The stay was amazing. The guest house is great location, 1 mile drive from Jim Thorpe. Far enough away to be away from the craziness of downtown, but close enough to walk or drive to. The guest house was a perfect size for a couple. Neatly designed and well kept.Dee was a phenomenal host. She had great communication leading up to and throughout our stay. She went out of her way to provide recommendations of activities to do and restaurants to try. Would recommend to others and likely stay again myself if visiting in the future.

Perfect size and location for a few night stay in Jim Thorpe. It is not in the main center of the activity area, but a great one mile, very scenic walk to go back and forth. The unit has everything you need with a few extra amenities from the host. If I ever return to the area again, I’ll make another reservation at this property. Great bang for the buck.

Perfect vintage boutique style!

Charming and comfortable first floor studio flat with vintage furnishings and and all the comforts of home. Spa-like bathroom, dreamy king size bed and fully equipped kitchen. Conveniently located just a few blocks outside the center of town, where parking and traffic is easier.

This property was MUCH more than expected! Better than a regular hotel room for the same price. The personal touches were fantastic (a pack of chocolate chip cookies, a binder showing the history of the building telling that it was a confectionery then a bakery, etc.) Couldn't ask for better communications from the host.

Lovely property just as described with super easy check-in and communication with host. Thoughtful amenities and tips provided were useful. Lots to do for a fall visit so researching ahead, buying Tix or making reservations where you can is advised. We packed a lot in and enjoyed relaxing at the clean and cozy studio after activity filled days! Wonderful experience!

Quaint Cozy

Stayed at this location for my 30th birthday. It's quite local to the historic district of Jim Thorpe and the views of being in a borough were beautiful. I stayed in the Studio Store Front and I loved the layout and retro decor; it was very spacious for a studio. The parking is behind the building for all apartment rentals, therefore, you do have to walk around the block to the Studio Door. The pillows and mattress were comfortable. The only downside is that there is no storage for clothing (if you like closets and dressers), however, there is a coat rack with hangers as compensation. The street you stay on is their most busy street (main street for travel) so it is quite noisy in the morning until evening. Most attractions, outside of Jim Thorpe, were 30-40 minutes away.

Charming and comfortable

This property is on the other side of the river from the downtown area, but is a a short walk (<20 minutes). It's a decent hill, so there is a good cardio workout getting back. The history of the building is well documented and the decor is comfortable, with a good mix of antique and modern pieces.

Awesome host, lovely stay

This apartment was beautiful, very comfortable and the host was very attentive. She had flowers and a birthday card for me. It was my birthday weekend. We were looking to move into the area and she provided real estate flyers for the area. It was very easy to communicate with her. Any questions I had she got back very quickly. I love Jim Thorpe and we usually stay at the Inn on the west side but decided to try seeing how it would be living on the east side. This apartment was conveniently located so we could walk to the west side. Parking is free and she let me know where we could park and different amenities we could use. One of the best things she told me about was the Jim Thorpe app for all things Jim Thorpe. I can't say enough good things about the place and the host. Beautiful, fantastic visit!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Host profile image
At our VRBO location, we have a personal connection to this town and its wonderful attributes. We share your appreciation for the quiet atmosphere, stunning scenery, and the refreshing, clean air that fills the area. It is a place that holds a special place in our hearts. For me, spending time in nature and taking walks in the woods is not just a pastime but a source of energy and relaxation. The natural beauty that surrounds this town is truly captivating, and we want our guests to experience the same sense of tranquility and rejuvenation. In a delightful twist of fate, I had the pleasure of meeting my husband, Mark, in this very town. During that time, Mark and his family owned and operated the Hotel Switzerland, which has now transformed into the renowned Molly Maquires Pub and Steakhouse. This connection to the town's history and hospitality adds an extra layer of significance to our VRBO location. We are delighted to share our love for this town with our guests and hope that you, too, will find solace and joy in the quietude, breathtaking scenery, and fresh air that this place has to offer. It is our sincere desire to provide you with a memorable and peaceful stay that reflects the essence of this remarkable town.
