Welcoming and the perfect get-away! Big thanks to Ken and Denise for making a birthday weekend extra special with their hospitality. They listened to our interests and offered fabulous suggestions on how to best enjoy our Jim Thorpe visit. And the breakfast...Ken makes breakfast a five-star experience! Delicious and made to order! Denise's home-baked treats take the visit over the top! You won't find a similar experience. Best B&B stay to date. Highly recommend and will return.

Exceptional experience
Owners are hands on and very personable. The breakfast and home made snacks were the best I've had at a B&B. The short walk to downtown was enjoyable as well

A great weekend in Jim Thorpe
We had a wonderful time staying here. The house was clean and comfortable. It was far enough off the main block to be a little quieter but an easy 15 min walk to the center of town. Great breakfasts (that also served as lunch) and super friendly hosts

Amazing stay in an amazing house with amazing people
Ken and Denise were amazing. They couldn't have been more accommodating or friendly. They ensured we were comfortable with the door codes and then gave us some recommendations for dinner. The house is beautiful. Breakfast was amazing. A 10 minute walk into town. My girlfriend and I will only stay here when we come back and we've already recommended it to our friends. You will not be disappointed if you stay here.

Amazing Stay, Great town!
We stayed here for a quick getaway, and it was perfect! Ken and Denise are amazing hosts, very welcoming, knowledgeable about the town, and keep an exceptional B&B. We felt immediately welcomed, and our room was gorgeous! There was wine and cheese upon arrival, always a continuous supply of snacks and beverages available and Denise’s baked goods were OUTSTANDING! Ken’s breakfast can’t be beat! DELICIOUS! They obviously put so much care and passion into what they do, and are just lovely people in general. We will definitely be back!
