Nice stay for friends holiday getaway
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.

First time visit to Jim Thorpe
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.

Excellent property
The location is perfect - steps away from the shops and restaurants but not too close to be bothered by traffic and noise. Denise was terrific in being proactive, offering information, and making sure we get there with no hiccups. Also very flexible throughout our stay. Highly recommended.

Perfect Location
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.

Biking and wineries
Upper town location, right by the old jail with easy parking, and very walkable downhill to the train station with lots of shops along the way. Clean home with three upstairs bedrooms. We had a wonderful time biking from white haven back to Jim Thorpe and touring some local wineries.
