The place was okay

The home and grounds have great potential veing a "work in progress". Do not fault the owners for rain but there's no access to the highlighted gazebo and lawn area unless you want to cross a water filled stream. There was a wooden bridge aling the stream but unfortunately it was marked off limits by white flags which were used to limit access to certain areas of the property. The beds were not very comfortable so I slept on a couch and my daughter slept on an extremely firm mattress in the main bedroom. The cleanliness of the home was a big plus.

Great getaway

Cute cottage with some nice outdoor space that we took full advantage of with the firepit and horseshoes. We had plenty of room inside and liked the front porch space. Close to Tamaqua and Jim Thorpe. Owner was quick to answer questions. Would recommend!

Weekend away

The house a perfect weekend getaway home. The house was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. Perfect location to the coal mine museum and mine tour and the town of Jim Thorpe. The only negative thing was the main bedroom mattress was very hard and uncomfortable but overall a great stay.

Finally

We've take yearly trips to Tamaqua to visit family and always need to stay out of town. We finally now have a place to stay that is in town, clean, cozy, safe, and family friendly. Highly recommend staying here! Host was very responsive anytime we had any questions.

Great Stay with Easy Access to Jim Thorpe

We had a wonderful weekend getaway at Leona's home while visiting Jim Thorpe with friends! The location was perfect—just off a main road for easy access to nearby towns, yet nestled in a peaceful, wooded setting with stunning views of the night sky.The home was clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully stocked for hosting a group. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook for a gathering of five or more, including a variety of sheet pans, pots, bowls, a knife block, and even an immersion blender.Although the windy weather kept us from building a traditional fire, we appreciated having the gas fire pit, which made it easy to roast s’mores and enjoy the evening outdoors.Thank you for a fantastic stay!

My girlfriends and I stayed for the weekend. The host was very accommodating. The property was nice and the home was cozy. We do suggest a humidifier as it was very dry. Otherwise it was a great way to spend the weekend! We enjoyed our stay! Thank you for having us!!!

I came to have a relaxed and quiet time and that's what I have. The property was clean and super neat. Communication with Leona was super easy. Also, you have other great places only about 20 minutes away (Jim Thorpe, Hawk Mountain Sanctuary, Appalachian Trail). I,definitely, would stay again at this place!

Weekend getaway at Tamaqua

The property was clean and cozy. Set back away from the main road it provided much appreciated privacy and quiet. My girlfriend and I enjoyed the fire pit each evening for cooking and enjoying meals outside by the fire. I highly recommend this place.

Our stay was for two nights and was primarily a place to sleep at night for a weekend wedding. Our sons family camped about a half hour away and we spent most of the time with them aside from the wedding. We found the house clean and a good place to stay.

Nice wooded retreat in South Tamaqua!

Place is just as described, clean, tastefully decorated. We saw deer in the fields! Place was away from the town and in a wooded scenic area. We would stay here again. Issues were quickly resolved with quick communication from owners!

A Wonderful Weekend

My two girls and I had a most wonderful stay at the cozy home. We loved being nestled in the woods away from the main road. We saw deer and groundhogs, and made smores by the fire. The house was spacious and comfy, providing ample entertainment for my kids (lots of movies!) and myself (peaceful back deck). Leona was extremely helpful and responsive at all times, outfitting her house with lots of little things to help us have a wonderful time. I highly recommend this property, and would come back in a heartbeat.
