Built around 1874, the home maintains its essential character with beautifully preserved original details, including artisan woodwork and authentic cast iron radiators, all thoughtfully updated for today's traveler.

You'll find easy access to the nearby D&L Trail for hiking and biking, and close proximity to Lehigh Gorge State Park for all your four-season outdoor activities. The historic area, including the popular Lehigh Gorge Scenic Train station, shops, and dining, is just a pleasant 1.1-mile walk or short drive across the river.

Words cannot express how perfect this property was! Off the beaten path from the Mayhem and downtown Jim thorpe, but close enough for convenience! Beds were super comfortable, the place was immaculately clean, and stocked with anything you would need! Very thoughtful. They even had fresh cut flowers on the table, and out on the front porch. I would definitely stay here again!!

Delightful home away from home

We were three adult couples, ranging in age from 25 to 65. We all felt comfortable, safe, and happy in the beautiful apartment, and thoroughly enjoyed our active vacation. Easy distance to good restaurants and diners, as well as white water rafting, hiking, and sightseeing. What a comfort to have such a pleasant home base!

I can't say enough good things about this place; it's amazing. It was very clean and there wasn't a thing we needed that wasn't supplied. The beds were beyond comfortable.

Clean and comfortable stay

We enjoyed our stay in this lovely guesthouse. The property is very clean and just as described. Living room and kitchen are spacious, and the unit is tastefully decorated to feel cozy and welcoming. The guesthouse is located within walking distance of town and a short bike ride to the Glen Onoko access point of the D&L rail trail path. The host was responsive and answered any questions we had. A lovely place to stay!

Girls Weekend

I stayed at the Glen Onoko Guesthouse for a long weekend and it was perfect! The house was so clean and well appointed. We like to cook and the kitchen had everything we could have needed. While we probably could have walked downtown, we drove and Dee provided a tip of where to park for free. Thanks Dee for opening your beautiful home. We hope to come back!

A great place to stay in East Jim Thorpe

My wife and I enjoyed a three-night stay, and you enjoyed it a lot. Dee was very friendly and flexible, and our unit came with a notebook full of things to do in the area. She also responded right away when we found a small problem in one of the bathrooms, which was quickly fixed. The unit has four bedrooms, so it was a bit large for us, but we would not hesitate to stay there again, and perhaps bring our grandchildren the next time.

Fun in Jim Thorpe

This property was just about a mile from the center of Jim Thorpe. The property was very clean and well appointed with everything a guest would need to enjoy comforts away from home. I loved the fact that the owner left fresh flowers, and cookies and coffee at the coffee bar. The beds were comfortable, and the outdoor deck was lovely. I would recommend this guesthouse to anyone wanting to explore Jim Thorpe.

Fantastic Family setup

We LOVED this house. Best supplied kitchen ever! We did most of our meals in the house and never came across something we needed that wasn’t there. Our kids (22 and 23 years old) could wander around historic Jim Thorpe at night and checkout the bars and then walk home. Very close to a great grocery store (Jim Thorpe Market). The unit had great layout, space, and privacy as well as wonderful spacious common areas. Beds were really comfortable and I loved the towels. :) We would love to come back! Liz

Beautiful Home

Just stayed here for only two days and wish I had made it longer. I have to say the Owners were the absolute BEST. Dee and her husband Mark are always available if needed. Their response is fast and they are very accommodating. I would love to also say how CLEAN the rental is!!! Never have I stayed at a place where I didn't wish I had brought my disinfecting wipes. No need here you will see how clean it is. There is tons of literature in the home for you to view if you are undecided on what to do. Directions are left on how to use the TV, the coffee bar has a choice whether you want to brew a pot of coffee or use a K-cup. syrup for flavoring, and flavored creamers. There are more than enough extra pillows and blankets, a closet full of board games as well as in the table in the living room. There is also a washer and dryer, the bathrooms has plenty of hand soap, body wash, and toilet paper, lol the good kind, the bath towels are nice and fluffy, not the flimsy cheap kind and there was more than enough for the 3 of us. I would definitely recommend staying here. We will be back. Need to spend more time at the beautiful state park nearby. Thank you Dee and Mark!! Anita, Erika, and Julie

Glen Onoko

3 night stay. Lovely house, thoughtfully furnished and decorated. My own house is 120 yrs old, so it's my style. *Clean! Comfortable. Quiet. In the front bedroom, you hear some morning street traffic. Our kids, 9 and 11, were with us so we made use of Pandora and the board games. Each review varies whether or not you can walk to the town center and how long it takes. Yes, you can walk over the bridge (pedestrian walkway on the left). It took us 20-something minutes each way, not hurrying. I walk double that every day. So if that much walking is inconceivable to you personally, then you might say it's too far. No regrets not staying right in town. It's very pretty and quaint, but little more than the usual touristy shops. Most places to eat are pubs/taverns, but we had a truly excellent meal at Moya, in town. Closer to the house, Union Publick House (also a bar) is a 10 minute walk and the food was very good. Kitchen is well-stocked, but I don't go on vacation to cook/clean. For breakfast nearby, we went to East Mauch Chunk Eatery and Bob's, both good, very friendly. If you google, you won't find many more food choices anyway, either near the house or in the town center. Decent bagel cafe, Perch, a short drive away, too. Dee left us a sample of cookies from 3 Kids Bakery, but they were closed during our stay. FYI, many shops and eateries are closed Tue, Wed. Lehigh Gorge is a short drive away. Many state parks, nature, hiking trails nearby. We enjoyed Beltzville, Hickory Run.

All we have to say, this place was excellent! Our host was extremely thoughtful. We came into a place that has just about all the basics you would need for a stay. Everything from coffee, to shampoo and conditioner, to good quality bedding and towels. This place was properly cleaned and cared for. Our host takes pride in what they do. If you are staying in Jim Thorpe, this is an excellent place to stay!
