A Note From Your Host (The Owner): Welcome to "The Amsterdam House," my three-family Victorian home in Jim Thorpe. I'm Laura, the owner, and I purchased this property—specifically the second-floor "NYC Suite"—as a retreat from New York City. My love for the Netherlands inspired the name, and the apartment's urban feel reminds me of Soho lofts. Having lived in NYC for over 30 years, I find Jim Thorpe's charming, slower pace and historic architecture a perfect escape, echoing my passion for Amsterdam. My mini schnauzer, Copine (French for 'girlfriend'), and I invite you to enjoy our home away from home!

About the host
Hosted by Laura Young, Owner and Host
I am Laura and I purchased this Victorian home so my schnauzer, Copine, and I could visit, ride bikes and also share it to others who could enjoy all that Jim Thorpe has to offer. Please feel free to reach out and ask any questions you may have. I am a bit new at VRBO and hopefully a quick study. Hope you can visit us soon.
Why they chose this property
Laura purchased this 3-unit home because she fell in love with the location and the unique character of each of the apartments. It has plenty of old-world Victorian charm while still having the modern conveniences our guests require.
What makes this property unique
Laura often lives in the apartments herself, so the place is fully equipped to serve you the best. Almost all dining, shops, historical jail, Asa Packer mansion and museums are a stones throw away. The Opera House is literally diagonal from your home away from home
