About this property

The Mercantile Studio: Antique Transoms & Reserved Parking

The Space
Located on the ground floor of a 19th-century building, this suite retains its original architectural character, from the antique transom windows to the original cast iron radiators. We have meticulously preserved the 1901 soul of this former mercantile building to provide an authentic Jim Thorpe experience that blends historical integrity with modern standards.

The Historical Experience
Original Details: The space features 10-foot ceilings and original wood pillars that reflect the building's industrial roots. This is a genuine 125-year-old building with character and "soul," offering a unique alternative to a standard hotel room.

The East Side Advantage: We are located roughly 1 mile from the scenic train station. By staying on the quiet East Side, you avoid the Broadway noise and congestion. Your stay includes a guaranteed, private off-street parking spot.

Historic Charm, Modern Amenities
Premium Features: While we honor the past, we provide modern comforts, including a color-changing fireplace and our premium Sonos sound system(exclusive to this unit). This space offers a washer and dryer.

Outdoor Living: Enjoy your coffee on the deck and a BBQ grill, situated just 2.4 miles from the entrance to Lehigh Gorge State Park.

One of the reasons we chose this property was due to having parking which was super convenient. Is a mile from downtown but we loved that aspect and ate at fantastic restaurants without the masses of people. It was clean, cute, confomfortable, well maintained. We couldn't have been happier.

Parking was easy. Place was Spotless!! Adorable and comfortable. Amenities were wonderful. The only problem we had was it was very warm out and it was stuffy inside. We couldn’t find where to turn on A/C. We turned on both ceiling fans and that helped somewhat so I didn’t bother the host to ask about a/c. The other consideration is it is located on the outside of the shopping/historic district so walking there would be difficult. But it was quiet and peaceful and a lovely little place.

This is a great apartment on the quiet side of town, a twenty minute walk from the start of downtown shopping. It had everything we needed, including a basket of welcome snacks and water. It was handy to be able to walk and leave our car at the apartment as parking downtown can be tricky if it's a holiday weekend and the scenic train is running. The host is a very responsive and good communicator and helped us with restaurant recommendations. We will stay here again the next time we visit Jim Thorpe.

Thank you so much for your review and it was a pleasure hosting you! For future Guests, the suite is 800 square foot in addition to the use of the laundry room and the 10x12 outdoor deck. That makes it bigger than a New York apartment!

At our VRBO location, we have a personal connection to this town and its wonderful attributes. We share appreciation for the quiet atmoshere, stunning scenery, and the refreshing clean air that fills the area. It is a place that holds a special place in our hearts. For me, spending time in nature and taking walks in the woods is not just a pastime but a source of energy and relaxation. The natural beauty that surrounds this town is truly cativating, and we want our guests to experience the same sense of tranquility and rejuvenation. In a delightful twist of fate, I had the pleasure of meeting my husband, Mark, in this very town. During that time, Mark and his family owned and operated the Hotel Switzerland, which has now transformed into the renowned Molly Maquires Pub and Steakhouse. This connection adds an extra layer of significance to our VRBO location. We are delighted to share our love for this town with our guests and hope that you, too, will find solace in the quietude, breathtaking scenery, and the fresh air that this place has to offer. It is our sincere desire to provide you with a memorable and peaceful stay that reflects the essence of this remarkable town.

Choosing this neighborhood was a natural choice for us, as we believe in the potential of this area and wanted to contribute to its revitalization.

We invite you to be a part of this journey and experience the transformation firsthand at our VRBO location. Immerse yourself in the charm of the neighborhood, enjoy the comfort and efficiency of the renovated space, and create lasting memories in this vintage revival gem.
