Perfect size and location for a few night stay in Jim Thorpe. It is not in the main center of the activity area, but a great one mile, very scenic walk to go back and forth. The unit has everything you need with a few extra amenities from the host. If I ever return to the area again, I’ll make another reservation at this property. Great bang for the buck.

Really enjoyed this rental, very clean, and everything we needed was provided. Only thing, you can’t walk into town easily but parking and Ubers were easy enough. Strongly recommend this rental if not looking to stay directly in the town.

Weekend Getaway

Nice little retreat for a getaway! The place was very clean and we were able to walk to downtown Jim Thorpe. It was a little further than we wanted but still doable. Especially after seeing the trouble with parking during the fall season. It was perfect for us!

Holiday in Jim Thorpe

We had a wonderful stay at Dee's VRBO. We were in town to see a friend perform in a holiday concert at the Mauch Chunk Opera House and this location was great for a home base for the weekend. Had a great dinner at the near by Union Public House "the only dive bar in Jim Thorpe".
