Jim Thorpe Running Festival

Stayed at the property while participating in the Jim Thorpe Running festival (April 28). Originally rented from the previous owners, but new owners Michele and Andy helped with the transition after they took over ownership of the property. They honored our agreement and made the switch seamless! Appreciated all their help. We really enjoyed the stay. Made good use of the porch with the grill and had lots of fun with the Golden Tee game in the basement. Also a nice (really!) big screen TV in the basement. Place was very clean, nice kitchen with everything we needed. Also sounds like the new owners are planning for even more fun amenities going forward (ex: fire pit). Would definitely recommend and will look into renting again if I participate in the Jim Thorpe Running Festival in the future.

The Grand Chalet

This is the second year our family has stayed at this spacious home. We love the bedrooms being spread out in each floor, it gives everyone their own space. The game room really wins over the kids for sure! The small hill in the back yard is great for sledding and the hot tub is perfect for when the kids go to bed! The owner is very attentive and we will definitely be returning for a third year next winter!
