Our bed, sheets and pillows made for a great night's sleep. If you have time, we recommend that you take the 2.5 mile walk around the nearby lake. The wi-fi isn't very good, but that is probably something you'd want from time to time. This is a quiet, old and eerie place that makes you want to put your phone down anyway. It seems more like a place to get away to and hunker down in; very cozy.

My friend came across Mary's Guesthouse via the internet and booked the place for two nights. She did most of the planning and she did very well especially in choosing this place to stay. I never had the privilege to stay in guesthouses before and surely this will not be my last after a great experience at Mary's Guesthouse. The owner Tom was beyond amazing. One of the most hospitable Americans I've met since I move here from the Philippines. My friends and I (a group of 6 people) came late on Friday around 11 pm, and I'm sure it was such an inconvenient time to arrive but Tom is such a gracious host. He greeted us outside his house while we were parking in the streets. It was pretty cold and the thought of him waiting for us made us feel welcomed. He helped us with our luggage, opened the door for us and even reserve a parking spot for us. And the moment he opened the door, I swear I instantly feel at home. He let us relax a bit before he made a quick tour of the place. It was a big guesthouse and it was more than enough space for 6 people, it could accommodate more I'm sure. It has 3 floors, 3 guestrooms and 2 full baths. Each room has at least 2 - 3 beds. Living room has 3 couches, a piano, and assorted books and magazines arranged beautifully. I love the postcards wall situated in 1 corner of the living room, postcards given to Tom and Michelle (tom's wife) from friends all over the world (That's how friendly they are :)). Adjacent to the living room is the dining area equipped with two dining tables, and at the back of the house would be the kitchen - equipped with stove, microwave, ref, basic utensils, pots and pans, recycling bin, trash bags, coffee mugs.. etc. The bedrooms are moderate in sizes, I love how the bed are great to sleep in, even the bunk beds. comforters, sheets, pillows are provided of course. The bathroom is very clean, you could sleep in it, roll over the floor if you want , that's how clean it is. The guesthouse is old but very well maintained. Tom and Michelle did a really great job. For the price we paid, it was definitely worth it. I love the place. What made it even worth our while was the immense hospitality of Tom. He made sure we were ok and settled. He left a note when we got home after our ski trip (how sweet is that!!!). He came by for breakfast to say good morning, when we offered our Filipino breakfast, he never hesitated to try it (I appreciate that). He was eager to learn how our ski trip went. I know he had a lot to offer with regards to things to do in Jim Thorpe. But unfortunately, we only stayed 2 nights and never really get to experience what the town has to offer. The guesthouse is perfectly located in this small charming town. In the summer, our goal is to come back for whitewater rafting. I hope we can come back and if we do, I'll definitely call Tom and book Mary's Guesthouse again. The place, the price and the host is just the right combination for a great weekend. I cannot thank Tom enough for his kindness and hospitality. I wish a lot of people would visit his place because the experience was just amazing.

Mary's Guesthouse is an economical place for groups and families to use as a home-base when…read moreexploring the amazing little town of Jim Thorpe PA. As of April 2014, Mary's is no longer renting rooms or beds, they are strictly a 'house rental' wherein you must rent the whole house for a minimum of two nights. Economically, if you have 5 people or more, it's a good deal. If you have 7 or 8, it's a great deal. You get a whole house: 3 bedrooms (actually 4 because there's a little one they don't tell you about), 2 full baths, a living room, kitchen, dining room and even a little courtyard out back. Don't expect fancy! This place has been used as a guesthouse/hostel for the past 10 years and it definitely shows that it's been 'lived in,' but it's still clean and comfortable. Oh, and without a TV - that's right, they don't have cable - you might think you'll be bored, but you won't even miss it, there's so much to do, and you can talk with your friends all night without electronic noise interrupting all the time. Kind of nice... And the location is great - walkable to everything in town - restaurants, shops, music and you can ride bike from the house right to a couple of the rail-trails.

The experience provided does not meet expectations for the price point required…read more Spent the weekend doing their murder mystery package, and overall it was okay. 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.

Just in time for Halloween!…read more Perched atop Packer Hill in the village of Jim Thorpe, this place was used as the model for the Haunted Mansion at Disney, whose interior is anything but spooky. After our tour at Asa Packer, he later built his son Harry a mansion next door as a wedding present in 1874. The mansion's impressive facade could have been taken from a Gothic novel, so much so that the building's design caught the eye of Disney Imagineers where my partner, his aunt, and I came to take some photos last Saturday. The Harry Packer Mansion Inn is open for lodging, tours on weekends, drinks at Libations Lounge, and, of course, murder mystery. Fifteen-foot ceilings, marble fireplaces, and gilded mirrors reflect the elegance of the Victorian Age. If you are in the area, it's a photo op.

The location is gorgeous, the wait staff was above and beyond, the coordinator Sharon Potter was one of the best I have seen in the business, and the venue offered an experience that a good many of my attendees have been talking about. The location itself located comfortably in the Pocono area is isolated enough to enjoy your own wedding, but still near to a lot of hubs for shopping and food. The gorgeous lake is a little bit away from the venue, but offers a beautiful view of the area. The venue itself is quaint and elegant. Overall, we could not have picked a better place to pick and were assisted by some of the best people to make our day perfect. I will always remember how well they treated us and I will always recommend this location.

One of the services that direly needs to be updated is their "business center", which is just an old Dell desktop with a printer. The computer was extremely slow to open programs, navigate the internet, and print documents. My room was OK, nothing special. The bed was clean and comfortable, but it was somewhat hard to sleep because the AC/heating unit sounded like someone snoring throughout the night. At least the hallways were fairly quiet to counteract that. The shower water pressure was nice, though it would've been better if the temperature could get hotter. It was only warm. That goes for the sink as well - it didn't produce hot water let alone warm. I could only wash my hands in cold water. Hazleton is a small town, so it makes sense that there would not be any five star hotels nearby. If you like free breakfast and parking this is the place to stay. It's also the closest Marriott to the town. A short-term stay wouldn't break the bank and the hotel is convenient and comfortable.

The house itself is a beautiful blend of historic character and a few modern touches--staying in the Allamuchy Room felt like a true retreat. It was cozy, warm, and had everything we could possibly need for a winter getaway. The hospitality from Ricardo and Don is world-class. They went above and beyond by securing us a dinner reservation at a local restaurant where, thanks to their connection, we were treated like royalty! They even provided us with a custom photo taken in the parlor room of the house--a beautiful, personal memento that we will truly treasure. We also loved the 'snack room'--it was so well-stocked with coffee, tea, sweets, and chips, which was perfect for a cold evening. Breakfast was absolutely amazing, and meeting their dog, Takoda, was a highlight--he is such a sweet, gentle giant. Ricardo and Don have thought of every detail to make their guests feel at home. If you're looking for a personal touch in a stunning historic setting, this is it. We can't wait to return!

The two of them are a dynamic duo who complement each other perfectly and could not have been more accommodating throughout the entire wedding planning process. They had brilliant ideas and great vision from the very start. Mary helped plan all of the logistics of the weekend and baked a delicious cake. She was also a great resource for local vendors within the community. Mark was a master chef and the go to person when it came to last minute items (My family and friends are still talking about the food). We very much appreciate their generosity--of time, support, and thoughtful ideas--and cannot thank them enough for all of their hard work. It truly paid off. The grounds were very well kept and there was always something to do with the pool and lake activities. Most importantly, thanks to Mark and Mary's attention to detail, we were able to thoroughly enjoy our wedding. Thank you so much Mary and Mark!!! Jay and Kathleen
