Great house in Jim Thorpe

What a great time we had at The Owl House in Jim Thorpe. The house is beautiful and it's also really functional for a group. Unlike other VRBOs we've stayed at, this home was spotless and fully stocked with everything we needed for our stay. And we really felt welcomed... the hosts are great. Highly recommend this beautiful home.

Perfect home, Perfect Location

First time ever to Jim Thorpe PA. The Owl House was totally charming. Just 3 blocks from everything. The hosts were great. Highly responsive. Gave us recommendations on what to do and where to eat. Everything went super smoothly. House was clean and had everything a family would need. Even a little candy in the refrigerator.

The Owl House

The Owl House superseded expectations significantly. We were looking for a weekend to get away in Jim Thorpe and chose the house based mostly on location. The location was ideal, right on the main strip just feet away from coffee and some great restaurants. What made the trip so special was the house itself. The details and design inside the house are nothing short of perfect. The furniture, decor, vibe...was right on. Not only would I stay again but I wouldn't stay anywhere else but here while visiting. Thank you guys so much.

A Great Getaway!

The Owl House was an excellent place for a Jim Thorpe weekend. The house is clean, cozy, beautifully decorated and in a great location. Hosts were quick in answering any questions and their special touches made this a real home away from home for our weekend. We hope to stay at The Owl House again!

Owl house was a real hoot!

Our stay at the owl house was one of our best VRBO experiences to date. The house itself is architecturally very unique/cool due to being from the 1800's. They accommodated an early check-in, it was super clean, perfectly decorated for the holidays (Christmas), and the hosts provided a great selection of amenities.The location was excellent for exploring the heart of Jim Thorpe on foot. We will be looking forward to our next reason to return to this spot!

Amazing home!

My friend and I stayed at the Owl House for a weekend getaway. We were more than pleased with the accommodations. The home was immaculate and very comfortable. The rooms are spacious and beautifully decorated. The owners, Brian and David, thought of everything you could ever need during your stay. The location is perfect, close to all the action: shops and restaurants. Highly recommend the Owl House!!

Incredible place to stay

The Owl House is just a wonderful place to stay. The hosts, David and Brian, are responsive and willing to provide assistance promptly. They provided GF restaurants, good hiking trails, and rafting companies upon request.The house is a historic beauty. It is well-located in the center of town and a quarter mile from the D&L trail and 3.5 miles from March Chunk Lake. So much to do here for an extended weekend.Parking is also available- a bit tight but definitely workable- even with an expedition. Parking is not easy to find- so this is an amazing addition to the unit.It is easy to see how much thought the owners have put into being hosts. Decorating is beautiful, couches and beds comfortable, and every possible need met. The kitchen is well-stocked and an outdoor grill was also available within a beautifully planted patio/backyard area. We loved watching the resident bunny and hummingbird. We truly so appreciated the additional snacks and drinks that were left for us. My daughters appreciated the wine as they toasted to the oldest’s 30th year. To the owners- Brian & David- Keep doing what you’re doing. So nice to feel cared for in a world where that no longer seems the norm. Thank you again!!!

First of all, Brian and David are The Best Hosts! They thought of everything: drinks, snacks, wonderful throw blankets to keep us warm out on the beautiful back porch. They were quick to respond when we had questions. Super generous and accommodating and gave the most beautiful gift to my aunt. If you visit Jim Thorpe, stay at the Owl House!

I could tell by the initial contact from Brian when I made the reservation, that this was going to be an exceptional experience. As a host, Brian was super responsive and very generous! There were treats waiting for us upon our arrival. The home is amazing…it was decorated for Halloween and so nice and cozy. It had everything you could possibly need for a weekend away. The location is convenient to everything. I would highly recommend staying at the Owl House! We had a PERFECT girls’ trip!

Perfect Spot in the Heart of Town

My family and I had a wonderful stay at the Owl House. The accommodations are large and comfy, so we felt at home the entire time we were there. It was great to be able to walk a few blocks for morning coffee (and donut), dinner, or even a scenic train ride. Having off street parking was a major plus as well. The house was well stocked and ready to go, and Brian took care of any of our additional needs.

About the host

Hosted by Brian Navitsky

Host profile image
A few years ago, we wanted to have a weekend getaway in the Poconos. In our search of where to stay, we stumbled across Jim Thorpe, PA. Coming down Rt 209, heading into town, we were intrigued. As soon as we turned left on Broadway, we knew we were home. That weekend was the start of an adventure that eventually led us to purchasing The Owl House. This is our getaway and we hope it becomes yours.

Why they chose this property

The Owl House is a perfect mix of old and new. It provides a relaxing atmosphere for a getaway and is centrally located to all the shops and restaurants in historic Jim Thorpe! The home also has parking, which is a super asset in this part of town.

What makes this property unique

Whether you’re coming in town for a day trip or overnight, feel free to reach out with questions about the area and we’ll do our best to make sure your visit is as memorable as our time has been here.
