For our first visit to Jim Thorpe we decided to spend the night and make it a mini vacation. I found this listing and the description was exactly what we wanted. I had been warned that parking can be challenging to find, and this little gem just happened to come with an assigned parking spot next to the house.
The apartment is located on the ground floor and was a perfect efficiency unit complete with unique artwork throughout. There is a large bathroom with a walk in shower. The soft towels, soap and included shampoo and conditioner were a plus. A comfy queen bed faces a wall of local artwork. Amethyst lamps and lighting between walls/rooms add a different look than what you’d get in a hotel.
The host provides an extensive list of places to visit and dine at including contact numbers, websites and hours of operation which was wonderful since we had no idea where to begin our visit.
Be prepared to do a bit of walking as that is a simple way to tour the town. It is “hilly” and if you’re up to an interesting walk start at the train station and walk up High Street to the apartment. From there you can see over the homes and buildings of the town. If you love 1800’s architecture you will be amazed at the buildings nestled right against the mountains.
We will definitely visit this quaint village again and recommend this host to our friends.

This is a well maintained and appointed property in the perfect location. It is one street above the “busy” main street that goes through Jim Thorpe, so you don’t have traffic fuss and noise. There is ample private green space and outdoor seating areas for your use. Parking is safe and secure, although if you are only in town a few days, there really is no need to use your vehicle at all if you are capable of walking. I’m 60+ with no mobility issues so walking the short distance to shops, restaurants, and entertainment was no issue. It was wonderful to observe the architecture while walking, but be aware that sidewalks in town are often narrow and uneven.
Communication with Jeffrey was extremely easy! He was accessible and answered inquiries almost instantly and gave so much information about activities, eateries, etc. so planning where to go was a breeze. Chad lived nearby and was available if you should need anything during your stay. He also had a wealth of information about the surrounding area and readily shared information with us.
The property was clean and spacious for me and my adult grandniece. The towels and linens were big, fluffy and smelled very nice:) The kitchen is set up with coffee, teas, sugar, and creamer. The full size fridge was clean and had welcome waters.
I would easily stay here again with my husband if I return to the area. It is a wonderful property in a great location and offers everything you need in a laid-back manner with peaceful vibes.

I was instantly pleased as soon as i walked in! The unit had a fun vibe, it was clean, free of odors, well taken care of and the availability of coffee and creamers was so helpful on the chilly mornings. I certainly plan to be returning back many of times!

If you want a clean place to stay, definitely consider this property. It is absolutely adorable and is all that is described. It's comfy and cozy, with just the right conveniences. The fenced-in outside area is perfect for morning coffee or evening drinks. We were absolutely delighted with the place. Not having to worry about packing linens or towels was a huge plus, too!
We planned on having all our lunches and dinners out, so when we first booked, I was concerned about walking downtown so many times, but I quickly learned what a delightful 5-minute stroll it was; and it afforded us the opportunity to chat with some of the hometown folk along the way.
If you visit Jim Thorpe, definitely make a stop at the Marion Hose Bar & Grill, Donerds Donuts, Ma's Crepes & Cakes, the Myst Hibachi & Sushi Pub, Molly Maquires, Nomad Distilling Co, and the Jim Thorpe Olive Oil Co.
I highly recommend this property and we hope to return in the future. Jeffrey and Chad are wonderful to deal with and are available to answer all your questions or to attend to any of your needs.

This is an amazing place to stay in Jim Thorpe. Communication is great and the check in/ check out process is so simple and smooth. The location is perfect. The unit was extremely clean and filled with an array of artwork that truly made it feel like you were dropping in to an artist's studio. The private outdoor patio was a perfect spot to lounge after dinner. I can't say enough great things about this place! We will be back.

Our stay at the Guest House was everything we hoped it would be. The spacious accommodations welcomed two adults and our two dogs. Everything we needed was provided.
Our favorite part was the accessibility to all the charismatic shops and tasteful restaurants. Morning walks to donuts and an afternoon stroll down the streets was in perfect walking distance.
We were provided exceptional service and the best recommendations on where to eat, historical sites and trails!
We took our bikes and there were plenty of places for us to safely store our bikes.
We enjoyed spending a mid afternoon on the private trail and overlook.
I’ve already recommended Jim Thorpe and the Guest House to our family and friends and encourage anyone and everyone to visit and stay!

My husband, myself, and our pup had a delightful stay in art studio apartment. The attention to detail in the decor was impressive, creating a charming and inviting atmosphere. The apartment itself was comfortable and provided everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. One of the highlights was the lovely outdoor patio where we could unwind and enjoy the fresh air. Jeff and Chad were incredibly responsive and made the communication seamless. The location was ideal, within walking distance to restaurants and shops. We thoroughly enjoyed exploring this picturesque town, the local hiking trails, charming shops, and eclectic restaurants. We can’t wait to come back!

Everything in Apartment B was comfortable, clean and fun! The location is right in town so the majority of town is easily accessed by walking. I loved being able to have a reserved parking spot in Jim Thorpe and be able to get anywhere I wanted. I plan on always staying at the High Street apartments when we go back! Definitely stay here!

My wife and I had a great stay in Jim Thorpe at this cute lil Studio Apt. It's perfect for a couple staying a few nights. Super clean, has all of the necessities for your stay, quiet, affordable, has parking, and it's a short romantic walk from the shops in town. You can't ask for much more in JT. Jeff was great to work with. We'll be back for sure!!

Loved our stay! Very dog friendly and soooooo clean! Bed and furniture were very comfortable and host responded promptly and allowed us to check in as soon as we (my pups and myself) arrived. If there is a negative it’s that you can hear when the people in the upstairs appartment are walking around or using the restroom. So just keep that in mind if you sleep lightly or it might bother your pups. Would definitely recommend!

The perfect spot!
We stayed here to enjoy a long weekend at Jim Thorpe. There was constant communication with the owner Jeff. He was so warm and friendly! Our place was ready early and we could check in. Very, very clean! Many items were provided and it was so convenient. The location was just tucked behind Broadway and it was a perfect small walk to all the shops and restaurants. We enjoyed the town, hiking, white water rafting, and biking and D&L - and the scenic train ride! We enjoyed it so much that the day we left we booked another stay to enjoy this town at Christmas. You will not regret staying with this owner - he is wonderful!

This is the best we've ever stayed in! Clean. Spacious. Fun. Comfy. Convenient. Welcoming. Great location in the heart of JT and the host was so accommodating and helpful! I can't say enough. We will recommend Apt B to anyone we know coming to the area! Thanks for making the last night of our 15 yr anniversary trip truly memorable! 10⭐️

Wonderful Experience
I highly recommend this studio! The location is great, and you can’t beat the reserved parking; without reserved parking, you would have to pay for parking downtown. Additionally, the studio was spotless and very inviting. We enjoyed all of the displayed art and the unique LED crystal lights. The innkeeper was very friendly, and the owner responded immediately to any questions I had. I highly recommend this place!

Third time staying in High St Guesthouse, first time in unit B. As always very clean with quirky decorating. Easy walk to train station and restaurants. Make sure you use the outdoor areas that Chad has created. No better place to stay in Jim Thorpe.

Perfect studio apartment
Everything about this studio apartment was exquisite. Perfect in every way. So comfy. Bringing my pups on my weekend getaway topped it off. Jeffrey the host was always available to answer questions and meet you in person. Location was perfect too. Easy walking to all downtown activities. Close to Mauch Chunk Lake too. I will be visiting again and thanks for my perfect home away from home for the weekend.
