Photos and Description of the Jim Thorpe vacation house rental
2 bedrooms, One Bathroom, sleeps 6 in a bunkhouse style layout

Finally a vacation rental with the younger traveler in mind, but just as suitable for small families and groups of any age. Located in the quaint town of Palmerton and outfitted with all you need for a week or a weekend of action and adventure. Centrally located to all of the area attractions..15 minutes from Blue Mountain Ski area, ...15 minutes to Jim Thorpe and all the outdoor activities centered there. You will find this the perfect spot to relax and recharge between activities. If you are searching for an affordable place to call home for a few days of exploring the Poconos or for your ski or rafting trip, this is the place. The house sleeps 8, has WiFi, a full electronic entertainment package, and linens. A fully equipped kitchen, a huge 16 x 16 rear elevated deck with an amazing view of the Blue Mountain and the Appalachian trail, perfect for parties and entertaining. This is not a destination house, but it is basic and affordable accommodations for the group of adventure travelers who prefer to stay together, have the economy of doing your own food preparation, and want an amazing outdoor common area to spend time together at any hour of the day.

Our other property (913985) has over 27 Five Star reviews in less than a year of doing business as a vacation rental, that is more than anyone else in the Pocono Mountains on HomeAway! We intend to continue that trend in the newest addition to our business with this two bedroom house located in the Mayberryish town of Palmerton, which is a town of 5000 people about a 15 minute ride from Jim Thorpe. Offering comfortable sleeping for 6 or friendlier accommodations for 8, this house has all the same amenities as our other property in Jim Thorpe. A full kitchen with all you will want or need for a great time away, off street (next door) parking for 4 cars, and a killer deck with an amazing view (will be completed this weekend, look for the pictures!!) This really is an indoor/outdoor property, with the rear elevated deck adding significant value to the property as a 3 season place to spend time with friends, have a great deck party, and have some fun. The house is in an area of town where noise is not a major issue, and so I am opening the house to the younger traveler over 21. The deck and landscaping in the rear of the house has a taste of Latin America, with various elevations, and great landscape lighting, a big gas grill, shade, and plenty of seating.. simply put you couldn't ask for more in an outdoor entertainment area. Inside, you will find all your linens, wifi internet, washer and dryer, a 42' flat screen with streaming Netflix dedicated to the house, and much more. While not as convenient as our other property, it should appeal to those travelers who want a place to reconnect with friends, throw a party, play some music, and basically have a good time while still being an easy drive from all the action in Jim Thorpe and Blue Mountain Ski Area. My thought is that for the younger traveling group who do not have the financial resources to fill every day with a new activity, this place will be perfect..

Also we are a member of the Ski and Stay Program at Blue Mountain, offering nice discounts on lift tickets, plus our lift tickets are good from open to close, and my newest place in Palmerton is close enough to drive to the Mountain in the morning, come home for lunch and a rest, and hit the slopes again late afternoon. And stay as late as you want! This is a huge value added feature...

Holiday 3 night weekends (Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, and New Years) are all flat rate up to 6 guests at $1100 all included, add

individual nights for only $109 per night all included, or bring it to a full 6 night/ 7 day week for only $290 more all included).

About Michael Green

A building contractor for most of my adult life, I now find myself semi-retired and able to enjoy some travel and freedom. My vacation rental business fits perfectly into my lifestyle, because it puts me in contact with others who like to explore new places and have the resources of time and money to follow through.. I also know from my travels what it is like to get to a destination and to have your pre-arranged accommodations wind up being a catastrophe... so my vacation rentals, while all being very different in personality and amenities, all provide a great value and are exactly as advertised...

Michael Green purchased this house in 2005
Why Michael Green chose Jim Thorpe

While renting my other property in the Borough of Jim Thorpe which is very much upscale, I realized that the area needed a property that was more suitable to a younger traveler. Something furnished in a simpler, less expensive way, with a great outdoor entertainment area, and where the noise and energy of a younger crowd would not be an issue.. this property fulfills all that and more, while still being central to all the activities in the Lehigh Valley area.

Beautiful Place

5 of 5
Submitted: January 17, 2013 Stayed: January 2013
The house was beautifully decorated and had all the amenities you could want. The kitchen was nicely organized as well as the living area, with a TV that included Netflix. The rooms slept eight people comfortably plus a large couch in the living area. The location was perfect, only 15 minutes from Blue Mountain. The next time my friends and I go skiing/snowboarding we will be staying here.
Owner's Response: Thank you Michael.. it is always a pleasure to have responsible younger guests like your group... I hope you all return next winter for another ski trip!
