Great stay, great location

We needed a place to call home base while exploring Jim Thorpe and the Lehigh River Gorge. We also needed someplace quiet to work, just in case. This was a great choice for both. Walkable into town, or just a super short ride. Comfortable and all the needs for two people. Close to the rail trail, could walk the short-ish walk into Jim Thorpe town, either via the street or the rail trail. Close to hiking (we did bald mountain) and biking paths. We explored wineries and breweries and the many delish recommendation from our host. Dee and Mark were wonderful hosts. Can’t wait to return and explore more.

Last Minute One-Nighter

We decided last minute to visit Jim Thorpe for a quick getaway. I contacted the host the day before and Dee's responses were quick and I was able to book seamlessly. Great location. I mile into town which would have been a pretty easy walk, but it rained and we opted to use an Uber. Vintage Revival Retreat was absolutely stunning, clean and comfortable. We will definitely stay there again when visiting Jim Thorpe.

Perfect homebase for biking Lehigh Gorge RailTrail

We had made reservations to take the shuttle from town and bike on two days. Turns out we were an easy ride to town and back. On the ride home, we picked up a steak and fresh asparagus, a bottle of wine and enjoyed a lovely outdoor patio dinner, made on the nice new grill. All the details in this property are beyond all the VRBOs we’ve visited, down to the nightlight and the comfy bed. Dee even left out snacks for us to nibble. Thanks Dee. You’re a wonderful host!

Perfect accommodations a short (hilly) walk from town!

Dee thought of everything! The location was a short walk from Jim Thorpe, get those calves burning! Not too much to do in the immediate area of interest for us, but the accommodations were top-notch. Gorgeous inside with anything you may need at your fingertips. The host really thought of everything for you to enjoy your stay and went above and beyond when small inconveniences came our way. Communication was stellar when responding with questions or concerns. Excellent instructions and signage from beginning to end before, during, and after our stay. I love clear instructions! No guess work, just enjoy yourselves. We plan to go back in the fall!

We had a great weekend getaway and stay in this apartment.

The place was quaint and cozy. It had just about everything you would need. It was convenient to everything without being directly in the town. We only had a few small suggestions....there was no hot water in the bathroom sinks, no tv channels only netflix. We had to put the toaster on the floor to plug in to an outlet. But these were not major things and did not spoil our trip. We had a great time.

At our VRBO location, we have a personal connection to this town and its wonderful attributes. We share appreciation for the quiet atmoshere, stunning scenery, and the refreshing clean air that fills the area. It is a place that holds a special place in our hearts. For me, spending time in nature and taking walks in the woods is not just a pastime but a source of energy and relaxation. The natural beauty that surrounds this town is truly cativating, and we want our guests to experience the same sense of tranquility and rejuvenation. In a delightful twist of fate, I had the pleasure of meeting my husband, Mark, in this very town. During that time, Mark and his family owned and operated the Hotel Switzerland, which has now transformed into the renowned Molly Maquires Pub and Steakhouse. This connection adds an extra layer of significance to our VRBO location. We are delighted to share our love for this town with our guests and hope that you, too, will find solace in the quietude, breathtaking scenery, and the fresh air that this place has to offer. It is our sincere desire to provide you with a memorable and peaceful stay that reflects the essence of this remarkable town.

Why they chose this property

We chose this neighborhood for our VRBO location due to a personal and professional connection. My career in retail led me to discover the charm and potential of this mercantile building, which boasts a delightful storefront that instantly caught my attention.

Our vision was to transform it into a remarkable retreat that seamlessly combines history with modern amenities.

From the preservation of the building's character to the incorporation of energy-efficient features, we have worked tirelessly to create a space that exceeds expectations. Choosing this neighborhood was a natural choice for us, as we believe in the potential of this area and wanted to contribute to its revitalization. The result is a VRBO rental that not only offers a unique and captivating experience but also reflects our commitment to sustainable and thoughtful design. We invite you to be a part of this journey and experience the transformation firsthand at our VRBO location. Immerse yourself in the charm of the neighborhood, enjoy the comfort and efficiency of the renovated space, and create lasting memories in this vintage revival gem.

What makes this property unique

What makes our property, Glen Onoko Getaway, truly unique is its ability to serve as a private oasis for two, complete with convenient parking.
