About this property

Cute lodge in the woods near Jim Thorpe & Beltzville Lake

Hop through the front door of the White Rabbit Cottage and find yourself in a cozy bright space decorated in an eclectic style. There is room to scamper with a 1.5 acre wooded lot located on a quiet country cul de sac in the Southern Poconos. This 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 1200 square foot cottage has all the amenities of home. It is within 15 minutes of historic Jim Thorpe, Beltzville Lake, Blue Mountain Ski Resort and Penn's Peak Concert Venue. It accommodates hikers, kayakers, ski bunnies, loungers, bird watchers, cyclists, those who fish, white water rafters, and concert goers.

Note that the cottage does not have air conditioning. It is shaded and on top of a mountain, with ceiling fans in every room. It is generally cool at night, but does get warm if there is several 90 degree days in a row.

This free standing cottage will sleep up to six people, who can nestle in the ensuite master bedroom with a queen sized bed or two other bedrooms. One room has a full sized bed and the other has two singles that share a common bathroom. The living room has vaulted ceilings, a fireplace, and two sliding glass doors that lead to a large deck looking out on a wooded lot.

Guests are invited to nibble on their own meals cooked in the fully equipped kitchen. The cottage is also outfitted with a flat screen tv, numerous streaming channels (although we do not have traditional cable), CD/DVD player and wifi. There is a long driveway, which will easily accommodate a boat, snowmobiles or other outdoor toys.

All sheets, towels, and cooking/dinnerware are included. A two night minimum stay is required, and the cottage is non-smoking. Renters must be at least 25 years of age. Families are welcome.

Lovey Home, Perfect Weekend!
We had the pleasure of staying at the White Rabbit Cottage over this past weekend and we didn't want to leave!.The house is amazing with all the contemporary high tech conveniences in a serene and calming location. Beautifully decorated in a Pottery Barn-ish style with high ceilings and tons of natural light, not to mention the wonderful added whimsical touch of unique bunnies everywhere we looked. We were traveling with another couple and there was more than enough room for us. The house has a lovely master bedroom with en suite on one side of the house and the other side two more bedrooms with a shared bathroom. The kitchen had everything we needed and then some. Just a quick drive, under 6 miles, to downtown Jim Thorpe and just down the road from Country Junction it's in a perfect location no matter what your interest is. The owners are fantastic too, very helpful with tons of suggestions for things to see in the area and Charlie even called on our first day to check to see if all was well. Since these great folks are also the owners of the Stone Row Pub and Eatery we had the pleasure of dining at their awesome restaurant and loved it so much we returned with friends the next day. FYI the Apple Pie "Moonshine" is not to be missed!! We can't recommend this fantastic, well maintained cottage highly enough....but we're keeping our fingers crossed that you won't book a stay because we want every weekend at the cottage for ourselves :)

Nice place to stay for weekend trip
Loved the spacious living room. I wish the weather was better to enjoy the backyard. Stayed two nights for a ski trip to Blue Mountain. The place did the job. My only complaint is the plain dirty mugs with coffee stains on the bottom and kitchenware stacked in the cupboards as if they're ready to use. We had to wash what we needed.

Cozy cottage in the woods
We stayed for a week to go skiing for our birthdays. The cottage is 15-20 minutes from the Blue Mountain resort. Charlie was very responsive to our questions and requests. We cooked most nights, and enjoyed playing in the yard in the snow. The guide book in the house also provided several suggestions for activities to do close by for the days we weren't on the mountain. Would definitely stay here again!

Cute house
Was looking for a hiuse close to Blue Mountain b/c we were up to watch my son race. This house is only 15 mins from the mountain and checks all the boxes. It's clean, well stocked and comfortable. Was a perfect fit for our family for the weekend.

Blue Mountain Trip
We were looking for a place close to Blue Mountain for our ski trip. This house was perfect for our needs. Very clean and had all the amenities we required! About a 15 minute drive to the slopes on the back roads! Would love to stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Charlie Sproule

Host profile image
We have a romantic history with Jim Thorpe. Family of ours owned hotels and a bottling company during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. As sometimes happens, the accountant ran away with all the money, so we just get to look at our lost inheritance and think about what might have been.
Jim Thorpe was the first place we vacationed together as a couple and was the site of our wedding ceremony on a gorgeous May day. It's a place where our family toiled in the mines and in the sewing factory and raised their kids. It’s where every street had a bar and a church and people you dated had to live within walking distance.
Now, Jim Thorpe is about artists, adventure and the art of dining, all of which we believe in and support. We can mountain bike, hike or antique and then dine on American cuisine or attend the strawberry festival at a local church. We like it all.

Why they chose this property

Life in the big city is a noisy adventure, and we craved a bit of solace. It was the mountains that always beckoned, not the shore. Within an hour's drive, we are happily parked in front of our home, feeling miles away from the bustling life we left behind. We enjoy the secluded feel to the place, while knowing that we are just a few minutes away from grocery stores, dining, drive-in movies, hiking, and dozens of other activities.

What makes this property unique

Star-gazing while sitting on our back porch, after a meal made of ingredients supplied by local farm stands cannot be beat.
Driving 10 minutes to Beltzville Lake and having to choose between a dozen or so amazing hikes is a delight.
Running down country roads past horse farms and seeing the woods in their fall glory is beyond words.
