Looking to escape your car on your next getaway? Victorian living modernized!

This private bedroom with free parking (a hot commodity in Jim Thorpe!) is a pleasant walk across the bridge (10 min) from downtown. You are close enough for a morning cold brew, afternoon mountain bike ride, or evening cocktail without the need for your car.

After connections with local shopowners and artists down the turn of the century street, return to the peaceful little deck to admire the mountain views.

The shared first floor includes a large living room with decorative accents inspired by the town’s fascinating history. The well-appointed kitchen leads to a small back porch. Enjoy a drink of choice after a long day of whitewater kayaking, mountain biking, or skiing on the rear porch illuminated with lights, prayer flags, and Pennsylvania Dutch hex signs.

The staircase leads to the second floor, with your private bathroom and bedroom which includes a comfortable queen size bed and hand-refinished 1930s Art Deco furniture. My office is on this floor, but because my bedroom and living area are on the third floor, guests have noted that this floor feels like their own apartment!

AN OFF STREET PARKING SPOT IS INCLUDED WITH OUR SPACE. Please park in the driveway rather than on the one-way street. Jim Thorpe is a town built during the 19th Century well before cars so parking in the downtown is limited, but you can easily walk or bike across the bridge and leave your car in the driveway!

My small chihuahua lives with me and may be around during your stay. She is friendly and curious- she will jump on the bed if you let her; please just shoo her away!

Guests can access the kitchen to make meals and use the living room if desired.

Other things to note
Retreat from your everyday to this Mauch Chunk Experiences Retreat. We look forward to welcoming you to the kind of space that encourages people to pause and reflect on the beauty of a small detail they may have never noticed before.

Mauch Chunk Retreats strives to share and educate visitors about the history of the town while offering a peaceful retreat space in this historic 1890 home. We are available to arrange hikes, walking tours, and curated educational experiences at your request, many off the beaten tourist path.

We are not a bed and breakfast or short term rental, but can direct you to wonderful places to eat.

Tourism Note: Many restaurants and popular sites in town take Wednesday as their day off. Bars and restaurants also close quite early (10pm for many places). If you are looking for nightlife, this stay will not be a good fit for you.
