The loft is very spacious and beautifully decorated. The art by the owner creates a unique atmosphere. It is a truly unique and special experience. Strongly recommend!
Amazing space, comfortable and well appointed. With a gallery, restaurant and jazz club in the same building, there’s plenty to explore here before ever heading down the 3 blocks into town. Owners were a pleasure to meet and very communicative. Excellent, relaxing stay.
we had a wonderful long weekend in Jim Thorpe Pa, and we picked the perfect place to stay. our apartment was large clean and what wonderful art to view. the restaurant was great we had a lovely dinner sitting outside on the backyard patio. easy walk to town
Excellent experience staying in this beautiful and unique loft space. The layout is comfortable with a well appointed kitchen. Comfortable beds and a modern bathroom. Being surrounded by artwork and views of the tree tops added so much to the overall experience. Loved this spot!
Amazing place and host. Victor and Joan were spectacular to deal with and so really set the tone for a wonderful weekend away. The property is really pretty unbelievable. I was hesitant about staying in a refurbished 160-year-old factory, but it was probably the most charming place I’ve ever stayed. Not to mention it’s home to some really amazing art courtesy of Victor and his amazing portfolio. My partner is the art aficionado; however, I found myself completely mesmerized by some of the works on the property and have an entirely new appreciation of the craft, especially the surrealism that Victor is able to develop in his studio. Thanks again for a wonderful weekend; we will certainly be returning in the near future.
The host was very welcoming. The loft was very cozy during a snowy weekend stay, the place was very clean, and it was a close walk to lots to do in the center of Jim Thorpe. Thank you!

Thank you so much for the lovely review. We’re delighted you enjoyed the loft, especially during a snowy Jim Thorpe weekend. We’re glad the space felt cozy and that the walkable location made it easy to enjoy the town. You’re always welcome back!
Excellent stay, unique apartment, beautiful art, large open kitchen, beware that if you park on the street you will get a 50 parking ticket, the rental has a parking lot.

Thank you so much for the kind words about the apartment, artwork, and kitchen — we’re glad you enjoyed your stay.
Just to clarify for future guests: complimentary off-street parking is provided in our private lot, and full parking instructions are included in the check-in details. Unfortunately, local street parking is strictly enforced downtown, and arriving prior to the designated check-in time can sometimes lead to issues like this.
We appreciate you staying with us and hope the rest of your visit was enjoyable.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re delighted you and your adult children enjoyed exploring the building and the art, and that the restaurant added to your Mother’s Day weekend. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime.
We had a wonderful stay at Joan’s loft! The space itself is so cozy and beautiful. We enjoyed the open layout and spa like bathroom. The loft was very bright and I could’ve spent the whole day in the stunning kitchen. My daughters loved the upstairs sleeping area, the piano, and the various family games. Check in and check out were a breeze & location was great. Would love to stay here again in the future!

Our trip to Jim Thorpe was accented by this amazing property. We can't wait to come back and bring the kids. The Loft is perfectly appointed and a really cool setting to come "home" to after enjoying the culture, food, and activities the town has to offer. Cafe Arielle, just downstairs, has really good food and service. Don't miss the museum downstairs too!
Myself, my boyfriend and good friend of ours traveled to Jim Thorpe to celebrate my birthday. Our stay was amazing. We enjoyed the loft and viewing all of the artwork there and in the gallery. Everything was as described and went beyond our expectations. Thank you for a wonderful stay! We plan to come back again!

About the host
Hosted by Joan Morykin
I am an avid runner and cyclist and the mother of two young children. My husband is an artist who also has his studio in the building where we also run an art gallery and event venue space.
Why they chose this property
I first visited Jim Thorpe on a weekend getaway from New York City in 1998 and immediately fell in love with the town - its proximity to New York and Philadelphia was perfect for a weekend retreat and I bought a small weekend house. A number of years later, my artist husband was looking for studio space and we purchased a 15,000 sq. ft. former wireworks factory and spent six years fixing up the building. As an avid runner, the beautiful mountain trails still hold a fascination for me every time I go out. This town is perfect to raise a family - there is an old-fashioned candy store, a classic 5&10 and easy access to the Lehigh River and a recreational lake park, skiing and cycling.
What makes this property unique
Outdoor lovers can access an extensive trail system connecting a quarter-mile from the loft to enjoy bicycling, running, hiking, or cross-country skiing. The nearby Lehigh River also provides access for whitewater rafting, kayaking, and fishing through a number of outfitters. Eclectic shops, museums, and the Mauch Chunk Opera House are all within walking distance from the property. Other nearby activities include swimming, fishing, and boating at the beautiful Mauch Chunk Lake Park. During each season, visitors can enjoy a number of the annual festivals including the Fall Foliage Weekends, Jim Thorpe Birthday Celebration, Earth Day, Olde Time Christmas, Winterfest, and the Burlesque Festival.
