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.
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.
