Home from home

A great home from home experience. The parking space meant we could leave our car and walk everywhere which is especially coveted at the weekend. A very comfortable main bedroom bed and comfy sofas downstairs. Also appreciated the easy check out.

Great place to stay!

We loved the location, cleanliness, and comfort! If only the weather was better and we could have enjoyed the decks it would have been perfect. It was a short walk to the stores, restaurants, and train. We would definitely stay again.

JP in the rain

It was a wonderful stay. I wish we knew a lot of the stores and other activities were only open Thursday Friday and Saturday. We made due. We were disappointed with the fact that not many of the homes along Main Street had declarations. But live and learn. The stay was nice. Loved the living room with the gas fireplace. Took the chill off immediately! Steve you should allow access to the basement… I know it’s not a good idea but I would have loved to see what it looked like!!! Weather permitting we would haves to stay outside too… it looked really cool and there was a deer in your backyard on Tuesday. Also and this is not something that we are critical about but the sink in kitchen would have been better centered in the window. Thanks for the stay.

Quick getaway for Family

Very easy directions to property. The host was great, he left detailed instructions for us and provided links to local site seeing and eateries, there was also information pamphlets at the property. Comfortable beds and furniture throughout the house. Very beautiful wooden floors and a scenic backyard that led up to a mountain, town view. The home was warm, plenty of hot water. Old home appeal. Large kitchen, all items on hand to cook meals. There was some old food left in fridge and cabinets. Coffee maker was old, but still brewed a nice hot pot. One bathroom for guests on 2nd level. TV only located downstairs in living room, it provided AppleTV. Very comfortable couches and cool looking gas fireplace, and artwork by the host. Windows do not open in property. Location was perfect, the walks to downtown was lovely. You see all the beautiful homes, pubs and shops. We went on Thanksgiving week, so lots of places were closed for 2 days. There is jazz in area, tasting rooms, trains and trollies for tours. I would recommend this host and his home. Very nice experience for my family.

Jim Thorpe vacation

Before going our host asked if we had any questions and helped us with two we had. Our home was cozy and enviting. We enjoyed the backyard deck with a view, and the home like atmosphere. It was peaceful and quiet at night too. It was a little from town then we thought and so we drove to town instead. I guess walking is an option for younger people. The outside has two decks placed high up staircases at different heights. Very enjoyable and relaxing. We would definitely stay here again if we return to the area.

Mini Vacation

This was the perfect place for my friend and myself. I would highly recommend this property for a small group 2-4. The Things we liked most: We really appreciated the outdoor seating options. There were 4 options. We really liked the outback area at the top of the stairs. Furniture was clean and comfortable. We were up high and could enjoy the beautiful view. Parking spot and nearness to downtown Jim Thorpe. We parked our car and walked into town everyday. It was a nice walk - about a half mile. The host was very helpful and communicated all the information we needed to know ahead of time. I called him one time to ask a question and he called me back immediately. This should have been number 1. The beds were very comfortable. I've stayed at several VRBO and sometimes the beds are not comfortable. If I return to Jim Thorpe, I would try to rent this home again.

Weekend getaway

Loved the house and multiple outside seating areas. Well within walking distance to downtown Jim Thorpe for shopping and dining. The house had everything you would need for your visit. Linens, extra blankets, all appliances, WiFi, menus and brochures to help you decide what to do if you were unsure. Perhaps one of the best amenities was the off street parking for your vehicle! Super relaxing atmosphere. We will definitely be returning.
