A great location for those attending the downtown Bethlehem festivals like the Celtic Classic, just a short walk away! Very cozy, I highly recommend!
The Hive is a beautifully appointed, quiet spot. Access instructions were clear and simple. Everything was immaculately clean. Parking was ample and close by. And what's not to love about a rental that has a copy of "Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell" on the bookshelf!

Quaint Stay. Poor Host
Cute place. Non communicative host after the check in process. Asked for WiFi password and question about additional linens and “crickets” for 2 days. Snowed 6 inches and no one shoveled sidewalk or steps to front door.
