Log Home in a Peaceful Wood in Jim Thorpe

Enjoy this clean, private, modern log home on 11 wooded acres, @3 miles from the center of the town of Jim Thorpe, the final resting place of James Francis Thorpe, perhaps the greatest athlete of the 20th century. The Cabin on Dew Drop Drive comfortably sleeps up to 8 people, but with enough space both inside and out so everyone can find the privacy they desire! Relax on the leather couches by the remote-controlled gas fireplace, or lounge on the sunny front porch while keeping an eye out for hummingbirds, turkeys, deer and the occasional fox or bear. Enjoy s'mores around the fire pit, and hike the woods in season to forage for wild huckleberries and blueberries. Send the kids out to play in the "tree house" (a mere 6 feet off the ground), or to ride the zip-line (weight limit 125lbs.).

You'll stay just a couple miles away from the Jim Thorpe Memorial, and you'll have easy access to the Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway, white water rafting on the Lehigh River, bicycling and hiking in Glen Onoko State Park, swimming and fishing in nearby Mauch Chunk and Beltzville Lakes, ski resorts (Jack Frost/Big Boulder, Blue Mountain and Camelback), historic sites, art galleries, concert venues, wineries, restaurants, bars and shopping. And at the end of the day, retire to the Dew Drop Inn, our Irish-style pub downstairs!

All linens and towels are provided (bring your favorite pillow if you'd like), and you'll have access to plenty of puzzles, toys, art supplies, card and board games, a diverse selection of movies on DVD, and even a bit of exercise equipment. The kitchen and laundry room are fully equipped for your use, and WiFi is free.

Fantastic Stay!
So much to say about this property! It is absolutely beautiful and incredibly clean. The house is spacious, cozy and quaintly decorated. You can tell the hosts take a lot of pride in the property and they thought of a lot of little details to make the stay comfortable. The were quick with communication and left detailed yet simple instructions for the stay. The rooms are comfortable and spacious. The downstairs was so fun, like a night out without having to leave the home. We would absolutely love to stay again!

Hidden Gem on Quiet Side of Jim Thorpe
Wayne is amazing and very responsive. The property was very clean and well kept. The family put a lot of time and effort into decorating this property and keeping it up very well. We were here second week of November 2023 and it was great. Leaves were still changing and beautiful colors to be seen. This home is wonderful and it was great to witness so many other people being kind and decent towards the decorations and other honorary in kind items in the home. We will be going back again! Also if you are vegan, vegetarian or aware of the products you use (toxins bleh) this home is well supplied with Dr.Bonners and a lot of the items we like to use to keep the harsh chemicals of the world out of our bodies. A small item that was noticed and greatly appreciated.

A true Gem !
From the moment our family walk through the front door we felt at home. Everything was neat and organized. The cabin and surrounding grounds made you feel like you didn’t wanna leave. Hope we get a chance to rent again.

Amazing Location in the Poconos
Absolutely loved this house! The pub is such a nice feature and even when the power went out, we still had the ability to play some chess in the candle light which ended up being quite nice. Highly recommend!

Perfect mountain getaway
We loved this place. We came with 2 families with 3 children between us. The place is spacious with scenic grounds. The outer porch is perfect for relaxing and watching the view, and you're just 10 minutes from downtown Jim Thorpe as well as some beautiful state parks. The real gem here is the dew drop inn in the basement. We were blown away with the attention to detail and atmosphere of the irish pub in the basement - didn't need to leave the house to enjoy a night cap in an authentic irish pub.
