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.
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.
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.
I was so pleasantly greeted with a beautiful, clean home. No cookie cutter here! It's got so much character!!! We especially loved the fabric ceiling in the dining room!!!! There was nothing lacking in this place. It was located close enough to the shops & restaurants without being too close to the crowds. We literally parked our car & walked everywhere with no problem at all. Met the owners by chance and they were lovely people. Very responsive to any questions and seemed to be genuinely very nice people. Cannot recommend highly enough! Would 100% stay again.
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.
We wanted to stay at a place near Mauch Chunk Lake Park where we hold our yearly family reunion. The park is a short drive from the house. The house suited our purposes. Having 2 full bathrooms is a real plus.
It was an adorable clean house. Very comfortable and convenient. It was close enough to town to walk to shops, restaurants and activities. We plan on returning.
Property is in a great
Location for walking down town- quiet section of town. Parking on premises was a huge plus as parking is very difficult and expensive in the area.
The property is roomy, clean, and well maintained.
Great location, in walking distance to all events!
Property Owners were very knowledgeable of the area and provided information on what to do and where to go. Accommodations were clean, the house was cozy, and plenty of parking. Perfect for a fall getaway in Jim Thorpe!
Three old college friends just visiting someplace new, enjoying fall weather. This property has a great location; everything in walking distance.
Lots of menus and suggestions for things to do. Clear instructions for check out. Easy communication with host. We had a ball!
