Great location for staying in Jim Thorpe. It is almost three hours out of New York City. If your there with anyone other than your immediate family there is only two bathrooms for bathing. One on the second floor and one on the third floor. The one on the third floor is up a very narrow staircase (not good for older folks or individuals with disabilities. Also, since it is on the third floor in a beautiful room the bathroom is open with no doors. There is an additional room on the third floor for children not adults. On the second floor that really only has 3 excellent bedrooms, there is another very small room really for children. One last thing to mention, many of the neighbors alerted us to the bears in the area and to make sure we did not leave garbage outside. We did go downtown and take a train ride, trolly car, experience all that the town square had to offer. You should buy your tickets early as well as if you are driving get there at least one hour before to find parking. We went on a Saturday and it was really crowded. Overall, the weekend stay was great and I would recommend Josephine's house to anyone visiting Jim Thorpe.

We absolutely loved our stay here! The property and the house are very beautiful with lots of thoughtful amenities. The location is wonderful and in easy walking distance to downtown as long as you’re okay with walking up/down the hill which was no problem for us! Would absolutely stay here again.

Comfortable & Roomy Home

We enjoyed our stay at this homey, clean and interesting house. The description on the VRBO site was complete and accurate. Loved the classic woodwork in this home. Close to center of town but we are all senior citizens so drove rather than walk the hills, but it is close enough to walk if you don't mind walking uphill to return. Also appreciated the off-street parking.

Beautiful home!

We had a great stay. There were 9 of us and a pet. Bedrooms are spacious, mattresses comfortable and linen clean. Plenty of space to hang out in kitchen and dining room, furniture in living room very cozy, there was even a lighted Christmas tree! Communication was amazing with Patricia responding within minutes to any query. She also updated me on status of roads and had salt on porch ready for use if necessary. Would definitely recommend!!

Nice and reasonably priced house in Jim Thorpe

House clean and nicely appointed. Heating system odd and a bit hard to control. Pillows poor. Beds ok. Not in walking distance to town as we had thought, especially in freezing cold weather with children.

Left stranded

The property owner did not send me code to house and did not respond to text messages or phone call nessage. Vrbo could not reach her either. I had to do refund with vrbo and try to find a hotel to take in 11 people for 2 nights near area and as we had an event planned. A very difficult situation

We had a wonderful time in JT! The house was quite cozy and quaint. Clean. Property manager replied within a few minutes. We arrived early and we were able to enter the home which was greatly appreciated. Rooms are large, air conditioning was wonderful too. Walking distance to Downtown. Would definitely stay there again.

Wonderful Weekend

We enjoyed the great location of Josephine's house! Just a short walk (downhill) to town and all its offerings. We all slept comfortably and plenty of towels and extra blankets were provided. We enjoyed the back porch alot! Plenty of off-street parking for our group.
