Short visit to JT

Stayed here for a couple nights over the holidays for a small family get-together. This house was clean, well-located, and had all the amenities we needed. Off-street parking for two cars was included, which is very important in Jim Thorpe.This was our first visit to JT. It turned out to be a great little town to visit during this time of year. If you're planning a visit, I strongly recommend staying along Broadway on the west side of the river. You'll be able to easily walk to attractions and pop in and out with minimal fuss and no parking hassle. This particular house is conveniently located a short walk from both the tourist area (train, shopping, restaurants) and the Switchback trailhead (hiking), and right across from the old Jailhouse.

Nice stay for friends holiday getaway

House was very nice and plenty of room for 3 college friends. Walk to town was only 10 minutes which was great. Place was very clean and had the basics. Only recommendation is to update decor in and out of the house.

Perfect Location

I was so pleasantly greeted with a beautiful, clean home. No cookie cutter here! It's got so much character!!! We especially loved the fabric ceiling in the dining room!!!! There was nothing lacking in this place. It was located close enough to the shops & restaurants without being too close to the crowds. We literally parked our car & walked everywhere with no problem at all. Met the owners by chance and they were lovely people. Very responsive to any questions and seemed to be genuinely very nice people. Cannot recommend highly enough! Would 100% stay again.

Beautiful Fall Weekend

Wonderful walkable location close to downtown and just 15 min walk from the train station. The electric fireplace was especially welcome with the chilly weather and there is plenty of seating in the living room to enjoy a good visit. The host has left lots of helpful information for guests and check in process is very easy.

Family Reunion

We wanted to stay at a place near Mauch Chunk Lake Park where we hold our yearly family reunion. The park is a short drive from the house. The house suited our purposes. Having 2 full bathrooms is a real plus.

First time visit to Jim Thorpe

Property is in a great Location for walking down town- quiet section of town. Parking on premises was a huge plus as parking is very difficult and expensive in the area. The property is roomy, clean, and well maintained.

The location is perfect - steps away from the shops and restaurants but not too close to be bothered by traffic and noise. Denise was terrific in being proactive, offering information, and making sure we get there with no hiccups. Also very flexible throughout our stay. Highly recommended.

Upper town location, right by the old jail with easy parking, and very walkable downhill to the train station with lots of shops along the way. Clean home with three upstairs bedrooms. We had a wonderful time biking from white haven back to Jim Thorpe and touring some local wineries.
