Vintage Charm Studio: Unique Retreat on the East Side

Welcome to our unique studio apartment, where stepping inside may feel like a journey back in time to the era of a charming confectionary shop. The historical character and details of the space have been meticulously maintained, including the double display windows with a display deck, allowing glimpses into the past of this old storefront.

While preserving its historical charm, the studio apartment has also undergone a modern renovation. New hardwood floors bring a touch of elegance, and the full kitchen is equipped with all the essentials for your culinary needs. Art deco touches throughout the space create a stylish and inviting atmosphere, while the bright and airy ambiance adds to the overall charm.

Indulge in a luxurious sleep experience on a Saavta Classic bed with a Euro top, complemented by the allure of velvet drapes. The walk-in subway tile shower offers a refreshing experience, although please note that there is no bathtub. The "touchless" toilet adds a modern and hygienic touch to your stay.

Relax in the living room area, furnished with a comfortable leather Chesterfield sofa, where you can unwind and enjoy entertainment on the 43-inch TLC TV with built-in Roku streaming, including Netflix and other features.

Additional amenities provided for your comfort include whole house Wi-Fi access with a mesh network of Wi-Fi points, ensuring a seamless and reliable internet connection. As a pet-free accommodation, we strive to provide a low allergen environment for our guests. To enhance your relaxation, a white noise machine with gentle ocean waves or white noise is available, creating a soothing atmosphere.

Super nice!
Really enjoyed this rental, very clean, and everything we needed was provided. Only thing, you can’t walk into town easily but parking and Ubers were easy enough. Strongly recommend this rental if not looking to stay directly in the town.

Great stay !
We had a great stay at The Glen Onoko guest house. The place was clean and neat and had everything we needed. Dee was very communicative, and gave us lots of recommendations on things to do and places to see . The location was right outside of town but was super easy to get into town and to all activities . We would definitely stay here again !

Highly recommended!
The home is very nicely decorated and very comfortable. Literally 2 minute drive down to the main parking lot at Jim Thorpe. Lots of nice little touches throughout like coffee with creamer, little Hershey's Kisses and some water. We loved it!

Summer getaway
Dee is an amazing host. Her communication is spot on. Her property is extremely clean and cozy. Location is great. Short drive to the town of Jim Thorpe or a short walk to a great breakfast shop. I highly recommend this property and host for your travel stay. When we come back next year we are staying here.

This is the epitome of traveler acomodattion.The only thing we didn't like is that we didn't have more time to spend.

This property was MUCH more than expected! Better than a regular hotel room for the same price. The personal touches were fantastic (a pack of chocolate chip cookies, a binder showing the history of the building telling that it was a confectionery then a bakery, etc.) Couldn't ask for better communications from the host.

A great place and a great hostess
The property has so much character; it’s clean and well maintained. It’s also within walking distance of downtown if you’re willing to walk some hills, which we did with no problem. Dee is communicative and provides helpful information along the way. She includes extras like coffee, waters, soaps, paper products, and more. We enjoyed our stay from start to finish.

Lehigh Valley vacation spot
We were in the area so my daughter could participate in the yearly Running Festival. The home, as well as the town, is unique and historic, with the scenic Lehigh Valley Gorge as a backdrop. We had lunch at the Stone Pub and Eatery, dinner at China Garden, and hoagies at Tommy's Subs right down the street. The home had everything we needed, a big comfy bed, and Dee was a great communicator.
