I stayed at the Glen Onoko Guesthouse for a long weekend and it was perfect! The house was so clean and well appointed. We like to cook and the kitchen had everything we could have needed.
While we probably could have walked downtown, we drove and Dee provided a tip of where to park for free.
Thanks Dee for opening your beautiful home. We hope to come back!

It was a beautiful location, so close to the attractions of Jim Thorpe. Our host Dee was so great, she was quick with communication, and went above and beyond. So sweet we highly recommend this home for a comfortable stay.

My wife and I enjoyed a three-night stay, and you enjoyed it a lot.
Dee was very friendly and flexible, and our unit came with a notebook full of things to do in the area. She also responded right away when we found a small problem in one of the bathrooms, which was quickly fixed.
The unit has four bedrooms, so it was a bit large for us, but we would not hesitate to stay there again, and perhaps bring our grandchildren the next time.

Everything was as described. Very conferrable and clean. Will rent again if we go back to Jim Thorpe.

Just stayed here for only two days and wish I had made it longer. I have to say the Owners were the absolute BEST. Dee and her husband Mark are always available if needed. Their response is fast and they are very accommodating.
I would love to also say how CLEAN the rental is!!! Never have I stayed at a place where I didn't wish I had brought my disinfecting wipes. No need here you will see how clean it is.
There is tons of literature in the home for you to view if you are undecided on what to do. Directions are left on how to use the TV, the coffee bar has a choice whether you want to brew a pot of coffee or use a K-cup. syrup for flavoring, and flavored creamers. There are more than enough extra pillows and blankets, a closet full of board games as well as in the table in the living room. There is also a washer and dryer, the bathrooms has plenty of hand soap, body wash, and toilet paper, lol the good kind, the bath towels are nice and fluffy, not the flimsy cheap kind and there was more than enough for the 3 of us.
I would definitely recommend staying here. We will be back. Need to spend more time at the beautiful state park nearby.
Thank you Dee and Mark!!

3 night stay. Lovely house, thoughtfully furnished and decorated. My own house is 120 yrs old, so it's my style. *Clean! Comfortable. Quiet. In the front bedroom, you hear some morning street traffic. Our kids, 9 and 11, were with us so we made use of Pandora and the board games. Each review varies whether or not you can walk to the town center and how long it takes. Yes, you can walk over the bridge (pedestrian walkway on the left). It took us 20-something minutes each way, not hurrying. I walk double that every day. So if that much walking is inconceivable to you personally, then you might say it's too far. No regrets not staying right in town. It's very pretty and quaint, but little more than the usual touristy shops. Most places to eat are pubs/taverns, but we had a truly excellent meal at Moya, in town. Closer to the house, Union Publick House (also a bar) is a 10 minute walk and the food was very good. Kitchen is well-stocked, but I don't go on vacation to cook/clean. For breakfast nearby, we went to East Mauch Chunk Eatery and Bob's, both good, very friendly. If you google, you won't find many more food choices anyway, either near the house or in the town center. Decent bagel cafe, Perch, a short drive away, too. Dee left us a sample of cookies from 3 Kids Bakery, but they were closed during our stay. FYI, many shops and eateries are closed Tue, Wed. Lehigh Gorge is a short drive away. Many state parks, nature, hiking trails nearby. We enjoyed Beltzville, Hickory Run.

We enjoyed our stay in this lovely guesthouse. The property is very clean and just as described. Living room and kitchen are spacious, and the unit is tastefully decorated to feel cozy and welcoming. The guesthouse is located within walking distance of town and a short bike ride to the Glen Onoko access point of the D&L rail trail path. The host was responsive and answered any questions we had. A lovely place to stay!

I can't say enough good things about this place; it's amazing. It was very clean and there wasn't a thing we needed that wasn't supplied. The beds were beyond comfortable. The house is in a safe environment and we were able to walk into town. The hosts were helpful and friendly. Thanks for a great stay.

We were three adult couples, ranging in age from 25 to 65. We all felt comfortable, safe, and happy in the beautiful apartment, and thoroughly enjoyed our active vacation. Easy distance to good restaurants and diners, as well as white water rafting, hiking, and sightseeing. What a comfort to have such a pleasant home base!

We LOVED this house. Best supplied kitchen ever! We did most of our meals in the house and never came across something we needed that wasn’t there. Our kids (22 and 23 years old) could wander around historic Jim Thorpe at night and checkout the bars and then walk home. Very close to a great grocery store (Jim Thorpe Market).
The unit had great layout, space, and privacy as well as wonderful spacious common areas. Beds were really comfortable and I loved the towels. :)
We would love to come back!

Would absolutely stay here again if we visit Jim Thorpe. The house is just outside the busy area. Close to everything but would drive during the winter months. The house is super cozy has everything you need for a comfortable stay . Dee the host responds very quickly to any questions and provided plenty of suggestions for restaurants and activities. The Christmas tree was a nice touch. Thanks again Dee for providing such a clean and well appointed property to stay.

In Jim Thorpe for a short visit. Can't say enough nice things about the guesthouse, so clean and tidy and well appointed. You can tell the owners take pride in their property. Everything was just lovely. Hope to return soon.

Enjoyable Stay
The property has very spacious rooms, particularly the living room and kitchen. Spotless. We had one issue and the owner was extremely responsive and came over within 5 minutes to fix it. Owner offered helpful suggestions on touring the town and making restaurant recommendations. You do need to use a car to get into the center of town.

Ms. Dee and Mark do a wonderful job communicating about the property and area leading up to the stay. The house itself is a gem. The location is fantastic. When you stay here you will see how dedicated the owners are to make sure you are comfortable and welcome. They go a little above and beyond with all the details, welcoming gifts, hospitality and cleanliness of the property. I can't wait to come back!

Beautiful, spacious, convenient home
Thank you, Dee, for sharing your beautiful home. It was perfect. There were four of us who came to Jim Thorpe for a weekend to ride the Lehigh Gorge Rail Trail and enjoy the restaurants, and your home was the perfect base. It was clean, convenient and comfortable, and the kitchen was so well stocked. Your communications were outstanding. The home isn't right in downtown Jim Thorpe, but across the long bridge, so it's a 20-minute walk to Jim Thorpe and a five-minute drive. We would definitely stay here again.

Great stay in Jim Thorpe.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. There is a lot of living space, including a large living room and a good-sized kitchen. The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked, and the towels were fluffy. There were also several personal touches, including specialty soaps that were unexpected and extra-special. Check in and check out were very easy.

Wonderful stay
Dee provided a wonderful experience! Her place was just as advertised. We appreciated all of the little touches like the nice fluffy towels, shampoo, coffee, fans and sheets. The middle bedroom upstairs was not used. The bed was a little harder and it had a smoke smell in the room. The temperature outside was really hot during our stay & the house was nice and cool. There was plenty of room for parking and we were not too far from the town. We would definitely stay here again!

Lots of room to spread out
The home was spotless and the kitchen was completely stocked with everything you could imagine. Dee was really helpful with great restaurants and fishing spots. Its a bit of a hike to the actual tourist section of Jim Thorpe but doable. Looking forward to coming back.

We had stayed at this guesthouse before and thought it was clean and easy to access. Dee answers messages promptly. We were in the area so book this place again! Great location and cute place!

The Best
The property was wonderful and a short drive to downtown Jim Thorpe. We walked it in 15 minutes which is the time it takes most to pay and park their car. You immediately see the charm in the place and everything you need is there to cook whatever you want. They even called us to see if we wanted to check in early. Hike the Shades of Death trail in Hickory Run. Best trail ever.
