A great small cozy place to get away from the city
This was almost a spur-of-the-moment booking - not many properties were available, so we chose this one.
At first, I was reluctant to book this one (there were other alternatives) because the photos made it look cold. But then I remembered that almost all photos of such properties are shot at wide angles, making things larger than they are, and figured it would be okay. I was right - this place was awesome.
It was small, cozy, warm, and was just right for a couple taking a break from the city over a Halloween weekend. Jim Thorpe was just about an easy 25-minute drive, as were local restaurants and even Walmart, for a few things we were missing (coffee cream was all but sour). Also, we liked a wide selection of coffee!
The beds were on a softer side which was okay for a couple of days, but it might have been a problem had I stayed longer.
Everything was squeaky clean and shiny. Given that this is a house in the woods, being this clean is a super achievement. Way to go!
I had an issue communicating with a property manager at the start - the email listed on all the communications didn't work. Another problem was that I got an unlock code for the box with the house keys around the time we arrived at the property, and given a spotty cell phone reception, it took me a while to actually get the unlock code. But these were minor issues.
Overall, I would say we had a great time, and if we have a chance - we will definitely be coming back to this place.
