Great location! Cute little community for evening/ day walking. PERFECT AMENITIES for the house. Clean, comfortable, quiet and so unique!Would recommended!
Great property in a private community about 5 miles up the hill from downtown Jim Thorpe. Community features a pool, lake, pickleball, tennis, and basketball courts all of which are about a 5 minute walk from the house. We rented the six person golf cart that was at the house as well which was good for getting kids and the dog around.The backyard was great for hanging out with a fire pit, sauna, and hot tub. There's also a Blackstone griddle on the back deck that's in excellent shape where I cooked multiple meals.Lots to do inside the house as well. Upstairs there's a game room (I think it was a Play Station in there, my kids enjoyed it), a theater room and one of the two upstairs bedrooms has foosball, mini-basketball, an electronic football game, and a mini-football toss.Garage has a Smith Machine for working out as well as a trap bar, EZ Curl bar, a few kettlebells and about 400 lbs worth of plates. There's also the indoor basketball in the garage which my kids also enjoyed.Three bedrooms downstairs including the master bedroom. Only recommendation I would make is if you have teenagers that stay up later than you, sleep on the other side of the downstairs instead of the master bedroom. My kids were up late playing foosball and mini-basketball and it is directly above the master bedroom.Several restaurants in the area, Thorpe's 903 is good as is Dom N Ali which are both within 3 miles of the house.Quiet and relaxing, definitely recommended.
