The host is very friendly, respectful & responsive. It's only 6 min drive from Jim Thorpe, and also not far from sight seeings. I highly recommend it! We'll be sure to visit again!

You could walk into town if you wanted to! The home is beautifully designed. Our favorite parts were the hot tub and the living room. The fireplace is so quaint and we used it every morning and night. The home was incredibly clean and organized. The owner was so helpful. We felt safe and secure during our stay. ##### Ashley G.

Host was very nice. Location is convenient to Jim Thorpe. The house next to us was very run down, but that didn’t bother us in the least. I recommend this property as an excellent place to stay when you’re visiting Jim Thorpe. ##### Robert B.

Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jake A. 17 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication The only downfall about this place is the fact of the hot tub being inflatable and not truly a real hot tub, which was super disappointing. It has one jet and can hardly maintain a temperature of 93-94 degrees F. I will also say the neighbors connected to their house are extremely loud at any given hour of the day or night. The area that it is in also doesn’t exactly give off the safest feel. Other than that, the house and small backyard are very well done and cute. If it had a real hot tub and not an inflatable one, I would have rated this 5/5. ##### Jake A.

Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Colleen J. 21 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Communication, location The unit was clean and nicely decorated however the walls were paper thin and the neighbors were fighting and had their TV on loud late into the night so it was hard to sleep. The house on the other side was very junky. The area was isolated and didn't feel safe. We got back from our evening at 10:30pm to find that we were locked out. The host did not answer his phone, texts or VRBO messages until after 7am the next morning. After sitting in our car waiting for the host to get back to us, we ended up getting a locksmith at midnight who said that there shouldn't be a deadbolt on a door separate from the keyless entry. The keyless entry should be the only lock. The host did not make it clear that the keyless entry did not operate the deadbolt and he was not very kind about the whole situation. He didn't offer to pay any of the 386 bill which we are left with and will deal with through VRBO. ##### Colleen J.
