Gorgeous stay in Jim Thorpe
This was the first time my family and I have been to Jim Thorpe, so we definitely had to go during the winter fest weekend. The rental had a gorgeous view out the front window. It was very spacious and they provided a lot of item for us; sheets, blankets, towels, shampoo and conditioner and so much more. The fireplace was super nice. The drive was only about 5 minutes into town which wasn’t bad at all. We brought our two chihuahuas with us, the place was very pet friendly and clean. I wish the ice would’ve been cleared from the deck and yard so we could’ve actually used it for our dogs bc they would’ve loved it. The only thing we were really upset with is the electric heat didn’t work over the weekend we were there and it was FREEZING. I did call the owner about the heat not working and she responded right away plus came over to check it. Unfortunately, we were out to eat so when we got back to the rental I called her so she could walk me thru it but the baseboards were warm. The next morning we checked and the baseboards were back to being cold. So whenever we were at the rental we had to have a fire going to stay warm. It would be nice to be refunded some money bc of the heat not working and being frozen all weekend. Other than the heat and ice and it a gorgeous place to stay and I would definitely stay again as long as the heat would work next time.

We could manage the steps to the place, but suggest it be noted in the description that there are many steps and a small incline to be navigated.?our ages are 78 to 80.I was not aware we were on the other side of Jim Thorpe away from the activities and had to drive to the other side. We enjoyed our stay.

Not what we expected.
The property wasn’t as we expected. The outdoor areas were unsuitable and/or unsafe. The neighborhood had burned out and abandoned homes. The home itself was cozy, although the memorial wall and childhood cancer references were a bit unsettling. The beds were comfortable.There was no wood for the fireplace.

Clean Home with a Beautiful View!
Myself and three friends stayed here and it was the perfect space for a girls' getaway in Jim Thorpe. It's a short drive from the busy part of town and easy to park on the street in front of. We spent a lot of time in town, but while at the vrbo we cooked breakfast, used the TV to watch shows, and were comfortable hanging out.

Wonderful place to stay
My family just visited Jim Thorpe, and we really enjoyed our stay in this VRBO. The location is super convenient. Historic Jim Thorpe is three minutes away, and there are plenty of cute restaurants and an ice cream shop right around the house. We spent a lot of time on the porch, and even could see all the way to fireworks on Broadway. The house is just as pictured. We had every amenity we needed. Everything was super clean. Individual ACs in each room kept everybody comfortable. The beds were comfortable. Note: the shower in the hall bath is super weird! You have to pull down on the bath faucet to get the shower head to turn on. That puzzle took us a while to figure out :-) And the place is not super friendly to a toddler! It doesn’t suggest it is, so I guess no surprises there. But we had to be extra vigilant with our one year year old. Lots of glass tables, sharp edges, and pretty decorative pieces that can fall over. They do have a solid baby gate on the deck, though, so that was great for the kids and the dog. And communication with the owners was very easy. I asked a few questions about check-in, and they got back to me right away. They even suggested we check out their other properties if we go back, which we will. They clearly know what they are doing. And we enjoyed the special touches for their daughter, Josephine, who we learned lost her battle to childhood cancer in 2019. Their love for her is clear in these rentals. Highly recommend.

Weekend at Jim Thorpe
Happy with our stay, place was as advertised. Comfortable and great views. Snowed like crazy so more shoveling than anticipated also lots of shops/restaurants were closed. People/kids with pet allergies will need meds. Would recommend however. An instruction list for cleanup and do's and don'ts would have been helpful.

Very Nice
Great, little fun town to visit. Property was very well taken care of. It's a good walk downtown, but not bad, and Ubers were usually available. Cool neighborhood bar, good priced food just down the street if you want a more local experience on the east side of bridge. Nice stay all around, good property. Would recommend.

Jim Thorpe visit
This house was clean and comfortable. The beds were comfortable and bedding was nice. Towels were good quality and very white and a generous supply was provided. Very spacious and accommodating for our dog. My family of four were here for the weekend to celebrate my daughter’s 14th birthday. When we walked in the door and the first thing we saw was the shrine on the fireplace mantle for their daughter who passed away from brain cancer in 2019, my daughter immediately burst into tears. Not to say that it wasn’t beautiful and touching but it was SO personal and devastatingly sad with large photos of Josephine, her childhood artwork, many burnt candles, prayer card and tribute from her class. My daughter who struggles with anxiety and depression could not spend much time in the main room of the house because it was so triggering for her. She sobbed and said “i was trying to have a nice getaway and forget all my problems and now this just makes it worse!”There is also a binder with about 20 pages detailing their daughter’s entire cancer journey including all the procedures and trauma she suffered and several pictures of her in the hospital which was very sad to read. We didn’t show this to my daughter, but my husband and I both sobbed reading it. We initially thought it was a Welcome binder with information for our stay. This is a very nice house with a very pretty view of the mountains and a five minute drive over the bridge into Jim Thorpe. If you are someone who would not be affected by the memorial described, then this house is great. My family was very touched by the tribute to Josephine but we also thought it was not appropriate for a rental property where people go to have a good time and sometimes to escape their own difficulties and sorrows. We felt it belonged in their own personal home. We have tremendous empathy for what this family went through and wish only peace and comfort to everyone affected by their tragic loss.
