Your Home Away From Home!

The house is located on the hill above the main road. It is a short walk (less than 5 minutes) to just about everything in town (you can actually see/hear everything in town from the house). The house was clean and had everything we needed. The porch and fire pit were an added bonus and a great location to relax at the end of the day. The neighbor checked in with us on the owners behalf to make sure we had everything we needed. She also gave us some great recommendations on things to do in town. Added boneus, the house was pet friendly. Overall it is a lovely house, in a great location at a great price. We plan to come back again

This is a quiet, very clean nice little cottage with everything needed for your stay, set behind the main street where the theater and restaurants and bars are located. There is convenient parking right next to the house, and we mostly left our car there and walked everywhere as it is so handy. The bedding was crisp and fresh and we had plenty of soft thick towels. We had a lovely 3 night weekend here with our little dog (who especially liked the deck out back which seems to be floating in the tree tops - plenty for her to watch).

Helen is a great host. She was quick in her responses to me and kindly allowed us to drop our bags off 2 hours before the check in time so we could head straight out to walk our dog. She left us baked goodies, yogurts and fruit etc for our breakfast - a lovely touch.

There is plenty to do close by. We hiked, took a tour of No.9 mine (old coal mine which was excellent) and enjoyed a concert at the Mauch Chunk Opera House. The highlight of our stay was when walking the switchback trail,very close to the Asa Packer mansion, when we noticed a baby black bear cub not 100 feet away from us off in the woods. We backed off quickly knowing it's protective mama must be somewhere very close by. What a thrill !

If we ever return to Jim Thorpe we would definitely consider staying in this little cottage again. Thanks Helen for a great stay.

This place was very nice and clean. We enjoyed the deck very much. Everything necessary was there. There were a few problems that were addressed immediately. The missing light bulbs were replaced right away as well as the WIFI issues were dealt with as soon as possible.

On a less positive note, there was an unpleasant smell coming through the vents occasionally and the convertible sofa in the second bedroom upstairs was too uncomfortable to sleep on for me.

Great location that is walking distance to town, train, and hiking. Private outdoor patio. Easy parking.

Indoor space is VERY dark. Very limited kitchen supplies. Toilet continuously running. Clean sheets but quilt on the bed seems like it has never been washed. Overall musty smell throughout home.

If you are looking for a place to sleep without spending any time in the home- this is a great option.

The owners were available to answer questions and advise us on a great hike to an abandon railroad tunnel. We were able to hike from the house, visit down town and eat at restaurants all without getting in our car. The house was clean and the perfect amount of space for a family of three. Great location!
