A Note From Your Host (The Owner):
Welcome to The Amsterdam House, my three-family Victorian home in Jim Thorpe. I'm Laura, the owner, and I purchased this property—specifically the second-floor NYC Suite—as a retreat from New York City.
My love for the Netherlands inspired the name, and the apartment's urban feel reminds me of Soho lofts. Having lived in NYC for over 30 years, I find Jim Thorpe's charming, slower pace and historic architecture a perfect escape, echoing my passion for Amsterdam.
My mini schnauzer, Copine (French for 'girlfriend'), and I invite you to enjoy our home away from home!

    Great location. Apartment was as expected. We did not have any wine experience so could not comment on that

    Very nice older home, converted into these rooms. The 3rd floor room we were in was beautiful, comfortable. Really enjoyed our stay. Having parking included nearby was a life saver. Also being able to have our dog, specifically allowed us to stay another day because it was pet friendly. The host is great, helpful and communicates well.

    The property was super clean and very well stocked with everything my wife and I could have needed. The location was super central to all the cute shops and restaurants ! The host was super kind and made wonderful suggestions on where to go and what to do during our stay. We will definitely be staying there again.

    My husband and I and our dog chose this place for a few days' getaway to explore Jim Thorpe. The apartment was very clean and well-appointed. The decor wasn't super-fancy, but all the practical needs were more than met with a few luxuries thrown in. I did all my own cooking and the kitchen was very well stocked and comfortable. For being on such a busy tourist street, the rooms were actually pleasantly quiet, especially at night. The location gives really easy access to the main strip of attractions on Broadway in Jim Thorpe and you can walk to the restaurants, shopping, the train station, etc..Pay attention to the fact this is a third floor walk-up, no elevator, so you are carrying ALL your luggage and supplies up and down many many stairs. And quickly, because you can only stop your car out front briefly, it's a bit precarious out there. The walk to the assigned parking space takes roughly 7 minutes. It's a pleasant walk, but if you have any issues or it's bad weather, it could be a hindrance.The owner was super helpful and really made an effort to make sure our stay was as pleasant as possible.If you are bringing a dog, be aware there really are no green spaces (even small patches of safe grass) anywhere nearby. No neighborhood parks to easily walk to, no bits of lawn, no dog park, etc.. That said, there are TONS of dogs around Jim Thorpe and many of the local residents and businesses are highly dog friendly! So you can definitely make it work.

    We had a wonderful time! The apartment was beautiful and just what we expected except for one detail. I was not clear to us that we had to walk up to the third floor. We are in good shape but with a dog this is less than ideal. The apartment is so nice and well situated that we would consider to stay again but would probably look around for perhaps more convenient access. Laura did such a great job explaining all the details right down to the parking!

    Great location for this third floor apartment with all of the required amenities included. Once you are settled in this cozy spot a variety of options are available for entertainment or just being a couch potato. Out around town which is practically at the door step you can walk, shop, eat, drink, bike, hike, fish, train ride go kayaking, sight see in the historic site that is Jim Thorpe. Short day trips are also a must to appreciate the overall beauty of the area. Thank you Laura for a great stay. Would definitely return in the future for another stay.

    Front steps were dangerous. Host was intrusive after texting a message, if not herd back immediately your phone will ring with the same message at Thanksgiving dinner. Had to walk on pins and needles even though her dog was the noisiest thing there. Even in town she seemed to be there. Says pet friendly sure if you want to spend most of your time looking for a place for your pet to go. As for the smoker, if you go out back on the patio you hear about it. The neighbors will smell your smoke even with all the fire places burning. Not a good experience.

    No better place to stay when visiting the delightful town of Jim Thorpe. This historical property is located in the heart of the town. Close to everything you will need or want. Best to plan on walking or biking after parking in your reserved parking place-about .3 miles away. Checkin and checkout were a little hectic just because you have to double park to unload and load. This property is immaculately maintained with comfortable surroundings. Laura is very responsive host. We LOVED our stay!

    Overall the apartment and the town was super cute. In the apartment, everything was very clean and modern. The building is old but Laura has done a great job of renovating and revitalizing the space that you would never notice. This didn't impact my experience negatively, but I did observe there were copious amounts of notes/suggestions across the apartment which seemed like a bit much at times but I can understand: better safe than sorry! Overall if you are looking for great hiking, biking or just want to be in the mountains, this was an excellent place to stay. Thank you!

    The accommodations were perfect for two people and a dog! The unit was clean and well-organized, and instructions for check-in/out were very clear. Location could not have been better, just steps from the opera house. Will definitely stay here again!
