We have a 3 night minimum May 20 to September 5.
This property is set up perfectly to give you a fun place to spend your downtime between activities, to reconnect with friends and family, to relax and unwind, and make a plan for the evening or the next day. In fact the home is so inviting that you may not want to leave to take advantage of one of the multitude of activities the area has to offer! Throw some steaks on the grill, watch a few movies, read one of the many vintage or current books... the kids can head to the third floor for some play time, and before you know it your entire group will be refreshed. A wonderful location in the Borough of Jim Thorpe, within walking distance to the historic district, but far enough out to be quiet and with plenty of parking and freedom of movement. Minimum age to rent is 25...
