About this property

A Comfortable Home with the Best Location in Downtown Jim Thorpe

This beautifully renovated, 200-year-old home has everything you'll need for your vacation, in all seasons. It features three very spacious bedrooms, two bathrooms, a full kitchen with a dining table for eight, washer/dryer, WiFi, board games, streaming movies and television, and a VCR with a broad selection of DVDs. We provide linens, towels, and other amenities.

The two-story rental sits above Local Fair, a boutique featuring local artisans on the historic main street in Jim Thorpe, and is a short walk from dozens of restaurants, shops, museums, bars, and art galleries. Take in a show at the Mauch Chunk Opera House or enjoy a leisurely meal at the Stone Row Pub & Eatery or Notch Eight Craft House, all just steps from our door. The house comes with up to three parking spaces—a true boon in the downtown area, where parking is scarce.

Jim Thorpe is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts. In the spring, summer, and fall, take advantage of the region's world-class mountain biking; pedal 25 miles of the D&L Trail along the Lehigh River (accessible by scenic railway); jump into a whitewater rafting expedition, timed to the area's dam releases; or hike the gorgeous Glen Onoko Falls Trail. During the winter, use 101 Broadway as a cozy base for the Blue Mountain and Jack Frost ski areas, which are both less than 30 minutes away.

We offer plenty of advice on ways to take advantage of this fabulous area. But please note that our home sits in the middle of the historic downtown and abuts our neighbors, so it would not be a good fit for groups aiming to use it as home base for a rowdy celebration. We prefer families and groups with six or fewer adults.

Fun at Jim Thorpe
This home is the perfect location for an overnight or more stay in Jim Thorpe. Very clean, free parking in town, interesting decor, and the best supplied VRBO we ever rented. There is so much to do in town and hiking trails everywhere. Yes, it is the best place to stay in Jim Thorpe.

Fabulous location
This home was perfect for our two night visit to Jim Thorpe. We walked everywhere except Pike's Peak concert venue which was an easy, short drive away. Beds were comfortable. Window AC units kept house very comfortable despite the hot weather. Thanks.

Girls Weekend/Sister's B-day
Property was incredible! Description was on point. House was immaculate. Hosts, Jenny & Tghe were friendly & accessible. Beds were comfy & there are plenty of extra blankets.The kitchen was so nice & well equipped to make a special birthday breakfast. The best though was having a parking spot so close to the property & the hosts allowed us to stay parked after we checked out to spend the day instead of going home.The girls & I really enjoyed ourselves & would recommend to anyone & it's really kid friendly too.We will be back again.

Jim Thorpe Stay in Town
We loved the location and had a wonderful time staying here. It was perfect for friends for a weekend and we sat on the back deck. All communication was super fast and the owners were very nice to deal with, even going above and beyond with outreaching to us. We hope to return and stay again in the future.

I had the opportunity to stay at this rental with both family as well as friends. It had a lot to offer our 10 month old and was very comfortable for us. We would love to come back if we ever stay in Jim Thorpe again! The location couldn't have been better.

Perfect Location
This house was perfect for our stay in Jim Thorpe during the last weekend of September. The house had ample room and bathrooms for our party of five adults. The parking spaces were a great perk. We parked and never needed our cars again. We walked everywhere. We had tickets for an evening performance at the Mauch Chunk Opera House which was practically across the street. The house was comfortable and quaint. The living room area was small, but we were busy the whole weekend and never needed to spread out to watch TV. I highly recommend this property and hope to stay there again.

A Great Space In An Excellent Location
This space was ideal for our family. It's clesn, there are plenty of beds and two full bathrooms.We didn't cook much but the kitchen is well-equipped. Instead we took advantage of the excellent location. Everything we wanted to see and do was a short walk. Park your car when you arrive and never drive it until you leave.

Walking distance to everything. House itself is spacious, clean, nicely equipped and decorated. In this town the three reserved parking spots are gold. I think the rental price is a bargain for what you get. We loved Moya right down Race St for dinner. The bagel place just outside of town on 209 was great for breakfast. Check out the view from Flagstaff.

Fabulous location in charming Jim Thorpe
This was our second stay and it was just as wonderful as we remembered it. The location makes it so easy to easily walk into the heart of town for the restaurants and shops. The unit is laid out in such a way as to allow for gathering around the table and living room . The bedrooms are comfortable and well equipped. The hosts are highly responsive. As the description states, this is not a good choice for those who cannot do steps but otherwise it seems about perfect. It was for us! We will definitely be back.
