About this property

Lodging at it's best! Stay in an upscale Suite in the heart of Jim Thorpe. Van Pelt's Suite on Opera Square is directly across the street from the Mauch Chunk Opera House on Opera House Square! This suite has just been created and feels like you're staying in Soho, NYC. Brand new pillow top mattress, brand new kitchen with all amenities, new reclining sofa, new smart TV and even a washer/dryer. Artwork by Joel LeBow hangs on the walls creating a beautifully relaxing atmosphere.

The house was originally owned by Lehigh Valley Navigation, then sold and the first floor was a barber shop. We did have a store also but decided to give this lovely space to guests traveling to Jim Thorpe to enjoy.

Come and make memories!

Great place in a convenient location

It was truly a joy staying in this lovely, spacious, very well appointed home right in the center of the historic and picturesque town of Jim Thorpe. Helen and Steve were the perfect host and hostess. They were there if needed, but gave us complete privacy. They have done a highly admirable job of stocking a very well re-modeled kitchen, stocked with everything you need and more - all high quality appliances, dishwater, cookware, the works! Although the weather was cold during our stay, the apartment was always warm and comfortable. The thermostat allowed us to control exactly how warm or cool we wanted the apartment to be. They even have a separate heater for the bathroom, which was also well appointed with a very nice shower and plentiful hot water. The bed was very comfortable, and plenty of linens were provided. The location of the apartment provides quick access to everything in town, and the provided parking space right across the street allowed us to just hop in our car and explore everything the beautiful area has to offer. We look forward to staying again.

Awesome Getaway Spot

This was my first trip to Jim Thorpe. The suite we rented was exactly as advertised! Very clean, and cozy and perfectly located on the Main Street of town. The suite also came with a parking spot, which was a huge plus. I highly recommend this unit to rent and we will definitely be back again. We had an absolute blast. The people couldn’t not be more friendly and welcoming. Several great restaurants to choose from all within walking distance of the rental.

Weekend Getaway

This rental was wonderful. Helen was very easy to work with and very kind. The suite had everything we needed and more. The location was perfect and within walking distance to so many fun spots. My husband and i parked our car, and didn't move it all weekend. It was amazing. We will definitely be back.

Weekend stay

This weekend stay was great! Upon arrival without realizing, we were an hour early, Helen, the property owner, was so gracious in letting us in and getting settled. The apt. Was fantastic and extremely comfortable. She made sure that we had everything, this home was fully equipped and she even added in a few snacks. We were located on the Main road where everything was happening, but really didn’t feel that way. I think the loudest sound was a few motorcycles from time to time. All in all it was a great stay, Helen was most accommodating, and I’d love to come back and rent her home again. Highly recommended. Thank you, Joan

Study Weekend in Jim Thorpe

I will be back! This apartment was lovely, comfortable, a well-appointed kitchen that was a pleasure to cook in; beautiful linens and towels, and an extremely comfortable bed: It had charm and grace. My host Helen and her husband were warm, helpful, and a genuine pleasure to meet. This was a work weekend for me. I needed a place free of distractions and creature comforts to prepare for an upcoming exam. This was it. Outside my door and a few steps down the street was Muggles Mug, great coffee, scones. Jim Thorpe is a charming town, the Van Pelt house was a charming house and Helen Van Pelt was a dear host. I will come back when I can enjoy the town and venture and explore more. Thank you for a perfect weekend.

Perfect Place to Stay in Jim Thorpe

If you are a couple looking to spend time in Jim Thorpe I can't imagine why you would consider staying anywhere else. Perfect location in the middle of the town, directly across from the Opera House. We saw a show on Friday night and we were back in our lodgings before the rest of the audience got down from the balcony. The dedicated parking space is a HUGE plus in this congested town. Lodgings are clean, comfortable and top notch. Great hosts!

Comfortable, cozy, zen, absolutely beautiful !!!!!

I stayed at the Helen Van Pelt place in Jim Thorpe Pa. for the holiday weekend as I had 2 consecutive shows at the Mauch Chunk Opera House. My stay was magnificent. Very clean, cozy, and very zen place. The bed, super comfy. This beautiful place was full of antiques to admire. Lovely art on the walls, the lovely glass window frame next to the bed. Lovely books for your reading pleasure. Flyers for the area with all of the happenings. Food was available, gluten free, all kinds of daily needs. Coffee, breakfast items, assorted beers, wine, and different foods are available. The shower was perfect, plenty of hot water with the best shower pressure you could ask for. Helen is a perfect host. I honestly could have moved in this place forever. Quiet and peaceful. My stay was 5 star plus. Thank You !!!!!!

About the host

Hosted by Helen Van Pelt

We are originally from NJ but my husband's grandparents lived in Coaldale, PA which is about 20 minutes from Jim Thorpe. When we were going to retire we decided to look around this area and found this magnificent town of Jim Thorpe. We love the history, the architecture and the fact that there is so much to do in this small town. When we bought our house we originally had an Antique Shop on the first floor of our 3 story home. Last year we decided to close the shop and created a luxury suite in the space. My husband, Steve, did all the work and I must applaud him for the gorgeous space he created!

Why they chose this property

This is one of the best locations in town. Galleries, Opera House, shops, restaurants, and all activities are right outside the door. We offer discounted tickets for shows at the Opera House and other stay packages. The suite is for 2 people only and is open all year.

What makes this property unique

You will also love this location since it is steps away from everything you need or want in town. The bonus is that the Mauch Chunk Opera House is directly across the street.
Also included in your stay is a Continental Breakfast and the suite is stocked with snacks, coffee and much much more!
