We enjoyed the location. The pool and lake were close by. The house was very cozy and had everything we needed. The grill did not start but worked with hand lighting. Liz was very prompt in responding to questions. Highly recommend!
The kids room was a big hit with our two and four year old. The beds and pillows were all comfy. The gas fireplace was lovely and heated up the downstairs very well. Overall, it’s was exactly as expected, we had a great time and we’d stay there again.
Went away for our annual sisters weekend. Found Owl Woods Inn near Jim Thorpe for the annual Fall Fest weekend. Close to activities and places to eat. Cabin was cozy and beds were very comfy. Owners were very fast in responding to questions. Kitchen was stock with the essentials and game room was great for our rainy Saturday. The karaoke machine was a big hit! I am sure if you bring children, they will love the game area. I will definelty come back here again.

Thank you so much Carol! We loved hosting you and are looking forward to you coming back!
My parents, children, and I had a lovely stay at Liz’s home in Jim Thorpe! Liz was a consummate hostess, leaving kid-friendly touches throughout the house and always being available via text if something came up. There were a couple hiccups but Liz was quick to rectify anything so no complaints here! The house is well-appointment with everything you could possibly need (tons of towels, coffee, clean linens, etc). It is also located in close to proximity to everything: downtown Jim Thorpe (which is adorable and fun), Walmart, Dollar General, plenty of restaurants (we loved Myst). There’s even pizza delivery without an app if you have a lazy afternoon. We had fun in the game room and hot tub. The area was private, quiet, serene, and very clean. We felt right at home and highly recommend this property to other families looking for a cozy place to come together. Notes: the stairs to enter the main floor from the basement of the home are steep as are the stairs from the main floor to the top floor bedrooms. Anyone with mobility issues should be aware they must climb the stairs from the basement at a minimum to get in and out of the house. Also: there are legit 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths in this home (1 queen and 1 single on the main floor + 1 queen and a triple twin that includes bunk beds on the top floor. Full bath with shower and tub on main floor as well as top floor. Plenty of couches and floor space for further sleeping accommodations). Thank you so much, Liz!

About the host
Hosted by Elizabeth Brush
I live with my husband and three adventurous boys in beautiful Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Our family loves to hike, bike, and spend time outdoors together.
When we are not out seeking adventure, I enjoy baking, crafting and spending time with friends and family. My perfect day would be spent sitting by the water in the sunshine, and a full cup of coffee!
I am always flexible and understanding, and will go out of my way to make sure you have the best possible experience during your stay!
Why they chose this property
We fell in love not only with the incredible town of Jim Thorpe, but with Bear Creek Lakes, a beautiful gem of a lake community in the mountains of the Poconos, a short 8 miles outside of town. We consider our home ideally located for world class hiking, whitewater rafting, skiing, and biking. Jim Thorpe is an outdoors haven and we are thrilled to share it with you!
What makes this property unique
Access to the lake (North Beach) is a short walk or bike ride from the house. The community amenities, including pool, clubhouse and various sports courts are a bike ride or short car ride away!
