The unit was very clean and comfortable. Bathrooms were well supplied. It was conveniently located for walkers (who didn't mind hills) and easily accessed from the major routes in and near Jim Thorpe. Enjoyed the view of the mountains in the distance. We appreciated that the walkway was well-lit when we returned in the dark after dinner. Off-street parking was a convenient plus.
VERY clean and comfortable property! Plenty of blankets, pillows, the kitchen was equipped for what we needed, plenty of towels, washcloths and there was soap, body wash, shampoo, conditioner, available! Very close to all there is to do in downtown Jim Thorpe. Peaceful location! Highly recommend.
We had the best time in this incredible area being hosted in a wonderful home.10/10 would tell anyone and everyone to visit and stay!

This is a basement apartment with heat and air supplied from the main house. The kitchen was very dirty. If you plan on cooking or eating in, bring dishes and pots and pans. There is not a full compliment of either.The view from outside is amazing, but the weeds and dilapidated furniture made it unpleasant.Use caution walking down the sidewalk as it is unlevel and a tripping hazard.Location to town was great.
Josephine’s Apartment is a special place. We found it to be as described. It was clean, comfortable and met our needs. Any questions we had were answered promptly. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and our time in Jim Thorpe. Thank you Patricia.
Another great stay at Josephine’s.
We LOVE this place! Clean, comfortable, well appointed, ample parking, great views and best location. Owner is really responsive and accommodating.
We will be back!
The pictures say it all. Clean and ready to go. Great kitchen and common area. We rented in january and used the fireplace space heaters and were plenty warm. Hot tub was spacious for 1 person and very relaxing. You can hear the upstairs rentees walking around.
Josephine’s apartment is located in walking distance for everything to do Jim Thorpe. Place was clean, cozy, great chef kitchen. We were able to walk into town, see the Christmas tree lighting, take the Santa train ride, eat at the local restaurants, have drinks at the local pubs, shop at the small business and attend church. We even saw XII XXIV at the Mauch Opera House, a tribute band to TSO. It was a Christmas rock extravaganza. We stayed for 3 nights and had a great nights sleep at the apartment. Great mattress choices ! Thank you again !! Christine and Mike N
My husband and I had the best stay!
Really clean, spacious and well appointed apartment. Owners thought of everything! Beds were super comfortable. Kitchen is gorgeous. I really enjoyed the jacuzzi tub after hiking The Switchback Trail, which is literally in the back yard of this beautiful house. View of JT from the top of the hill were great!
Owners were friendly, super responsive and extremely gracious.
Will definitely book again!
Overall, would stay here again and would recommend to others! If this is helpful, here are our pros/cons-
Pros:
- Host was extremely quick with response
- Location was great
- Beds were comfortable
- Extra pillows/blankets provided
- Cute, good space
- Views were beautiful
- Close walk to downtown (just a big hill to climb coming back)
- Heater in each room
Cons:
- No thermostat to control temp
- The room closest to the kitchen had a closet with the furnace that would turn off/on all night with loud thumping noises
- A check-in/check-out email was not provided. Had to request both, and not very detailed
- No wifi provided
- Could hear the guests and their dogs on the top floor, but they were respectful
We were appalled by the untimely notification that our booking was cancelled four hours before we were to arrive.We contacted the owner to receive the house code and only then were notified through emails that our reservation was being refunded. We had booked this vacation the first week of December. We are extremely angry that the owner did not notice the overbooking especially when it was Winterfest weekend.

Happy New Year
The property was amazing and close to everything! The worst part of our stay was that both of us work hard and were looking for a quiet getaway weekend. We had the downstairs apt and let me tell you...back and forth, back and forth, back and forth running was all we heard. The only break we had was when the upst6airs family left and went out! There is no thermostat but there was electric heaters, we had a fairly warm weekend so not sure how it would be on a 20 degree day. View was amazing and the place was filled with love and beautiful decor. I would definitely return but will look into staying upstairs this time!

Noisy upstairs renters
The property was very clean and spacious. Plenty of linens and towels to be had. The beds were comfy and the bathrooms were clean and stocked with products. The location was good but the walk back home could prove to be very difficult for anyone that is older or has a walking issue. I had to reach out to the owner for arrival codes and instructions but they were emailed right away. The worst part of this rental is the location of the apartment in the basement. We could not sleep due to the constant upstairs all night noise. You hear every step, cough, conversation that was being had upstairs. I got hardly any sleep and we left without staying our 2nd night. I made no attempt to reach out to the owner about the noise because I honestly didn't think anything could be done. The upstairs noise lasted well into the early morning hours and began again around 6:30 am. If you are a light sleeper, this is not the rental for you. If you can sleep through anything, then this rental would be perfect as that was our only, but major, issue.

Nice space, Good location with decent access to downtown.
Cute little place. Nice and clean for us. No thermostat to control. Probably should put that in your VRBO listing. It says there’s air-conditioning, but we have no control over it.Kitchen could use a little bit more equipping. Just some more kitchen tools and a little bit more silverware and platesOwner was very responsive to messages, but had to ask for check-in instructions and code.Otherwise, it was a nice time and a cute place.
We loved Josephine’s place. It was perfect for a family of 5. Also the location was great. Just close enough to walk to town.
We will be back. Thank you!
We love staying at this property in Jim Thorpe. Very clean, wonderful host, and really good location. We really enjoyed having coffee and breakfast outside on the patio! Can’t wait to return!
