The Bitter Goose Lodge

05/29/2025

After 25 wonderful years, we’ve made the bittersweet decision to retire. It’s been an incredible journey running The Bitter Goose Lodge, and we’re so grateful for the memories, friendships, and support we've received from our guests over the years.

We’re happy to share that the property is now under new management, and all current reservations will be honored. For any questions or concerns, please contact 717-340-2231 or [email protected].

Thank you for being part of our story — we’ll cherish it always!
