About this house rental
Nestled between the charming Victorian town of Jim Thorpe, PA — often called the “Switzerland of America” — and the scenic lakes, ski resorts, and Appalachian Trail of the Poconos and surrounding area, this retreat offers the best of small-town charm and outdoor adventure. Stroll through historic streets, explore the vibrant local art scene, or head to the mountains for a day of hiking, skiing, or lake-side relaxation. Once known for hosting Boy Scout song ceremonies, band performances, and holiday magic — including Santa’s legendary airplane arrival! — this property has been a beloved gathering spot for nearly a century. Guests today can still sense the joyful spirit that filled the grounds during its heyday. Perfect for families seeking a mix of adventure and relaxation,
couples looking for a romantic mountain getaway, friends reconnecting over nature, history, and good conversation. Come for the charm, stay for the stories. Whether you’re drawn by the call of the mountains, the allure of Jim Thorpe’s historic streets, or the whisper of the past in every room, the Deer Trail Inn promises a stay you’ll never forget. Located directly on Route 903, which is the main road between Jim Thorpe and the Poconos, you can drive to the downtown Jim Thorpe County Parking lot in under 10 minutes. Grocery, beer, and liquor store are only 5 minutes away. Walking distance to Thorpe’s 903 restaurant and just over 1 mile from Penn’s Peak restaurant and concert venue.
As our story board in the foyer states, this property has been in our family for 3 generations. It is managed, cleaned, and tended to by our family. We live about 10 minutes away, so we can be there fast if you ever need anything, but we’ll never be knocking on your door. Your privacy is yours.
The bedroom with the bunk bed is on the route to the main bedroom upstairs. There are also 2 service doors on the exterior of the house and they remain locked for your safety.
A bit of history: The original interior doors are over 100 years old and have been preserved as part of the home’s historic character, so they do not lock. Rest assured that all exterior doors lock securely for your safety.
