Kathleen and Terry currently reside at a beautiful tree farm in Sweet Valley, PA. They met on a hike at Ricketts Glen State Park and have been sharing their passion for the outdoors ever since. They bought Fishing Creek Lodge in hopes of creating a place of solace for guests needing a temporary escape from this fast-paced world. They’ve been working hard at updating the lodge in order to make it as beautiful and relaxing as possible. They welcome all feedback from guests and have big plans for the future.
