Nice stay for friends holiday getaway

House was very nice and plenty of room for 3 college friends. Walk to town was only 10 minutes which was great. Place was very clean and had the basics. Only recommendation is to update decor in and out of the house.

Beautiful Fall Weekend

Wonderful walkable location close to downtown and just 15 min walk from the train station. The electric fireplace was especially welcome with the chilly weather and there is plenty of seating in the living room to enjoy a good visit. The host has left lots of helpful information for guests and check in process is very easy.

Wonderful with just one glitch

We loved the location. The hosts were very accessible. The rooms were perfect. The carpets had just been professionally cleaned. It was cool in the hot summer, and overall very clean. We had colorful conversations on the front porch with neighbors and passersby. But we were asked to pick up a pack of smokes at Turkey Hill if we happened to be going that way by our neighbor, which felt awkward.Otherwise, the neighbors were wonderful.In the evenings, secondhand smoke came through the walls even though the neighbor said they only smoked outside. And some of us were allergic. So, we didn't spend as much time in our VRBO as we would have if the smoke hadn't been there. Had we known about the secondhand smoke, we would have made a different choice, which is why we're posting this review. If you're a smoker or don't mind secondhand smoke, this is an ideal rental.

Short visit to JT

Stayed here for a couple nights over the holidays for a small family get-together. This house was clean, well-located, and had all the amenities we needed. Off-street parking for two cars was included, which is very important in Jim Thorpe.This was our first visit to JT. It turned out to be a great little town to visit during this time of year. If you're planning a visit, I strongly recommend staying along Broadway on the west side of the river. You'll be able to easily walk to attractions and pop in and out with minimal fuss and no parking hassle. This particular house is conveniently located a short walk from both the tourist area (train, shopping, restaurants) and the Switchback trailhead (hiking), and right across from the old Jailhouse.

Wonderful but very short stay in this property that brings you back to another era! Only thing is there’s a pesky neighbor next door that loves chain smoking!

Enjoyed our stay while visiting Jim Thorpe! We really loved the home and town. The home was very clean and beautifully decorated with a Victorian charm. We didn't have to worry about a thing, all the amenities were included. Ken and Denise gave us a warm welcoming and were available for any questions or needs immediately. Hope to stay again in the future!

Biking and wineries

Upper town location, right by the old jail with easy parking, and very walkable downhill to the train station with lots of shops along the way. Clean home with three upstairs bedrooms. We had a wonderful time biking from white haven back to Jim Thorpe and touring some local wineries.
