House was perfect for a 50th birthday girls' weekend. Spotless and with the little things you don't think to pack, like paper towels. It's easy walking distance into the restaurants and shops - we didn't move the cars until we left! We especially appreciated the fireplace on a rainy day.

Everything was great. The owner let us know all the details ahead of time. Location is great, 5 min easy walking to everything in downtown Jim Thorpe. The house is nice, everything was clean, towels and bed linen fresh and soft. Great to have off-street parking! Highly recommend, would stay again.

Nice stay for friends holiday getaway

House was very nice and plenty of room for 3 college friends. Walk to town was only 10 minutes which was great. Place was very clean and had the basics. Only recommendation is to update decor in and out of the house.

This is a house from 1856 and is made to be old Victorian decor'. The furniture was purchased from a Manhattan mansion. I assume you saw the pictures, as listed on Air BnB to show that the house is clearly decorated to match the time period of the town. This was actually done for a purpose. Sorry that you didn't appreciate our hard work in keeping the time period.

First time visit to Jim Thorpe

Property is in a great Location for walking down town- quiet section of town. Parking on premises was a huge plus as parking is very difficult and expensive in the area. The property is roomy, clean, and well maintained.
