My husband and I were warmly greeted as we pulled up to the very well preserved mansion, and were secured a parking spot in the lot. Our host was wonderful and accommodating, as he helped us carry our luggage into the mansion and escorted us to our room. Our room, "The Blue Room," was immaculate to say the least. The little extras were amazing. We booked a romance package and there was a bottle of wine and scrumptious chocolates waiting for us in the mini fridge. Other goodies were coffee and tea, and an assortment of yummy cookies out in the beautiful hall. Everything about our room was delightful and cozy. The decor and relaxing atmosphere really made us feel pampered and cared for. The building itself is very well maintained and was spotlessly clean. The gorgeous Tiffany glass chandeliers and Victorian decor really make you feel like you're back in time. The front porch is a lovely place to sit and relax, read, or enjoy a snack. Last, but certainly not least, our three course breakfast the next morning, was absolutely divine! I cannot have milk or eggs and they had oat milk, and almond milk for my coffee, whichever I preferred. Also, my husband had eggs for his entree and I was served a roasted corn polenta that was out of this world. The chef is amazing! Everything was delicious and we both cleaned our plates. You can immediately tell right from the start that everything is handled with love and care, and we cannot wait to take another trip back!

The murder mystery itself was the highlight, the storyline was engaging, and the actors were clearly well-trained in improv and very kind. Murder Mystery: 8/10 The room was fairly standard, what you'd expect in an old-timey house. No TV or modern extras, but there were plenty of charging outlets, which was appreciated. Room: 7/10 The food during the stay was incredibly disappointing. Most of it felt like reheated microwave meals. Breakfast included eggs, bacon (very thin, broken pieces), cubed potatoes that were oddly watery, ham slices, stale danishes, cereal cups, and a parfait option that had run out by our 9am time slot. Dinner was similar in quality. I chose the cheese ravioli, but despite being second in line, it was cold. The same watery potatoes from breakfast were served again, along with green beans. The only highlight was the coffee, which was good. Food: 2/10 Unfortunately, the parking situation is very poor. There are only 5-6 spots directly outside and a few more up the hill behind the carriage house. I was dropped off at check-in and informed staff that my boyfriend would be arriving late. I was assured there would be parking available and that staff would be present 24/7 to assist him. However, I woke up to a call from him saying he couldn't find parking. I went downstairs to get help, but no staff could be found. Not wanting to disturb other guests, I eventually gave up, and he had to park on the street in the neighborhood on top of the hill overnight. At breakfast, we were briefly told about additional parking behind the carriage house, but there was no apology or acknowledgment of the issue from the night before, nor any attempt to make it right. Parking: 1/10 The staff overall seemed inexperienced and, at times, unprofessional. While I empathize with younger staff members, there were several uncomfortable moments--such as hearing an employee joke about "killing" another staff member over a small mistake, and staff walking away mid-conversation while we were trying to ask follow-up questions. Staff: 4/10 Overall, there were some enjoyable elements, especially the murder mystery, but the experience didn't quite match the price point. With a few key improvements, this could be a much more worthwhile stay.

The suite was spotless and beautifully furnished and had a very comfortable king-size bed. We received a gracious and warm welcome from the host when we arrived. First, let me start from the outside going in. The street that the Inn is located is so quaint and charming, we weren't even inside yet, and I knew it was going to be wonderful. Diane and Chris were fantastic hosts, gave us tips on where to eat and things to do. The Inn has a fireplace in the common area along with coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. Our suite was a great size, and I was very impressed with how clean it was. The mattress was very comfortable, and so was the couch in the sitting room. The in room breakfast was perfect! Stocked juices in the mini fridge, fresh yogurt with honey and berries, and ready on our table were granola, fruits, scones, muffins, biscotti and the most delicious cakes. We did not get into our car at all as everything was less than a 10 min walk away. We did the train ride, a show at the opera house, Big Creek tasting room, Myst, Molly Maguires, and shopping. When we come back to Jim Thorpe, and we will be back, Times House will be our place to stay! I'm already trying to arrange a friends trip for next fall!

We didn't have to hunt for parking, as they have designated spots for the bed and breakfast. Chris (one of the innkeepers) greeted us after we parked to offer assistance with luggage and show us to our room. We were staying in Serenity which was located on the third floor. The room was beautifully decorated and meticulously clean. A small table was already set with dishes for breakfast the next morning. Fresh baked goods, courtesy of Diane (the other innkeeper), as well as fresh fruit, homemade granola, and a refrigerator stocked with orange juice, apples juice, bottled water, creamers for coffee and yogurt were all provided for us to enjoy for breakfast at our convenience. Down in the main parlor there was also a side table set up with coffee, tea and hot cocoa. When housekeeping visited our room the next afternoon, everything was tidied up and the items we consumed were replenished. The room had a television with streaming ability. The location of Times House was perfect and we were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. We did not have to visit our car again until our departure. My husband and I have already recommended Times House to several friends and plan to visit here again ourselves.

Both Michael and Jeffrey are impeccable in style, hosting and there is absolutely nothing left that they had left short at their stay. They were simply amazing, knowledgeable about the community and true travelers full of history and class. The room we stayed in was called 'John's Room.' It had a very nice display of antique and landscape artwork fit for a couple who are first time visiting. There was a well lit closet for 2 luggage, a king/queen bed, 2 chairs and a dresser. It was small, but I found it to be cozy. No tv but great WiFi. Our bathroom had the standard amenities and had its own heater. There was a hairdryer, makeup towels/remover wipes, shampoo, conditioner, soap, lotion, towels, and all a person would except in a bathroom. I cannot even begin to explain the breakfast service. It goes beyond 5 star. I will simply say that the photos in my review is what the current owners present. During the October fall foliage prime is when my stay was. The town becomes flooded with people on Saturday and Sunday (weather pending). It is highly suggested that if this is your stay duration time that you book in time before there is no vacancy. It also is suggested you speak with the owners so that they can help you navigate with tips to avoid headaches with the parking, the scenic train and any other things that may involve the crowds. This B&B is not kid-friendly because of all the delicate statues and knick nacs. There is dog on site but we saw it once, not even in the common areas.

Alas, we did venture out to see Jim Thorpe (a.k.a. Mauch Chunk) and the nearby historic sites. Micheal provided some great suggestions, and added such depth and flavor to the experience with his knowledge of the history of the area. We truly look forward to visiting again, and staying with them in their new endeavor at Dolon House (5 West Broadway); a grand and historic home they are now renovating. It will be fascinating to see the collections and appointments from The Parsonage in this incredible and historic home. Jeffri and Michael, thank you so much for a wonderful experience!

This wasn't necessary since there were no other guests, but could be a good option for others traveling during this pandemic. Matt was very helpful even from afar. He explained how to use the tv and provided advice on hikes. He was very responsive to texts and phone calls, and it was not an issue at all that he wasn't there.

Stuffed French toast, turkey sausage and creamy scrambled eggs. The host, Nina, is an excellent cook with incredible culinary sensibilities making this breakfast one of those beautiful meals burned in my brain.

The inn is beautifully decorated and does a wonderful job of preserving the town's rich history. One of my favorite touches was the collection of autographed photos throughout the entrance area, showcasing the many artists, musicians, and notable guests who have stayed here over the years. The location couldn't be better. Situated right on Broadway, you're within walking distance of all the shops, restaurants, galleries, and attractions that make Jim Thorpe such a special destination. We spent hours exploring the town and loved being able to return to the inn whenever we wanted to relax. Our room was comfortable, spacious, and tastefully decorated. It featured a cozy queen-size bed, two cushioned lounge chairs perfect for unwinding after a day of sightseeing, and a large swivel-mounted TV with streaming capabilities. The room had a warm and inviting feel that fit perfectly with the historic atmosphere of the inn. The staff truly made our stay memorable. Everyone we encountered was friendly, professional, and eager to help. They provided excellent recommendations for local restaurants and attractions and even supplied a handy map of Broadway highlighting all the shops and points of interest. If you're planning a visit to Jim Thorpe, I highly recommend staying here. The combination of historic charm, comfortable accommodations, outstanding service, and a prime downtown location makes this inn the perfect home base for exploring one of Pennsylvania's most beautiful towns.

The great: We almost booked through a third party website because it looked like it was $20 cheaper but we ended up reviewing the discount tab on the Inn at Jim Thorpe website and noticed a 15% discount if we booked over the phone. Booking over the phone saved us about $50. The staff was kind, professional and helpful over the phone and in person. They even gave us fresh baked cookies when we checked in. The inn is an old, crickety building and the rooms are small but clean. There's a stairwell and small elevator once you're inside the building. I don't know if there was a handicap entrance into the building. The parking lot was easy to find but it is quite narrow, which should be expected in an old building/old town. Ice and a filtered water fountain is located in the basement and they have a vending machine too if you're looking for a late night snack or sweet treat. The not so great: One thing did feel misleading. The staff said the restaurant attached to it ( Broadway something or other) is the only place that serves breakfast & they require reservations. The Inn even provides a $10 off per person coupon for the restaurant but we found a few options for Nitro cold brew, coffee, tea and baked goods right down the block. Personally, this felt like sales tactic to make us think breakfast would be scarce. Maybe that's the case during peak tourism season but it didn't seem to be the case when we were in town. Overall we'd definitely stay here again. Between the trails, the cool architecture and the good food, we found Jim Thorpe to be a fun place to explore.
