of frozen, fatty protein to "swanky restaurants" was laughable. The best thing at the entire table were the battered french fries.

The "sauteed mushrooms" were right out of the water-packed can. My god.
