~ Important Tips ~
Welcome to the neighborhood. It is a quiet residential section of West Broadway. The house is twin and we ask that you please be respectful of the neighbors' property and backyard. If you have any questions, problems or requests, please call or text me. The neighbors have a dog, Beckett. He can be very cautious of strangers, so please don’t approach him without the permission of his owners. The backyard is shared backyard (as there is no fence to delineate each side). Please feel free to use our section of the backyard to rest and enjoy the quiet atmosphere as you listen to Mauch Chunk Creek. The flower bed is the divider between our properties and we ask that you please stay on our side. Please do not walk in/through the flower bed.

CLEANING
Our cleaning fee helps to cover changing and washing of all bed linens and towels. We disinfect the bathroom and kitchen, vacuum the floors and perform general straightening up for the next guest. Please keep in mind that there may be guests arriving only four hours after you leave! It greatly helps us keep our costs down if you and your party can go through the house and try to leave the house in the same condition that you found it. Please remove any food from the fridge and freezer that you brought.
BEDS & BEDDING
There are extra pillows throughout the house in each room. When leaving, simply leave the beds unmade that you used. We will take care of stripping each bed and changing the linens. The 2nd floor daybed has another twin trundle underneath with wheels. Pull it out and lift it up to be a standard twin bed. These two beds can be combined to be a king bed (linens and foam bed topper are in the walk-in closet).
TELEVISION
The 42" high definition television is located in the living room, just as you enter the front door.

Grt location
The house was great. Very clean, great location. Very charming and historic home. We had a great time. The owner was very friendly and responsive. I would highly recommend this property.
This property was exactly as advertised. Clean, comfortable, and located perfectly to walk all over the quaint town of Jim Thorp. James was a wonderful and thoughtful host, and we really enjoyed our stay!
Thank you so much, James, for your hospitality. This rental was one of the best we've stayed in with attention to so many details and comfortable accommodations. The backyard was such a nice oasis as well for our morning coffee. We loved it!
Nicely decorated
We very much enjoyed our stay at the West Broadway Guesthouse! We appreciated all of the details James put into the home. It is within walking distance to downtown. We are looking forward to returning. James, thank you for your hospitality!
We really enjoyed our stay here. There were six of us in total, three couples. We had a fantastic time. The house is warm and inviting and very clean. We had everything we needed. Beds were super comfortable as well. Just a short walk to town center.
Beautiful property, lovely hosts. Had everything we needed for a quick getaway. Easy walk to town for restaurants, shopping, etc. James had great recommendations. Highly recommend!
James is a great host. The house is great. The parking is WONDERFUL for such a busy area. The beds are comfy. Such an easy walk to all things Jim Thorpe. The house has been beautifully restored. If you’re concerned about the church across the street- we didn’t hear any bells before 9am- there were deer above there parking lot viewable from the bedroom! It was great- we will hopefully be back.
This is by far the best VRBO we have had the pleasure of staying at. The home is stunning and has everything one would need. We cooked dinner and even baked! The backyard is beautiful and serene, with the extra touch of the sound of the underground creek flowing just up the street. And, it's the perfect distance from downtown. James was the perfect host and we really enjoyed meeting him and chatting. He is very helpful with recommendations as well. We all felt right at home in one of our most favorite cities in PA!
We had a wonderful time staying in James’ beautiful house! The house was charming and had all the extra touches to make our stay comfortable. Loved the cozy backyard with the lush plants. Unfortunately the weather was so hot that we didn’t have the opportunity to sit outside and enjoy it. A perfect spot to relax with a glass of wine! The house was situated in a quiet area but close enough to walk into town. (10 min.) Great shops, restaurants, and activities. Be sure to check out the Opera House. We got to see a fabulous Eagles tribute band. We also enjoyed eating at Myst, Marion Hose Bar and our favorite stop was Cafe Arielle. We loved how close that was to James’ house. Be sure to ask for the table above the creek! Everyone was so nice in Jim Thorpe! It was a fabulous weekend adventure with my spouse and our amazing friends!
James was very accommodating
