Best Place To Stay

This is my second time staying at the Owl House in Jim Thorpe. The house is amazing from the design to all the details with decorating. You will feel right at home. Perfectly nestled in the heart of Jim Thorpe and just minutes from the downtown life. Trust me if you book this house you will not be disappointed.

Absolutely beautiful!

The Owl house was one, if not the best, rental property I've ever stayed in. The owners were easy to work with and they left us wine and snacks which was a nice touch! The house is the perfect blend of old charm and modern conveniences. We were blocks from downtown stores and restaurants and never touched our car the entire weekend. And it was decorated beautifully for the holidays! Wish we could have stayed longer and we will definitely be back!!

Wow! Top-Notch Amenities and Attention to Details!

The home couldn’t have been nicer. The hosts thought of everything from cozy bedding, a stocked kitchen, and well appointed comfort. It truly was a treat to stay here. The home is conveniently located to the perks of Jim Thorpe and the parking was greatly appreciated. With a bit of maneuvering, we managed to fit two SUVs and two midsize cars. The hosts provided clear directions for checkin and checkout procedures, as well as tips for things to do. I am picky and can reassure anyone that the house was spotless. With all the seating and items in the kitchen preparing meals was a breeze. We had a charming weekend and hope to be back!

Hidden Gem in Jim Thorpe

Simply Wow! The photos do not do this home justice. From the moment you step foot into this beautiful get-away, you will feel at ease and right at home. The rooms are spacious and well appointed with no details left to chance. The outside grounds have a welcoming patio in the back with a relaxing atmosphere perfect for enjoying your morning coffee or tea. Location! You couldn't ask for a better location to start your exploration of this charming town. Literally steps from the museum, dining, shopping, points of interest, etc., we were never more than a few minutes to any of our chosen destinations. The onsite parking is also a major plus. Everyone in our party of six stated many times that this was the nicest VRBO they have ever stayed in, and we have stayed in many all over the States. We will be back!

About the host

Hosted by Brian Navitsky

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.
