The property was amazing and close to everything! The worst part of our stay was that both of us work hard and were looking for a quiet getaway weekend. We had the downstairs apt and let me tell you...back and forth, back and forth, back and forth running was all we heard. The only break we had was when the upst6airs family left and went out! There is no thermostat but there was electric heaters, we had a fairly warm weekend so not sure how it would be on a 20 degree day. View was amazing and the place was filled with love and beautiful decor. I would definitely return but will look into staying upstairs this time!

We loved Josephine’s place. It was perfect for a family of 5. Also the location was great. Just close enough to walk to town.
We will be back. Thank you!

The property was clean and as advertised. The only issue is you are in the basement so if they have guests above, you will hear every step they take.

Three adults stayed over 4th of July in this apartment located in the basement of a home with outside entrance and had great parking for two cars. Don’t recall seeing it was a basement apartment before we rented, and upstairs was rented (dogs allowed and we heard the dog a bit but thankfully no real barking. We are dog people so it was ok but could be an issue if you don’t like that. ) Biggest thing was that thermostat was upstairs in other unit so we had no control of the temperature. Thankfully it was cooler and the beds (very comfortable) had very nice thick warm comforters
Unit has two bedrooms and two bathrooms, is nicely finished and very clean. Living room sofas were older and a bit worn and could have been more comfortable but were ok. Lots of light in two large windows and full glass door along the outside wall of main room. Lots of high hat lights with confusing light switches but keep looking and most were working. Nice room to entertain in.
Bedrooms both have entrance into a bathroom- one has nice soaker jacuzzi tub and great towels ( does not have shower which we did not know.) That bedroom does have stack washer / dryer that works and open rod for hanging clothing. Would look nicer if there were curtains to close off those areas but are very functional. No lamp on the end table which would have helped but a high hat light in the corner of the room does provide some light. Second bedroom didn’t have a closet area but totally private bright bathroom with large walk-in shower that looks to possibly be ADA compatible . There was a bedside lamp in that room. Both rooms had high window well windows. Curtains did not quite cover windows but were ok.
Kitchen not heavily furnished but was ok and very cute. Did have a small coffee maker and some coffee. Dishwasher didn't look to work and was not secure in the cabinet so we didn’t use.
No directions / info in advance sent from owner but owner was pretty responsive to questions within a hour or so. Upstairs renting neighbor gave us wifi password which was nice the unit has wifi. Had access to Netflix, Prime etc.
Overall this is a cute unit that maybe is a self finished unit. There were a few non-finished things like the dishwasher, some non finished baseboards in the second bedroom, and an electric plug that had unfinished drywall. The thermostat could have been a game changer but worked out for us.
Located up a steep hill from historic area, restaurants etc.

Very nice place , loved the convenience to town, however I thought it was a standalone apartment it’s really bottom level of a house. The outside was in the process of being redone and will only add enhancement with a couple chairs to sit and have coffee and enjoy the view! However the outdoor motion detector lights did not come on at night and made it very difficult trying to carry an infant as it was completely dark. I would recommend adding the hardware to the kitchen cabinets and a couple amenities such as more glasses and an iron and ironing board, but overall a very nice place!

If it rained the whole time I was there. I would have been perfectly happy to stay inside the whole time. But it didn’t. We had three full days of adventures. The place was so nice to come home to at the end of each day. The view from the front door , windows and the area outside was real nice. I can’t text enough to fully explain how much I enjoyed staying there.

EXCELLENT LOCATION
Perfect location, short walk to downtown. Close to everything. Laundry in apt., everything you could possibly need to make the stay amazing. Beds very comfortable. The only thing I would recommend is making outside pathway and steps to basement apartment safer and adding hardware to kitchen cabinets. I would be afraid of having someone who is elderly try to navigate the steps to apartment. Will def stay again.

Th apartment was large with open space great for a gathering of friends. The kitchen is new and well equipped with a large gas stove, dishes, silverware and glasses. Having 2 full bathrooms was a big plus except the whirlpool tub got water on the floor even when he water was filled correctly.
Also, I highly recommend fixing the concrete steps outside. They are an accident waiting to happen. The apartment is close to town but on a vet steep hill so if you have done physical limitations you may have to drive into town.
We were happy to see a recycling can on the property.

Great place to stay
Communication was great, place was clean and well equipped. Location is all the way on top of the hill, so walking to town is not for everyone but it is doable. Only recommendation we have is to provide some new updated outdoor furniture and to fix the steps and walkway from parking lot to front door. It’s not safe and really needs to be addressed. Otherwise we had a blast and enjoyed our stay.

Jim Thorpe Get-A-Way
The property was great, there was plenty of room for two couples if needed. The rooms were very clean and access to the property manager was flawless. The only thing was prevalent was some aging of the outside stairs and patio structures.

Comfortable, Cozy & Perfect Location!
Josephine's Apartment was the perfect location. The purpose of our trip was hiking and we were close to many trails, especially the one in the back of the house! We were minutes from downtown and close to all restaurants. Weather wasn't that great during our stay so we ended up spending lots of time in the cozy apartment playing games and enjoying the tub. It was a wonderful stay for my family of 4 and I'd highly recommend!

Nice 2 bedroom
Really nice, newly updated space. Love the open space from the kitchen to the living room. Beds were comfortable. Bathrooms were clean and nice. Everything you could need for a few days away. Loved the trail right off the backyard. Owner communication was excellent and quick.

We had some issues with double booking and the guests stayin upstairs were relatively noisy. But we still had a great weekend! We did alot of walking around through town and it was nice to come back to a place where we could make a good homemade meal! The spa tub and shower were great as well!
