The original wood floors and details from this 1846 home are not to be missed.

Great area for biking; Mauch-Chunk Lake is close. Bicycle storage is available in a nearby garage (must be reserved). We have a guest binder located in your room with other preferred recommendations upon your arrival.
Outdoor Space: Through the unit in the back is a small courtyard provided with a grill, or take the steps up to the second floor for a larger, shared backyard. Perfect for outdoor dining, barbecue and relaxing.
Amenities & Convenience: Our beds are already freshly cleaned upon your arrive and prepared for you. The kitchen includes pots, pans, knives, cutting boards, prep bowls, a small food processor, a 4-cup drip coffee maker (filters included), toaster, large crock pot, and a variety of spices and condiments. Bath is provided with linens and soaps for your use. Enjoy HD TV with HBO-GO, Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Hulu.

A Note From Your Host (The Owner):
Welcome to "The Amsterdam House," my three-family Victorian home in Jim Thorpe. I'm Laura, the owner, and I purchased this property—specifically the second-floor "NYC Suite"—as a retreat from New York City.
My love for the Netherlands inspired the name, and the apartment's urban feel reminds me of Soho lofts. Having lived in NYC for over 30 years, I find Jim Thorpe's charming, slower pace and historic architecture a perfect escape, echoing my passion for Amsterdam.
My mini schnauzer, Copine (French for 'girlfriend'), and I invite you to enjoy our home away from home!

We stayed for the weekend to enjoy Jim Thorpe. This place was above my expectations. It was convenient to everything we wanted to do. We parked the truck and just walked everywhere, dining, drinks, brewery, dinner, entertainment, shopping, train ride and church. Three coffee shops in the next block down. I was so happy to have a place so clean and secure. Thoughfully decorated for Halloween. So cute! Super easy to check in and check out. Host was flexible and very responsive. Would definitely stay again when we come back to Jim Thorpe. Recommended 5 stars!

The Swiss Suite on Broadway was welcoming and cozy. The property was accurately described and nearby to the opera house, jail, dining, and shops- perfect for our girls’ weekend. We enjoyed our visit!

Excellent location. Walk to downtown was minutes away.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Oct 2024
Overall very good and we had a nice stay. The bed was super comfortable. We're experienced with B&B's, and in most respects this property was very good. Nice old building in fantastic location with all the amenities you'd expect; plus dog-friendly...which we really appreciated. We typically cook some meals in the room, and this property was well suited for that. Shower/tub were very good.
The one critique is that for the price (this property is on the expensive-side), the heat in the room was not good (we stayed during the fall so it was getting cold at night). The suite has an old steam-radiator design but the room itself doesn't have any controls; so it's either "on" or "off" and is controlled by the property manager for the entire building. So we were either too hot or too cold, and were using the AC and opening windows to cool-down when it got too hot. We had to contact the manager several times to request the heat be turned on or off. This is simply not appropriate for an expensive stay.
