1 Bedroom House in Jim Thorpe

Looking to slow down on your next getaway? Victorian living modernized in a home from 1890.
This private bedroom and full bath on the second floor with free parking (a hot commodity in Jim Thorpe!) is a pleasant walk across the bridge (10 min) from downtown. You are close enough for a morning cold brew, afternoon bike ride, or evening cocktail without the need for your car.
This is my primary home which you will be sharing; PLEASE READ THE FULL PROPERTY DESCRIPTION BEFORE BOOKING- I want to ensure I can meet the needs of what you are looking for, as there are MANY housing options in Jim Thorpe, and our offering is unique. Merci!

THE EXPERIENCE:
Mauch Chunk Retreats looks forward to welcoming you to an inspired, simple retreat space to connect you to the history of the Anthracite Coal Region PA. Intentional design & lifestyle elements (local art, repurposed period furniture, historical library ) encourage our visitors to step away from the ¨grind¨ and re-connect to the simpler things in life.
We are available to recommend hikes, walking tours, and curated educational experiences at your request, many off the beaten tourist path.
__________________________________________
THE HOUSE:
You will enter through the front door, and a staircase leads to your private bedroom which includes a comfortable queen size bed and hand-refinished 1930s Art Deco furniture. The full bath on the second level is private for your use. It is not attached to the room, it is slightly down the hall.
My floor of the house is primarily the third floor.
My small chihuahua lives with me and may be around during your stay. She is friendly and curious- she will jump on the bed if you let her; please just shoo her away!
_______________________________________
IMPORTANT DETAILS:
1) This is a listing for a private room, not an entire house. While guests are welcome to use the living room, please be aware that this is my primary home where I live with my partner, so we may be using that space too. If you plan on a long stay and need full-time access to a living room, consider booking an entire home or studio.
2) While pets are welcome (and many guests with pets have happily stayed!), please only book with your dog if they are quiet and easygoing. I cannot accommodate barking dogs out of respect for my neighbors (and my own chihuahua who herself is a bit barky!). Dogs cannot be left along in the room while you are out.
3) In an effort to travel more sustainably and reduce single-use plastic, I offer guests unlimited fresh filtered water from our reverse osmosis system and cloth towels rather than paper towels. Soap, shampoo, and conditioner are provided but please bring any other disposable essentials you may need.
***Please also note that our home does NOT have central AC.***
If you are highly sensitive to heat, keep in mind that the house was built in 1890. The AC unit in the room runs great but I ask guests to please turn it off when they leave. This is standard practice in the countries in the world where I have spent a lot of my life and I try to run an ecofriendly house. If you let me know when you will be arriving back, I will be more than happy to turn it back on for you shortly before you arrive. Thank you for your understanding and efforts to conserve energy!
______________________________
AN OFF STREET PARKING SPOT IS INCLUDED WITH OUR SPACE. Please park in the driveway rather than on the one-way street. Jim Thorpe is a town built during the 19th Century well before cars so parking in the downtown is limited, but you can easily walk or bike across the bridge and leave your car in the driveway!
We are not a bed and breakfast or short term rental, but can direct you to wonderful places to eat.
Tourism Note: Many restaurants and popular sites in town take Wednesday as their day off. Bars and restaurants also close quite early (10pm for many places).

Summary: Stayed here for a night, since all the hotels required a two-day stay which wasn’t good for us. Jennifer was a very nice host and our bathroom and bedroom were neat and clean. The decor of the bedroom is charming. It’s exactly a mile walk to the main drag at Jim Thorpe, with a beautiful view of the gorge as you cross the bridge. We would definitely stay here again.

Summary: We had a delightful time in Jim Thorpe. The VRBO was nestled in the upper mountain village of Jim Thorpe. One mile from town, provided a beautiful morning and evening walk along the railroad and river! Quiet little Oasis, hosted by a friendly host, was a wonderful place to stay. The bed was great! Off-street parking was fabulous!!

Summary: Incredibly nice room with own bathroom for use during our stay. Comfortable, clean and great location to walk into a very busy Jim Thorpe during the Fall Foliage Festival. Jennifer was fantastic with communications. If you stay (highly recommended), make sure to take time to bond with Walden, an incredibly friendly chihuahua, Also, a great benefit during the busy weekends is a dedicated parking spot. There is also a brewery in a quiet area of the neighbourhood about a block and half away with great beer. You can't go wrong with this location!
