Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Jennifer or Garry D.
We met at Camelback Ski Resort at The Thirsty Camel after a day of skiing and snowboarding in 2002. The Poconos holds a special place in our hearts. We decided to buy land and build our very own vacation home from the ground up. Garry is a builder and contractor in South Jersey. We both built this house with our own hands in our spare time while running businesses, starting & raising a family. We love Jim Thorpe, the location, the activities, the beautiful scenery, the wildlife, etc...We hope you enjoy and respect it as much as we do. We really hope you enjoy your stay and make special memories while staying in our home.
Why they chose this property
Location! Location! Location! Close to skiing, whitewater rafting, hiking, biking, shopping, etc...We love the outdoors! We chose our property specifically because of how scenic and quiet it is. The options are limitless. You can raft or hike during the day then come back, unwind, and relax around the firepit in the evening. The choice is yours! Our home offers the right amount of serenity in an area full of adventure, shopping in downtown Jim Thorpe, restaurants, and/or entertainment, etc...
What makes this property unique
Our home is located on a cul-de-sac nestled in the woods where we usually see bears, deer, turkey, and fox run freely. We love the scenery and the peaceful, quiet setting. Very relaxing yet there are many activities to keep you and your family busy no matter the season.
