This house comes with a private, off- street parking lot for 6-8 vehicles...a Jim Thorpe rarity. We even have a laundry room, and dry ample storage for outdoor gear.
The Glen Onoko Guesthouse is conveniently located in the town of Jim Thorpe and is close to Glen Onoko State Park, just 6 blocks from our doorstep!

About Dee Ford
My career in retail led me to this charming building, with a lovely storefront with double display windows. I met my husband Mark, in Jim Thorpe, when he and his family owned and operated The Hotel Switzerland. We have been in the hospitality business for decades and are very knowledgeable about the area.
I am also a certified master gardener, with many hours of volunteer work in the community. I personally love the town for its quiet atmosphere, beautiful scenery, and fresh, clean air. Spending time in nature with walks in the woods gives me more energy, and a sense of relaxation.
Dee Ford purchased this townhome in 2005
Why Dee Ford chose Poconos
This classically inspired townhouse was built for America's newly rich industrial barons, in the late 19th century. Elements of the decor remain, but the space that left me gasping was the lobby, with the colossal polished wood pillars, and 10 ft ceilings! The building was rescued by my husband, Mark, and renovated to the highest of standards.
The commercial space has been a bakery, a floral shop, a gift shop and a green grocer dating back to 1870.
Starting from the architecture of this building, and going right through to the necessary furniture and objects, it is our goal to have our guests feel comfortable and happy with a stay at the Glen Onoko Guesthouse.
What makes this townhome unique
Our vacation rental is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts with its close location to the entrance of the Lehigh Gorge State Park, just six blocks from our doorstep. Pedal the 25 miles of the D & L trail along the Lehigh River, or hike the Glen Onoko Falls Trail. Plan a whitewater rafting expedition, timed to the areas dam releases. Spend a day at Hickory Run State Park Hawk Falls Trail. Our townhouse offers a prime location for you and your family to experience the adventure, nature, dining and shopping in Jim Thorpe.
Book our rental for a weekend, a week or longer.

Reviews
Wonderful!
4.9/5 -
(18 traveler reviews)
Very charming and well cared for
Dee really went out of her way to be accommodating and helpful. She even had coffee and tea and milk , etc in the kitchen. Very welcoming. The house is cozy and very pleasant. Jim Thorpe is a pleasant surprise. Great base to explore the great outdoors.
Absolutely loved it!
Camp On North was absolutely perfect for our family. We each could have our own bedroom (which meant, I finally was able to get some much needed sleep on a vacation for a change instead of being up all night from snoring) and I actually slept in an extremely comfortable bed instead of a bathtub! Everything was so clean and there really was no need to bring anything except ourselves. Dee and Mark Ford (the owners) were so nice! They spent time showing us around, talking with us, supplied doughnuts and items to make pancakes for breakfast, and had plenty of brochures on things to do in the area and places to eat in the area (everywhere they suggested was terrific). I am ready to go back! I would definitely recommend this property to anyone.
Wonderful place
This is a spacious, cozy and very clean place. The house has everything what you need, just bring yourself there. The location is very convenient to everything: kayaking, restaurants, hiking.I want to thank these amazing home owners for making our stay unforgettable and stressed free.
Clean, Comfortable Charming and Quiet Townhouse Close to Many Attractions
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Camp on North. The charming three bedroom home was perfect for our family of 4 (2 adults, an 18-yr old daughter and 15-yr old son). It was just as advertised: comfortable beds, fully stocked kitchen, storage area for our bikes, access to washer/dryer. The Fords even provided pancake supplies and coffee.
Dee and Mark take great pride in their property. It is very clean and well maintained. We felt very welcome. There was a drawer full of literature for restaurants and activities. They gave us great advice on where to go and how to get to the area attractions.
I would stay here again and recommend it to friends and family.
We particularly enjoyed that it was close enough to downtown to walk but not in the thick of things. We toured the Jail, Packer Mansion and explored the shops in Jim Thorpe. We hiked Glen Onoko Falls and the switch-back trail to the top of Mt. Pisgah. We kayaked on Mauch Chunck Lake. We biked the rail trail at Lehigh Gorge from Glen Onoko to Rockport and back. We also checked out the Bear Mountain Butterfly Sanctuary. If we had more time, we would have done more!
Camp on North at Jim Thorpe - great house!
The listing was accurate. The house was very clean. The owners were very accommodating - kitchen stocked with coffee, creamer in the refrigerator, waffle mix & syrup. I would definitely rent this house again. Lehigh Gorge State park is nearby. Great area to hike and bike.
Lovely townhouse!
My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home is lovely and spacious for a family of four. The kitchen is filled with plenty of dishware and cookware, and there is even a waffle maker! The beds were comfortable and the full bath was quite spacious. Dee and Mark were extremely hospitable and helpful. We would definitely stay here again!
