Josephine’s place in town- downtown Jim Thorpe

This victorian style home is located at the heart of Jim Thorpe, neighboring the Asa Packer Mansion and the Harry Packer Mansion. Only half a block from the town train station which offers scenic rides in between the mountains. The apartment has a direct view of the surrounding mountains and the Lehigh river and is located at the entrance of the switchback Trail. It has plenty of parking space and direct access to this beautiful trail leading to the Mauch Chunk Lake Park.

Perfect location

Location was great! Few min walk to town. Though the walk up the hill back is a challenge. Host was great and responded quickly. House was clean and spacious and fit my whole family comfortably. Would recommend to anyone looking to stay at Jim Thorpe.

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.

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.

Great time in Jim Thorp!

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.

Good Times in Jim Thorpe

The house was very clean and the beds were extremely comfortable; two of the most important things when traveling! Not all bedrooms have air conditioning, which might be fine in milder weather, but it was very hot the four days we were there. However, the first floor was cool and comfortable, as were the other air-conditioned bedrooms. We had a great time and a happy stay at Josephine’s House : )

Great Place

Really great location and a good-sized place. We easily fit 3 couples and 7 children (ages 3 to 7). We loved sitting out on the front and back porches, and the kids loved playing in the yard. The living room was very comfortable and lots of seating. The walk into town is a bit steep, but there was enough of a shoulder and sidewalks that it felt safe, even with lots of little kids. The AC units worked great on all 3 levels. We would stay here again.

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

Love Jim Thorpe area. Even a little snow to make it prettier. Great location for everyone to do a little of their own thing. The house was nice. A little small for our larger group, but we made it work cause the location was great. Owner was very helpful when needed.

Great house in Jim Thorpe

The house was very large with plenty of room for our family. The photos on the website didn't do the house justice. It was larger and prettier in person. I found it well equipped and very livable. It was extremely cold the weekend we stayed because of the polar vortex, but the home remained warm and cozy. I would definitely recommend and would love to stay again.

One time stay

The house itself was ok but there is not much to do no board games or anything like that. The walk to the town is short walking distance but not much to do there either. In general it was worth to se it once old fashion town. There is no dishwasher which i would strongly recommended.

Group stay in Jim Thorpe

I was looking for a location that was convenient for my adult children and I to have a holiday gathering. This property came up from my filters and fit the bill. Communication was great. It was easy to reserve and share info with all who were coming. House was very clean, and more spacious than I imagined. It accomodated our large group comfortably. Very happy with price and experience

Fun Times in Jim Thorpe

Fun Friends weekend in Jim Thorpe! The house was awesome with plenty of room located just up the hill from town. The hill was a little challenging but non the less we walked to and from town both days. We took the train ride and strolled the beautiful streets of Jim Thorpe. Plenty of restaurants and bars to relax and enjoy. This was our 1st time in Jim Thorpe and already looking forward to visiting again some day! Thankyou so very much!!

Fun filled family weekend

The house was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed. All the beds and furniture were very comfortable. The back porch and yard were a nice bonus for hanging out and having a safe space to move around with a two year old. We are big walkers, so we braved the hill every day to walk to town which really isn’t that bad. It was a heck of a lot better than trying to find parking. Also, all the trails we hit were in very close driving distance. We have rented from Patricia before at another property of hers. She is a great host. Thanks again!

Great location!

This place was great. Location was awesome and off street parking a plus! Plenty of sleeping space. Living room has pull out sofa which we didn’t need to use. Second floor has 3 BR with queen beds and a 4th BR with twin bed and twin trundle. My husband and I loved the third floor which was very spacious with a king bed and private bath with shower and claw foot bath tub which I loved. There was a small room off the 3rd floor suite that had two more twin beds which we didn’t need. All the beds were very comfortable. The center of town was a 10 minute walk down a very steep road and a very good workout of a walk home. We love Jim Thorpe and this house was perfect for our family weekend!! I would definitely stay here again!!
