Myself and three friends stayed here and it was the perfect space for a girls' getaway in Jim Thorpe. It's a short drive from the busy part of town and easy to park on the street in front of. We spent a lot of time in town, but while at the vrbo we cooked breakfast, used the TV to watch shows, and were comfortable hanging out.

Great place. Would go again. Close to Lehigh River activities and bike trails.

My family just visited Jim Thorpe, and we really enjoyed our stay in this VRBO. The location is super convenient. Historic Jim Thorpe is three minutes away, and there are plenty of cute restaurants and an ice cream shop right around the house. We spent a lot of time on the porch, and even could see all the way to fireworks on Broadway.
The house is just as pictured. We had every amenity we needed. Everything was super clean. Individual ACs in each room kept everybody comfortable. The beds were comfortable. Note: the shower in the hall bath is super weird! You have to pull down on the bath faucet to get the shower head to turn on. That puzzle took us a while to figure out :-) And the place is not super friendly to a toddler! It doesn’t suggest it is, so I guess no surprises there. But we had to be extra vigilant with our one year year old. Lots of glass tables, sharp edges, and pretty decorative pieces that can fall over. They do have a solid baby gate on the deck, though, so that was great for the kids and the dog.
And communication with the owners was very easy. I asked a few questions about check-in, and they got back to me right away. They even suggested we check out their other properties if we go back, which we will. They clearly know what they are doing.
And we enjoyed the special touches for their daughter, Josephine, who we learned lost her battle to childhood cancer in 2019. Their love for her is clear in these rentals. Highly recommend.

Happy with our stay, place was as advertised. Comfortable and great views. Snowed like crazy so more shoveling than anticipated also lots of shops/restaurants were closed. People/kids with pet allergies will need meds. Would recommend however. An instruction list for cleanup and do's and don'ts would have been helpful.

Great, little fun town to visit. Property was very well taken care of. It's a good walk downtown, but not bad, and Ubers were usually available. Cool neighborhood bar, good priced food just down the street if you want a more local experience on the east side of bridge. Nice stay all around, good property. Would recommend.

This house was clean and comfortable. The beds were comfortable and bedding was nice. Towels were good quality and very white and a generous supply was provided. Very spacious and accommodating for our dog. My family of four were here for the weekend to celebrate my daughter’s 14th birthday. When we walked in the door and the first thing we saw was the shrine on the fireplace mantle for their daughter who passed away from brain cancer in 2019, my daughter immediately burst into tears. Not to say that it wasn’t beautiful and touching but it was SO personal and devastatingly sad with large photos of Josephine, her childhood artwork, many burnt candles, prayer card and tribute from her class. My daughter who struggles with anxiety and depression could not spend much time in the main room of the house because it was so triggering for her. She sobbed and said “i was trying to have a nice getaway and forget all my problems and now this just makes it worse!”There is also a binder with about 20 pages detailing their daughter’s entire cancer journey including all the procedures and trauma she suffered and several pictures of her in the hospital which was very sad to read. We didn’t show this to my daughter, but my husband and I both sobbed reading it. We initially thought it was a Welcome binder with information for our stay. This is a very nice house with a very pretty view of the mountains and a five minute drive over the bridge into Jim Thorpe. If you are someone who would not be affected by the memorial described, then this house is great. My family was very touched by the tribute to Josephine but we also thought it was not appropriate for a rental property where people go to have a good time and sometimes to escape their own difficulties and sorrows. We felt it belonged in their own personal home. We have tremendous empathy for what this family went through and wish only peace and comfort to everyone affected by their tragic loss.

We enjoyed our weekend and would recommend this property to people who want a comfortable place to get away for a quiet weekend of hanging out and de-stressing. We felt it wasn't ideal for anyone hoping to really walk around the downtown of Jim Thorpe...unless they have tremendous patience to drive in circles hoping to luck into a parking space. (Weekday stays might be less crowded for tourists/parking.)
On the day of our arrival, but before we got there, we had a hitch in our plans and tried to reach the contact person provided in the welcome email. We left a detailed voicemail and detailed text message at the number provided and never heard back from the person, which surprised us. Fortunately, the hitch worked itself out without her assistance, but it left us wondering what our options would be if we had any issues during our stay. Lucky for us, we did not.
All in all we had a good experience and will assume the issue with communication was an unusual glitch. We recommend to others.

Very comfortable
This place was perfect for our quick trip to Jim Thorpe. My son loved the decor. Made him feel like he was in a log cabin. Beds were all very comfortable and nice amenities in the bathrooms. Owner was very quick and friendly in responding to any question that I had.

Mountain view
We have been to Jim Thorpe numerous times but have always stayed in the business district. The mountain view is much better in person than shown in photos. We spent a lot of time relaxing on the porch. Easy access to all the activities. We enjoyed exploring the neighborhood .

Great dog friendly rental in JT!
Great experience and we hope to be back again whenever we visit family in the area! Owner was very responsive, home was well equipped, clean and comfortable. Views from the porch were beautiful - just be sure to note entrance is on 2nd floor and stairs might be difficult for some with mobility issues.

Lovely Comfortable House
Was very happy with the house. Very comfortable for us and our dog. Nice fenced in yard. Great view out of the front window. The location was a little farther from the downtown area than we hoped and not really walkable with little kids, but it's a very short drive. Overall very good and would recommend.

Perfect house, in a perfect location.
This house was as perfect as could be. The property manager was always available if I had a question. We normally stay in the area of downtown Jim Thorpe but staying off the beaten path was amazing. The view was beyond beautiful, would definitely stay again. Thanks so much again!!

Nice place for you and your dog
This is a very nice home, make sure you're able to walk up a flight of stairs before booking! Driveway is a huge bonus, parking in town is limited. There's a decent dog run, and the decor is lovely. A few minor cleaning issues, but to be expected when they let you bring dogs!
