The house is just perfect. Every detail is accounted for and beyond. It’s more like staying in a luxury hotel, than a house rental. The hosts are immediately responsive, welcoming, and kind.
Our stay was amazing. The place is beautiful and all the little touches such as soap and snacks were greatly appreciated. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
We had an absolutely perfect stay! The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and even better than the photos. Every detail was thoughtfully prepared—from the fully stocked kitchen to the cozy linens. The location was ideal, close to everything yet peaceful and relaxing. The host was incredibly responsive and made check-in a breeze. We would 100% stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a stress-free getaway!
We loved everything about our stay at The Owl House!! The house has everything you need for an amazing visit!! No detail was missed! The house is in the perfect location and is beautiful inside and out!!
House is a perfect fit for 3 couples traveling together - 3 bedrooms with their own baths and king size beds with extremely comfortable mattresses. Lots of gathering space on the first floor with a large living room and dining room . Well equipped kitchen . Hosts Brian and David were quick to answer any questions and left nice treats for us to enjoy . Home has lots of historical charm And as a bonus there’s off street parking !
Beautifully decorated home with all amenities (and more) provided. Perfect location. Parked our cars in driveway and walked everywhere all weekend. Best vrbo we have had pleasure of staying in.
Wonderful time and our hosts were so gracious to allow us to stay with 24 hours notice. Perfect location, spacious, spotless and beautiful setting. Highly recommend
The Owl House was an excellent place for a Jim Thorpe weekend. The house is clean, cozy, beautifully decorated and in a great location. Hosts were quick in answering any questions and their special touches made this a real home away from home for our weekend. We hope to stay at The Owl House again!
From the complimentary wine and snacks to the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in- our entire stay at The Owl House was incredible. The location could not have been more perfect, the decor and cleanliness was exceptional. Just an overall perfect stay. Could not recommend enough!!
This place is amazing. Amazing location. Beautiful home. Everything you could want. We loved everything. Do not hesitate to spoil yourself and rent this home. We stayed for a girls birthday weekend and took the owl house and made it our theme. So much fun!
What a great time we had at The Owl House in Jim Thorpe. The house is beautiful and it's also really functional for a group. Unlike other VRBOs we've stayed at, this home was spotless and fully stocked with everything we needed for our stay. And we really felt welcomed... the hosts are great. Highly recommend this beautiful home.
5 stars is not enough. The Owl House was the perfect place for our family trip to Jim Thorpe. Comfortable, welcoming and thoughtful living spaces around every corner. Convenient parking. Large, comfortable and well appointed sleeping spaces. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare Thanksgiving dinner. The owners went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. The multitude of details and extras they included to make our stay one of a kind were seemingly endless.
My family and I love The Owl House! This is the 3rd time we’ve stayed and each time we walk through the door it’s like coming home. The feel is cozy and inviting. Don’t let this one pass you by.
This may have been one of the best vrbos I’ve ever stayed in. House was immaculate, cozy and super charming. Location could not have been better. 10/10 would recommend.
This is my second time staying at the Owl House in Jim Thorpe. The house is amazing from the design to all the details with decorating. You will feel right at home. Perfectly nestled in the heart of Jim Thorpe and just minutes from the downtown life. Trust me if you book this house you will not be disappointed.
My friend and I stayed at the Owl House for a weekend getaway. We were more than pleased with the accommodations. The home was immaculate and very comfortable. The rooms are spacious and beautifully decorated. The owners, Brian and David, thought of everything you could ever need during your stay. The location is perfect, close to all the action: shops and restaurants. Highly recommend the Owl House!!
My friends and I needed a relaxing weekend away and loved staying at the Owl house! At a time when a lot of VRBO’s do the bare minimum, they went above and beyond with snacks, drinks, a bottle of wine, and coffee all supplied for us! The house is gorgeous and has an amazing backyard and it’s walking distance to everything in Jim Thorpe! I hope to stay here again soon!
Our stay at the owl house was one of our best VRBO experiences to date. The house itself is architecturally very unique/cool due to being from the 1800's. They accommodated an early check-in, it was super clean, perfectly decorated for the holidays (Christmas), and the hosts provided a great selection of amenities.The location was excellent for exploring the heart of Jim Thorpe on foot. We will be looking forward to our next reason to return to this spot!
First time ever to Jim Thorpe PA. The Owl House was totally charming. Just 3 blocks from everything. The hosts were great. Highly responsive. Gave us recommendations on what to do and where to eat. Everything went super smoothly. House was clean and had everything a family would need. Even a little candy in the refrigerator.
The Owl house was one, if not the best, rental property I've ever stayed in. The owners were easy to work with and they left us wine and snacks which was a nice touch! The house is the perfect blend of old charm and modern conveniences. We were blocks from downtown stores and restaurants and never touched our car the entire weekend. And it was decorated beautifully for the holidays! Wish we could have stayed longer and we will definitely be back!!

About the host
Hosted by Brian Navitsky
A few years ago, we wanted to have a weekend getaway in the Poconos. In our search of where to stay, we stumbled across Jim Thorpe, PA. Coming down Rt 209, heading into town, we were intrigued. As soon as we turned left on Broadway, we knew we were home. That weekend was the start of an adventure that eventually led us to purchasing The Owl House. This is our getaway and we hope it becomes yours.
Why they chose this property
The Owl House is a perfect mix of old and new. It provides a relaxing atmosphere for a getaway and is centrally located to all the shops and restaurants in historic Jim Thorpe! The home also has parking, which is a super asset in this part of town.
