It features excellent dining and drinking options, plus the Mauch Chunk Museum and Cultural Center which details coal mining history and the life of the town's namesake, Native American athlete Jim Thorpe. Stroll the quaint Main Street and enjoy great local cafes, restaurants and shopping. Plus, Jim Thorpe has become a big tourist destination thanks to their popular festival weekends, celebrating various holidays, the arts and seasonal highlights. \-Lake Harmony. A vacation destination for generations, where you can rent a boat for the day or find popular brunch and dinner restaurants. We highly recommend grabbing a drink and a bite one of the casual waterside restaurants! \--Hiking – Enjoy the fresh air and abundant trails! The Poconos offers hiking experiences for those with any level of fitness or ability, from a short stroll around Weiser State Forest (tucked 100% within our community, only 5 mins away from the house!), a lovely lake (nearby Austin T. Blakeslee Natural Area is a short drive) to a more rugged trail at nearby Tank Hollow or Hickory Run State Park. And many more that you can discover on the very thorough AllTrails app! We highly recommend spending a day exploring Hickory Run State Park, which offers a lovely lake with a sandy beach and the unique Boulder Field. \--Rafting The Poconos is well-known for its world class whitewater! Enjoy dam-release weekends on the Lehigh River for extra thrills, or choose a calmer rafting experience that's fine for family members ages 4 to 94. \--Shopping Have a rainy day? No worries! The Crossings Premium Outlets is only 25 minutes away in Tannersville. Or wander around the charming Poconos' towns of Jim Thorpe or Stroudsburg.

We absolutely loved the house and its wooded setting— and we will definitely rebook the next time we travel to the Poconos! ##### Deidre M. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Rakesh R. 1 Aug 2025 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy #### Poorly Maintained – Disappointing Stay, Dirty, and Neglected We were disappointed with our recent stay at Skypine Lodge. While the booking process was smooth, the condition of the property did not meet expectations—especially considering the high cleaning fee charged for just a two-day stay.When we arrived, we noticed the property lacked basic cleanliness and upkeep. We struggled to get enough towels for our group, and after contacting the host, we were advised to wash and reuse the existing ones, with no further support.The patio floor was heavily soiled and appeared not to have been cleaned or power washed in quite some time. There were spider webs on the deck door and noticeable dust on several surfaces, including kitchen lights, the ice bucket lid, and dining furniture.Outdoor seating cushions were pulled from a bin and were damp and stained with green residue. The outdoor dining table was in poor condition, showing signs of wear and in need of replacement or repainting.One concerning issue was the hanging egg swing, which collapsed while in use, resulting in a minor injury to one of our guests. We had to repair it ourselves.Additional issues included dusty and unmaintained kids’ toys (like the telescope and bins), kitchen utensils with peeling non-stick coating, dull knives, and a non-functional mirror light in one of the bedrooms.Overall, while the location and potential of the lodge are appreciated, the lack of cleanliness, safety, and basic maintenance significantly impacted our experience.
