Great location for experienced walkers: plenty of beds clean linens. Could use a wall for the bathroom/shower and n 3rd floor. Awkward to have sleeping for 6 people there but 0 bathroom privacy as it is literally in the room with the beds. Stove could stand to be replaced but it is usable, corn chips under sofa and coffee table (we didn’t have those) found when we dropped a dice. All in all we will stay again as it met our needs, was fairly clean, host was easy contact, and it wasn’t a really a nice place. Hoping for nicer weather so we can sit out and use firepit
Great location, great home for a larger group. Reccomend highly. Perfect location to get into the center of town and plan your time there. Also appreciated the story shared by the family. It was very sentimental to feel included into the house's history.
We absolutely loved our stay here! The property and the house are very beautiful with lots of thoughtful amenities. The location is wonderful and in easy walking distance to downtown as long as you’re okay with walking up/down the hill which was no problem for us! Would absolutely stay here again.
Check in was easy. Communication with the owner was very good. The house was perfect for our group of 8 adults who came to Jim Thorpe for biking adventures.
We enjoyed our stay at this homey, clean and interesting house. The description on the VRBO site was complete and accurate. Loved the classic woodwork in this home. Close to center of town but we are all senior citizens so drove rather than walk the hills, but it is close enough to walk if you don't mind walking uphill to return. Also appreciated the off-street parking.
Location was great! Few min walk to town. Though the walk up the hill back is a challenge. Host was great and responded quickly. House was clean and spacious and fit my whole family comfortably. Would recommend to anyone looking to stay at Jim Thorpe.
We enjoyed the great location of Josephine's house! Just a short walk (downhill) to town and all its offerings. We all slept comfortably and plenty of towels and extra blankets were provided. We enjoyed the back porch alot! Plenty of off-street parking for our group.
