Summer exploration and rest is waiting for you at Whispering Willows Farm
Whispering Willows Farm is waiting for you! When you are a guest at the Farm you have acres and acres of property available for your outdoor recreation, rest, and enjoyment of the property’s tranquility.
Come walk the Pond and Hemlock Creek Paths, breathe in the fresh air, create an Epicurean delight in the Kitchen, outdoor Grill or Fire Pit by the pond, enjoy the magnificent sunsets, take a dip in the pond, fish, recreate, rest and restore. Summer is a wonderful time to experience the Farm's dramatic forested walkways, the soft light of long summer days and the joy of walking the paths around the pond and hearing the gentle bubbling of the winding creek along the Norwegian Pine Trail.
Wrap up your day with a fire by the pond, (firewood is provided at no charge) or settle in with your favorite evening libation on the deck while watching wonderful sunsets reflect on the pond via the expansive westward views. Finally, at the end of the evening step outside on a clear night marvel at the thousands of twinkling stars. Sleep well through the night on our premium king and queen beds with individual AC in each room. Enjoy our 400sq. ft. 1st floor Master Bedroom with private bath and sitting area which provides easy access for persons with limited mobility and its own private views of the westward sunsets. The house laundry is spacious and adjacent to the Kitchen with easy access to the new washer and dryer and utility sink.
Whispering Willows Farm is just 25 minutes away from the Main Park Road entrance to Rickets Glenn State Park with its magnificent waterfalls, acres of preserved woodlands and the Loyalsock State Forest and state game land nearby. Ricketts Glen harbors Glens Natural Area, a National Natural Landmark. Take the Falls Trail and explore the Glens, which boast a series of wild, free-flowing waterfalls, each cascading through rock-strewn clefts in this ancient hillside. The 94-foot Ganoga Falls is the highest of 22 named waterfalls. Old growth timber and diverse wildlife add to the scenic area. Ricketts Glen State Park is one of the most scenic areas in Pennsylvania.
World’s End State Park surrounded by the Loyalsock State Forest, is a 780-acre park and offers visitors a multitude of recreational opportunities within a pristine environment. Its rugged natural beauty coursing through the heart of the Endless Mountains landscape provides many photography, mountain biking, kayaking, hiking and swimming adventures.
Worlds End State Park is in a narrow S-shaped valley of the Loyalsock Creek just south of Forksville, Sullivan County. Enjoy the 10 Must See Waterfalls and the Loyalsock Canyon Vista, reached via Mineral Spring and Cold Run roads, provides outstanding views, especially during fall foliage.
Overall, Sullivan County is noted for its beautiful scenery and wildlife, creating a perfect setting for many outdoor activities, such as hiking, fishing, hunting, canoeing, swimming, camping, and many civic events during all seasons. This is the perfect area for a get-away.
While in Sullivan County, take a moment to view three covered bridges, numerous scenic overlooks and museum in Laporte. Enjoy a visit to historic Eagles Mere and browse through the arts and crafts shops, or enjoy the exhilarating Toboggan Slide in the winter. Visit the small towns and villages, stop in at the general stores and visit with local folks, whom you will find very friendly and helpful.

Kast Pond is a perfect spot for fishing or a picnic. St Basil's Church, built by German immigrants, is a picturesque sight on the hill above the town. Founder's Day in August is a highlight of the summer. The outhouse races, keg races and a full day of events draw large crowds. There are several wineries within a 15-minute drive. Five miles from town, hikers can engage the Loyalsock Trail, part of the Appalachian Trail.

Beautiful view of the pond, was very relaxing to sit in front of the window and watch the sunset. Wonderful updated kitchen. Overall a great place to stay! The only thing we found a little tough to navigate was that since the fire pit is only a few feet from the pond and built into the hillside, it made it difficult to fit multiple people around it.

Our stay at Whispering Willows Farm was a very relaxing stay for our family. From walking around the scenic property, to fishing in the pond, my son spent many hours catching bass there. My wife took relaxing walks each morning around the property to start her day and I would just have my coffee by the window, overlooking the pond and beautiful scenery, doesn’t get much better than that. The property itself was huge, clean, modern kitchen, and stocked with amenities. The hosts really do take care of you, thank you for a great time and my family can’t wait for our next visit!

The property was even more beautiful than we imagined! Just sitting on the porch in the evenings listening to the wildlife gave us such a sense of peace and relaxation. The house itself was gorgeous and seemed to never end! The owner was very easy to reach and answered all of our questions. We hope to return in the future.

Blown Away
The pics and description do convey how perfect this property is for a mountain get away. This place is absolutely perfect for family/friends. Plenty of room for multiple families and located close enough to the town of Dushore. The kitchen is very big and comes with everything you need to prepare meals for a large(r) group. The sun sets over the pond every night and on a clear day you have a view for miles and miles of the valley. Check in was very easy the manager was always there to answer questions. We are already looking to book for next years July 4th vacation.

Girls Weekend
We enjoyed the property so much. The house is beautiful and very clean. We loved the kitchen. It was fully stocked with everything (including spices). There is much room for relaxing. It was great to sit in front of the windows, enjoy the view of the lake and mountains, and read a book. We were in close proximity to Ricketts Glen and was able to enjoy a couple of hikes enjoying all the beautiful waterfalls. We had lots of laughs and fun and relaxation.

We had a great time at the house! The property and The scenery was amazing! There were no neighbors, beautiful skies and you can hear all the birds and frogs singing away. The house has everything we needed. The pond wasn't huge, but good enough to jump in and swim. It's next to a state park that has boat rentals, hikes and beaches. Overall great experience.

We all are a group of photographers that enjoyed your property to the fullest. The Hemlock trail was gorgeous and inviting, as you enter the path you see all the beautiful colors of leaves and then you come across a stream of water. The sound of the water and the beautiful fall colors just put you in a tranquil state of mind. A lovely place. Thank you for the opportunity for opening your home for guest to enjoy.

Wonderful location for relaxation and family time
Our family of four really enjoyed our stay over the 4th of July weekend. We were here for 4 days and three nights and loved every minute of it. Location of house was isolated and it's easy to feel like you're the only family around. House has a lot of personality and charm, and was very clean. Our children, ages two and seven, had plenty to do. Porch overlooking the pond has a view of the sunset which made it a great spot to relax outside and visit with friends.

Trip to fairy tale
The house is wonderful. The extraordinary harmony of modernity and antiquity creates an amazing atmosphere of fairy tale.
The state-of-the-art kitchen is equipped with smart and functional equipment, perfectly combined with the exhibits of the past that are not ashamed to be displayed in a historical museum. But the point is that these are not exhibits, they are a fragment of this house, which were used by real people who lived in this house and made its history.
Nature around deserves separate words. Each element of the landscape so naturally flows into another, and all together they create a charming corner of nature that you can not get tired of watching.
Special thanks to Bob Jankowsky for his speed in solving minor problems and his communication skills, from the first minutes of staying in his house created a good mood for all the time staying at this wonderful house.
Thank you, Bob

Nature's Serenade at Whispering Willows Farm
Our family had an absolutely delightful time staying at Whispering Willows Farm! From the moment we arrived, it was clear we had chosen a special place for our retreat. The nearly two-century-old farmhouse radiates charm, surrounded by vast private acreage that beckons to be explored.
We spent hours sitting on the expansive porch, sipping hot cider and gazing out over the water, watching the wildlife. Deer, rabbits, and birds kept us company as we unwound from our busy lives.
The trails winding through the forests and streams were ideal for leisurely walks to enjoy the stunning natural scenery. One particular trail that captivated us was the Norwegian Pine Trail, an ode to the beauty that Sullivan County has to offer. The evenings at Whispering Willows were just as enchanting. Whether we were around a bonfire, roasting marshmallows under the starlit sky, or enjoying dinner al fresco with the picturesque sunset, every moment was memorable.
Inside, the farmhouse was a blend of comfort and history. The expansive living room, warmed by a pellet stove, was the perfect spot for family gatherings. Its numerous windows served as a constant reminder of the natural beauty surrounding us. The kitchen, truly an Epicurean delight, had everything we needed to make delicious meals, making our stay feel even more homey.
We couldn't have asked for a more perfect family vacation rental. Thank you for sharing your beautiful Whispering Willows Farm with us. We hope to return soon.
