Property was clean and convenient. Anthony was amazing with communication and check in was a breeze. Spent most of our time away from the home, but enjoyed it nonetheless!
The home is located right near the main trail! You could walk into town if you wanted to! The home is beautifully designed. Our favorite parts were the hot tub and the living room. The fireplace is so quaint and we used it every morning and night. The home was incredibly clean and organized. The owner was so helpful. We felt safe and secure during our stay.
Lovely house, clean & spacious for a group of 4. The host is very friendly, respectful & responsive. It's only 6 min drive from Jim Thorpe, and also not far from sight seeings. I highly recommend it! We'll be sure to visit again! My 6-year old niece loved it!
The property is exactly what you see in the pictures. Host was very nice. Location is convenient to Jim Thorpe. The house next to us was very run down, but that didn’t bother us in the least. I recommend this property as an excellent place to stay when you’re visiting Jim Thorpe.
I stayed here with my family and it was perfect! New and updated with a warm, welcoming feel. We went white water rafting and the rafting center is 1 block away so super convenient. We also enjoyed the fireplace and communication with the host was quick and easy. Would stay again
