Squeeze-n-bang Lodge - Tionesta

Turtle Bay Lodge has exceeded our expectations in every way. Your real hospitality is through and through. Sincerely thanks to Jan Ray Kim Charles, Veterans Traveler Lake Forest County and Vanango County Archive pages to learn exciting history stories of colonial missionaries and locals.

This is the most cozy and cleanest place where I have ever stayed. It's honest as if I spent the night with your grandmother. I recommend staying here. Jan is just wonderful and funny. I can't wait to stay.

We wanted something different and away from the beaten path, while on a spontaneous ride through the great outdoors of PA. We were able to book the Roosevelt room last minute. Jan is the owner and over the top warm and friendly. She made us feel at home and welcome. It was like staying with the family. The lodge is clean, tons of space for families and guests. We sat at the edge of the river on the swing and took peace and tranquility. We slept like babies and were met with fresh coffee and a wonderful breakfast. We will certainly stay here again if you are looking for a quiet escape. Thank you, Jan.

A wonderful four-night stay! Jan Ray didn't miss a beat with her real hospitality. Our rooms and lodge amenities offer everything we need for a very comfortable stay. The location right on the Allegheny River is peaceful and great to observe wildlife... Birds, fish, bulls and turtles galore!

Turtle Bay Lodge is a beautiful and spacious lodge right on the Allegheny River in President, PA between Tionesta and Oil City. Owners Jan and Ray could not be nicer. The accommodations are first rate and entire lodge is kept immaculately clean. This is a great getaway to enjoy peace and quiet with local, nature, and outdoor activities: kayaking, hiking, fishing, walking, bird watching, hunting, and some historical attractions a short drive away. There's even a small art gallery in another home right down the road.
