About this house rental

Nestled in Jim Thorpe, this attractive house for £159 per night is a great choice for your next trip. This welcoming small 2 story house is circa 1853 and is where the coal miners lived. We have created a very comfortable, private, cozy and safe environment for our guests. All you need to bring is your enthusiasm for a great vacation. Relax on the deck with a drink and your loved ones and look out over town through the beautiful scenery. Last summer we added a beautiful new patio with a gas Fire Pit on the side of the house! Also overlooking downtown, take your drinks outside and enjoy. Due to COVID I am no longer serving a continental breakfast! The Van Pelt House is right in the heart of town but secluded and private. Steps away from shops, biking, hiking, rafting, restaurants and entertainment. This is the perfect place for a romantic weekend or a family vacation. Walk into the house and you are in the living room with a Flat-screen Smart TV, Electric Fireplace, Air-conditioner and a brand new leather Queen Sleeper Sofa with a plush mattress. Continue on and you have a newly remodeled Fully Functional Kitchen with the attached Deck out back. We have added a lovely patio on the side of the house with a fire pit. A wonderful space to sit with a glass of wine and take in the view! If you choose to go out to eat, restaurants are all walking distance from the house. No need to drive anywhere. Upstairs is the Master Bedroom with very comfortable Queen Mattress ,Ceiling fan and Air-conditioning, a Sitting Room with a new Futon and a Full Bath with Claw Foot Tub. We have also added WiFi. The Van Pelt House is available for the weekend, week, month or for extended stays. PLEASE NOTE: THIS PROPERTY SLEEPS A MAXIMUM OF 4 PEOPLE. Pets only allowed Linens and towels are supplied.

The Van Pelt House is a #10. The home is beautiful, clean, charming and historical. We loved staying there and will definitely be back. The home sits above the Mauch Chunck Opera House with stunning views of Jim Thorpe. It is easily accessible to the downtown with so many restaurants, shops and activities in town. You cant go wrong with making Jim Thorpe a must do weekend getaway destination.

This property definitely gives you a historical feel! We were loving how close the house was to downtown Jim Thorpe but how it was out of the way of the hustle and bustle. We walked the whole down each day and didn’t have to worry about driving anywhere. Although it was small inside the house, there were two outside areas that we also enjoyed. This house was a great find!

A step stool would have been nice for use of the microwave. I am very short and could not reach it without getting on a chair, which were also a bit tall. Cream for coffee in the morning would have also been nice. We had a nice time and enjoyed our stay otherwise.

I can't imagine a nicer place to stay in Jim Thorpe than the Van Pelt House. It was in a great location, walking distance to most things. The house was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. We especially loved the outdoor space. We sat outside every evening. The deck overlooking the town and the trees made you feel you were alone in a treehouse. The new firepit area was private and beautiful at night. We loved the party lights around the outside areas. Communication with the owner was very easy and she even had treats waiting for us when we checked in. We were also very happy to be able to take our dog with us. We couldn't help but wonder about the coal miners and others that have lived and stayed in that house over its approximately 170 year history. If we are ever back to Jim Thorpe, we would love to stay at Van Pelt House again. This house is perfect for romantic getaways or small families.

Great property - Helen is a great host. We parked in the designated spot and never needed to move the car all weekend. If you are physically able the walk in either direction to downtown Jim Thorpe is quick - one direction is steeper than the other. So quiet. Great deck with gas fire pit accessible from front and back of property. Another deck has table off the kitchen. Lovely welcoming fresh flowers, wine, snacks, etc. from host. Nice touch. High quality linens in bedroom and bath.

We loved our 2 night stay at this clean, cozy, dog friendly house. We never moved the car after we arrived except to pick up a pizza one night. So close to everything. House is exactly as pictured, small but perfect for a couple (second bedroom great for kids). Everything worked for us and we had no issues. Highly recommend Jim Thorpe and this property.

The property was perfect. A short walk to everything. It is up the small hill behind the town but definitely walkable. The host was very attentive. Nice outdoor sitting area with fireplace. Would stay here again!!

Cute and cozy home. Love the neighborhood, quite yet in the middle of everything. House is exactly what you would expect from an old row home. Nice back porch and side porch. Neighbors were great. Eat at Moya and Stone Row Pub and Eatery, both are great after hiking and biking. The hill to the left when you exit the house will give you a workout, but we used it to our advantage and tackled it more than 10 times. If you go to the right instead it is an easier but longer walk. Both are great! Amazing weekend. Thanks for having us.

Great location- right off the Main Street. You do have to be somewhat mobile because, really, either way down to the shops is a bit of a hill- just more so the one way. Also I would suggest to not go on Tues and Weds if you are going for a short stay- all but 3 bar/restaurants are closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays! Not kidding-practically nothing is open on Tuesday and Wednesday! Still we had a great time biking and walking around.

Great stay!

Property was very clean and just as described. Bed was super comfy. Very charming little house with a lovely little deck surrounded by trees just off the kitchen. Another lower deck area with a fire pit is also inviting, but we did not use it. Easy walk to town (you can opt to skip the very steep hill and head in the other direction to take a little bit of a longer, but nice, walk to get to town). Property included everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. Communication with owner was speedy and excellent.

My husband and I visited Jim Thorpe for our anniversary. Helen’s place is very quaint and clean. Also a short walk to town. I would recommend you are somewhat in shape to be able to walk to town as there is a big hill. Also a steep flight of stairs to bedroom/bathroom in the house. The town is very lovely and we loved the Lehigh Gorge trail and train ride as the fall leaves were in full show. Helen was very pleasant and helpful!

We had a girl's mid-week getaway and it was the perfect solution for our workaday blues. The cottage was quaint with 2 bedrooms, a patio where we laid out a jigsaw puzzle and a gas fireplace that was fun to sit by at the end of the day. The shops are fun, the train ride was great and the eateries were busy but we stopped by a couple of them and they were good. It was a nice getaway.

Enjoyed my stay. Brought my 19 year old niece and my pets. Loved that I could bring my pets. Place was as described. Host was communicative as needed. Place was clean and cozy. Felt safe and was close to restaurants and tours. It is on-- a high street and there are two ways to get there. I advise taking the one that is less high. Gps may try to take you another way.
