Log Home in a Peaceful Wood in Jim Thorpe

Enjoy this clean, private, modern log home on 11 wooded acres, @3 miles from the center of the town of Jim Thorpe, the final resting place of James Francis Thorpe, perhaps the greatest athlete of the 20th century. The Cabin on Dew Drop Drive comfortably sleeps up to 8 people, but with enough space both inside and out so everyone can find the privacy they desire! Relax on the leather couches by the remote-controlled gas fireplace, or lounge on the sunny front porch while keeping an eye out for hummingbirds, turkeys, deer and the occasional fox or bear. Enjoy s'mores around the fire pit, and hike the woods in season to forage for wild huckleberries and blueberries. Send the kids out to play in the "tree house" (a mere 6 feet off the ground), or to ride the zip-line (weight limit 125lbs.).

You'll stay just a couple miles away from the Jim Thorpe Memorial, and you'll have easy access to the Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway, white water rafting on the Lehigh River, bicycling and hiking in Glen Onoko State Park, swimming and fishing in nearby Mauch Chunk and Beltzville Lakes, ski resorts (Jack Frost/Big Boulder, Blue Mountain and Camelback), historic sites, art galleries, concert venues, wineries, restaurants, bars and shopping. And at the end of the day, retire to the Dew Drop Inn, our Irish-style pub downstairs!

All linens and towels are provided (bring your favorite pillow if you'd like), and you'll have access to plenty of puzzles, toys, art supplies, card and board games, a diverse selection of movies on DVD, and even a bit of exercise equipment. The kitchen and laundry room are fully equipped for your use, and WiFi is free.

Perfect Cabin Oasis for Families With Kids
This cabin is the perfect stay for a family looking for a cabin setting with access to amenities. The cabin has everything you could possibly need for all ages and is spotlessly clean! We were a group ranging from 3 years old to 45. Kids were thrilled with the toys, tree house, zip line, fire pit and the bunk room. Adults had everything needed to make meals, relax, and have fun too! Playing darts in the pub was an added bonus. The cabin is also just minutes from downtown Jim Thorpe. We will be back and you should book it!

This place was incredible. Not at all what I expected. So many wonderful surprises. We will definitely be coming back again. We were there to visit Jim Thorpe, but we ended up staying home on Saturday night just so we could enjoy the coziness of the cabin.

Simply magnificent!
This home is unique and flawless! Pictures and descriptions cannot do it justice. Every inch was spotlessly clean, it was incredibly well organized, and beautifully and creatively decorated. The outdoor spaces are very interesting to explore and peaceful as can be. Every room is comfortable and there is plenty of space in the kitchen. The pub is just the coolest! The owners clearly love their home, and you will love it, too.

Great weekend
Spent a long weekend here with my husband an y best friend and her husband, such a great weekend. Close enough to town that it didn’t feel like forever to get there but far enough out to enjoy the cabin in the woods feeling. Great size for us and would have had room for the kids too if they came with. Very clear. And host sent email few days before with information on cabin and the local area. Checking in and getting in cabin was super easy. Will book again

Dont look at any other cabin near Jim Thorpe.....This is the one!!!!
I cannot say enough about this property. Wayne was such a great host and thought of every minor detail to make our stay amazing. We were celebrating a friends 50th birthday and it was everything I wanted it to be. Check in was simple, and the owner was in contact with us to show us a picture of a bear that just came through the property the morning of our stay. It was so peaceful with one a handful of vehicle coming down the road. We saw deer and turkey and took a hike through the property. The bar was well stocked! Thank you so much for your hospitality!! We will be back soon!

So much to say about this property! It is absolutely beautiful and incredibly clean. The house is spacious, cozy and quaintly decorated. You can tell the hosts take a lot of pride in the property and they thought of a lot of little details to make the stay comfortable. The were quick with communication and left detailed yet simple instructions for the stay. The rooms are comfortable and spacious. The downstairs was so fun, like a night out without having to leave the home. We would absolutely love to stay again!

Hidden Gem on Quiet Side of Jim Thorpe
Wayne is amazing and very responsive. The property was very clean and well kept. The family put a lot of time and effort into decorating this property and keeping it up very well. We were here second week of November 2023 and it was great. Leaves were still changing and beautiful colors to be seen. This home is wonderful and it was great to witness so many other people being kind and decent towards the decorations and other honorary in kind items in the home. We will be going back again! Also if you are vegan, vegetarian or aware of the products you use (toxins bleh) this home is well supplied with Dr.Bonners and a lot of the items we like to use to keep the harsh chemicals of the world out of our bodies. A small item that was noticed and greatly appreciated.

Perfect mountain getaway
We loved this place. We came with 2 families with 3 children between us. The place is spacious with scenic grounds. The outer porch is perfect for relaxing and watching the view, and you're just 10 minutes from downtown Jim Thorpe as well as some beautiful state parks. The real gem here is the dew drop inn in the basement. We were blown away with the attention to detail and atmosphere of the irish pub in the basement - didn't need to leave the house to enjoy a night cap in an authentic irish pub.

Myself and 5 of my friends stayed here for a bachelorette weekend. The cabin’s location was perfect. You felt secluded but were just a short drive from all the fun stuff at Jim Thorpe. Wayne was super helpful with giving us suggestions of things to do in the area. The cabin was clean and comfortable. I wish we could have stayed longer.

Favorite Rental
My five highs school friends and I have been getting together for the past 17 years every May, visiting different locations such as Cape May, Cape Cod, National Harbor, Rehoboth Beach, the Hamptons and Lake George and this is the first year that all six of us have said that this is the place that we can come back to every year in the future. This log cabin home has it all and leaves you feeling like you have been wrapped in a warm hug. It is immaculately clean, meticulously decorated and no detail has been overlooked. A short drive from Jim Thorpe for shopping and dining, this cabin provided the best atmosphere to wake up to and to return to at the end of the day. And the pub! We spent our Saturday night in the pub having appetizers, drinks and playing darts and dancing. Other bonuses we enjoyed were the walking paths on the property, the zip line, the firepit and the front porch. It is a beautiful home and the photos don't even do it justice. Thanks, Wayne! We will be back next year!

Peacefulness in the woods
This cabin is gorgeous. Very clean! Private. Peaceful. Love sipping my coffee on the deck listening to the wind blow and birds sing. Great amenities. Wonderful hosts. Comfortable beds. Plenty of bathrooms. Enjoyed doing a puzzle to the sun shining in the large windows. So relaxing and close to stores and town if you need supplies or like to take a good hike. Hosts are very easy to communicate with.
