    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

    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.

    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!

    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. The house is in a safe environment and we were able to walk into town. The hosts were helpful and friendly. Thanks for a great stay.

    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!

    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
