Wilderness Lodge — Attraction in Venango Township

We spent 3 amazing days at the Wilderness Lodge, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. Nestled right in the middle of the forest, the lodge offers pure peace and silence — the perfect escape to connect with nature and spend quality time with family and friends. Every morning felt magical, surrounded by the fresh forest air and the soothing sounds of nature. The rooms were beautifully designed, combining comfort with rustic charm, and the large, fully equipped kitchen made cooking together a joy.

When we used the bathroom we found their personal toiletries in the medicine cabinet. We felt very unsafe and our privacy invaded. I attempted to contact the owner with my concerns but he has just...
