Lovely

Lovely, unique loft with plenty of character. It was hard to get my kids to leave because they just wanted to enjoy the loft. We didn’t mind it since it gave us a chance “adult” around town : )

Fall get-away

Our trip to Jim Thorpe was accented by this amazing property. We can't wait to come back and bring the kids. The Loft is perfectly appointed and a really cool setting to come "home" to after enjoying the culture, food, and activities the town has to offer. Cafe Arielle, just downstairs, has really good food and service. Don't miss the museum downstairs too!

Lovely place to celebrate our anniversary!

Joan and Victor have a beautiful home in Jim Thorpe and we are so happy that we were able to stay in their loft for our anniversary weekend! The loft is a unique space and so comfortable and so close to town. We had dinner reservations in the restaurant below the loft which was a fantastic meal with the best wait staff! Walked into town, biked the trails and shopped in town! Beautiful amazing weekend! Thanks again Joan and Victor we will definitely recommend your loft, restaurant and art museum to anyone!

About the host

Hosted by Joan Morykin

I am an avid runner and cyclist and the mother of two young children. My husband is an artist who also has his studio in the building where we also run an art gallery and event venue space.

Why they chose this property

I first visited Jim Thorpe on a weekend getaway from New York City in 1998 and immediately fell in love with the town - its proximity to New York and Philadelphia was perfect for a weekend retreat and I bought a small weekend house. A number of years later, my artist husband was looking for studio space and we purchased a 15,000 sq. ft. former wireworks factory and spent six years fixing up the building. As an avid runner, the beautiful mountain trails still hold a fascination for me every time I go out. This town is perfect to raise a family - there is an old-fashioned candy store, a classic 5&10 and easy access to the Lehigh River and a recreational lake park, skiing and cycling.

What makes this property unique

Outdoor lovers can access an extensive trail system connecting a quarter-mile from the loft to enjoy bicycling, running, hiking, or cross-country skiing. The nearby Lehigh River also provides access for whitewater rafting, kayaking, and fishing through a number of outfitters. Eclectic shops, museums, and the Mauch Chunk Opera House are all within walking distance from the property. Other nearby activities include swimming, fishing, and boating at the beautiful Mauch Chunk Lake Park. During each season, visitors can enjoy a number of the annual festivals including the Fall Foliage Weekends, Jim Thorpe Birthday Celebration, Earth Day, Olde Time Christmas, Winterfest, and the Burlesque Festival.
