Two acres of woodland surround this contemporary cabin. Custom-built by your hosts, their attention to detail is exceptional. The loft will be a favourite, where you can admire the ridgeline views while playing pool. There's also a wet bar, a record player (their taste in music is just as delightful as their taste in design), and a collection of books to make cosy nights at home even better. Outside, you'll find a grill for summer barbecues and a campfire perfect for toasting marshmallows. Jim Thorpe's shops, eateries, and sightseeing opportunities are a fifteen-minute drive away. Or lace up your boots for a hike – your host is happy to share his favourite trails.

Home truths

    An outdoor hot tub is being added in September 2024.

    Well-behaved dogs are welcome as long as they stay on a leash. Cats aren't allowed.

    You'll need a car in this area. An SUV or 4x4 is recommended, as it's a 2-mile dirt and gravel road to the cabin. During the winter, AWD vehicles are strongly advised.

    Though your host will accept children and babies, this home isn't childproof. There are hard surfaces, glass windows, and open-tread stairs here. If you do plan on travelling with little ones, you'll need to bring your own equipment – including child-friendly utensils.

    Given the rural location, expect to see wildlife (including bears).

    This cabin has a septic system, so please don't flush anything other than toilet paper.
