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!!!

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.

Host profile image
At our VRBO location, we have a personal connection to this town and its wonderful attributes. We share your appreciation for the quiet atmosphere, stunning scenery, and the refreshing, clean air that fills the area. It is a place that holds a special place in our hearts. For me, spending time in nature and taking walks in the woods is not just a pastime but a source of energy and relaxation. The natural beauty that surrounds this town is truly captivating, and we want our guests to experience the same sense of tranquility and rejuvenation. In a delightful twist of fate, I had the pleasure of meeting my husband, Mark, in this very town. During that time, Mark and his family owned and operated the Hotel Switzerland, which has now transformed into the renowned Molly Maquires Pub and Steakhouse. This connection to the town's history and hospitality adds an extra layer of significance to our VRBO location. We are delighted to share our love for this town with our guests and hope that you, too, will find solace and joy in the quietude, breathtaking scenery, and fresh air that this place has to offer. It is our sincere desire to provide you with a memorable and peaceful stay that reflects the essence of this remarkable town.
