A Note From Your Host (The Owner):
Welcome to "The Amsterdam House," my three-family Victorian home in Jim Thorpe. I'm Laura, the owner, and I purchased this property—specifically the second-floor "NYC Suite"—as a retreat from New York City.
My love for the Netherlands inspired the name, and the apartment's urban feel reminds me of Soho lofts. Having lived in NYC for over 30 years, I find Jim Thorpe's charming, slower pace and historic architecture a perfect escape, echoing my passion for Amsterdam.
My mini schnauzer, Copine (French for 'girlfriend'), and I invite you to enjoy our home away from home!

Very clean and comfortable apartment right in the heart of Jim Thorpe. It was a perfect location to walk through town, explore the river trail, and enjoy the area. It met all our expectations and was perfect for our weekend getaway.

The Swiss Suite on Broadway was welcoming and cozy. The property was accurately described and nearby to the opera house, jail, dining, and shops- perfect for our girls’ weekend. We enjoyed our visit!
We loved the Halloween decorations!

Jim Thorpe was originally a “horse and buggy” town which means limited driveways as well as limited on street parking. Now the town has zoned/designated street parking for local residents only. My parking is, according to google maps, a 1-min. Drive/ .3 miles from the lodging (not .5 miles). This guest was provided an additional parking pass which is also a rare amenity in Jim Thorpe. Having a place to safely park your car and walk almost everywhere in Jim Thorpe—that is what is most requested with me listing. Location, spacious and clean + parking.

We stayed for the weekend to enjoy Jim Thorpe. This place was above my expectations. It was convenient to everything we wanted to do. We parked the truck and just walked everywhere, dining, drinks, brewery, dinner, entertainment, shopping, train ride and church. Three coffee shops in the next block down. I was so happy to have a place so clean and secure. Thoughfully decorated for Halloween. So cute! Super easy to check in and check out. Host was flexible and very responsive. Would definitely stay again when we come back to Jim Thorpe. Recommended 5 stars!

Nice stay in great location

Overall very good and we had a nice stay. The bed was super comfortable. We're experienced with B&B's, and in most respects this property was very good. Nice old building in fantastic location with all the amenities you'd expect; plus dog-friendly...which we really appreciated. We typically cook some meals in the room, and this property was well suited for that. Shower/tub were very good. The one critique is that for the price (this property is on the expensive-side), the heat in the room was not good (we stayed during the fall so it was getting cold at night). The suite has an old steam-radiator design but the room itself doesn't have any controls; so it's either "on" or "off" and is controlled by the property manager for the entire building. So we were either too hot or too cold, and were using the AC and opening windows to cool-down when it got too hot. We had to contact the manager several times to request the heat be turned on or off. This is simply not appropriate for an expensive stay.

Response from VrboOwner on 16 Oct 2024
Unfortunately, this was the first night of the season where I had to turn on the heat and so the weekend was very cold and then the weekend got warmer. It’s on my priority list to get individual HVACs for each apartment in the building. Unfortunately, it’s hard to find people to do that work in this area. It will be a game changer for myself because I stay on the second floor. And anyone who has stayed in an old Victorian house or an old building knows that, the Charm and the frustration is that it’s either too hot or too cold with steam radiators. Whether you have control over them or not.

About the host

Hosted by Laura Young, Owner and Host

Host profile image
I am Laura and I purchased this Victorian home so my schnauzer, Copine, and I could visit, ride bikes and also share it to others who could enjoy all that Jim Thorpe has to offer. Please feel free to reach out and ask any questions you may have. I am a bit new at VRBO and hopefully a quick study. Hope you can visit us soon.

Why they chose this property

Laura purchased this 3-unit home because she fell in love with the location and the unique character of each of the apartments. It has plenty of old-world Victorian charm while still having the modern conveniences our guests require.

What makes this property unique

Laura often lives in the apartments herself, so the place is fully equipped to serve you the best. Almost all dining, shops, historical jail, Asa Packer mansion and museums are a stones throw away. The Opera House is literally diagonal from your home away from home.
