We enjoy watching the deer, turkey, and other wildlife in the wooded back yard from the sun porch and deck. The location is close to state parks, the Lehigh River, Big Boulder and Jack Frost Ski areas, Split Rock Resort, casinos, the town of Jim Thorpe, and other attractions. The areas provide opportunities for hiking, biking, water sports, swimming, fishing, skiing, snowboarding, tubing, shopping, gambling, and much more.
