PLEASE, if bringing a pet, email me first**In an 1850's Victorian home with brilliant pine floors--welcome to my bright spacious newly renovated 1 Bedroom (3rd floor) apartment with complete kitchen and everything you need to enjoy your time in Jim Thorpe. Centrally located to Opera House, downtown Jim Thorpe--wonderful restaurants and museums.
New comfortable sleeper sofa in living room so the apartment can accommodate up to 4 guests. Please note you must access the bathroom through the master bedroom.
I am Laura—a ‘youngish’ woman with a mini schnauzer named Copine (this means 'girlfriend in French) who has recently purchased this 3-family building near the center of where everything happens in Jim Thorpe.

As I love Amsterdam—I immediately fell in love with the historic buildings and, of course, the extraordinary bike riding trails that Jim Thorpe offers to visitors. Having lived in NYC/Manhattan for over -30 years, I view Jim Thorpe as a bit like the lofts of Soho as well as a much needed place to decompress, unwind and relax from the hectic (yet exciting) life of the big city.

We now have a garage nearby to safely store bicycles. This must be reserved prior to arrival.

Dogs are permitted ONLY with prior approval and a nominal additional pet fee.

All of our available apartments have been mindfully, carefully and thoughtfully furnished as we view them as our homes as well.

For example—the kitchen has all the amenities needed for most wannabe chefs. We have nice pots, pans, cutting knives, food processor, crock pot as well as many spices and condiments. Our linens and towels are the highest quality to assure a feeling of luxury. The bathroom is newly renovated with a wonderful tub and lots of hot water.

Recently, we have focused on our backyard and created a hand designed brick paved 2-terrace oasis of relaxation, outdoor dining plus an extraordinary gas barbeque, attached charcoal bar-be-que. plus a warming plate. We love having our morning coffee outside, relaxing to read a book and then grill some organic steaks from a local butcher and some yummy vegetables from the farmer’s market.

On rainy days—we enjoy binge watching on our HD TV and recently finished Succession. We offer HBO-GO, Netflix, Amazon Prime and Hulu. Internet and wifi options are limited in Jim Thorpe but we have opted to purchase wifi-extenders through-out the building so the majority of the time we can use our technology whether in the basement or in the backyard.

We love bike riding and going to the Mauch-Chunk Lake so much that we have not yet explored all the amazing museums and art galleries—the majority which are within walking distance. Our favorite local activity is the incredible music and acoustics offered at the Jim Thorpe Opera House which is just diagonal from our building. The music they offer are a wide variety and everything we have gone to has been great. Also, nearby is Penn’s Peak. They offer a larger music venue with terrific headlining bands.

In the basement we provide a Samsung washer and dryer which you are welcome to use. Of course, we appreciate our guests being mindful about the use of water for the machine and use the appropriate washer setting. Do NOT bring outside additional laundry or pet bedding.

Guests will have their own private apartment which requires walking up 2 flights of stairs. While we have 2 other apartments--we often do not even hear or see the other guests.

In Jim Thorpe most folks are outside enjoying the nature, museums or dining establishments.

We use a keyless entry and provide a code for the lock box on the door of the apartment.

The stairs, halls and basement are shared common area's. Your apartment is a private smoke-free environment.

We include one reserved parking spot in a nearby lot. An additional spot may be available for additional fee. There is ZERO on street parking near the house-it is permit parking only and you will be ticketed. However, you can double park briefly with your hazard lights to load and unload your car.
