The walk-in subway tile shower offers a refreshing experience, although please note that there is no bathtub. The "touchless" toilet adds a modern and hygienic touch to your stay.

Relax in the living room area, furnished with a comfortable leather Chesterfield sofa, where you can unwind and enjoy entertainment on the 43-inch TLC TV with built-in Roku streaming, including Netflix and other features.

Additional amenities provided for your comfort include whole house Wi-Fi access with a mesh network of Wi-Fi points, ensuring a seamless and reliable internet connection.

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!

Charming and comfortable
This property is on the other side of the river from the downtown area, but is a a short walk (<20 minutes). It's a decent hill, so there is a good cardio workout getting back. The history of the building is well documented and the decor is comfortable, with a good mix of antique and modern pieces.

Awesome host, lovely stay
This apartment was beautiful, very comfortable and the host was very attentive. She had flowers and a birthday card for me. It was my birthday weekend. We were looking to move into the area and she provided real estate flyers for the area. It was very easy to communicate with her. Any questions I had she got back very quickly. I love Jim Thorpe and we usually stay at the Inn on the west side but decided to try seeing how it would be living on the east side. This apartment was conveniently located so we could walk to the west side. Parking is free and she let me know where we could park and different amenities we could use. One of the best things she told me about was the Jim Thorpe app for all things Jim Thorpe. I can't say enough good things about the place and the host. Beautiful, fantastic visit!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

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.

A great place and a great hostess
The property has so much character; it’s clean and well maintained. It’s also within walking distance of downtown if you’re willing to walk some hills, which we did with no problem. Dee is communicative and provides helpful information along the way. She includes extras like coffee, waters, soaps, paper products, and more. We enjoyed our stay from start to finish.

This property was MUCH more than expected! Better than a regular hotel room for the same price. The personal touches were fantastic (a pack of chocolate chip cookies, a binder showing the history of the building telling that it was a confectionery then a bakery, etc.) Couldn't ask for better communications from the host.
