About this property

Cute lodge in the woods near Jim Thorpe & Beltzville Lake

Hop through the front door of the White Rabbit Cottage and find yourself in a cozy bright space decorated in an eclectic style. There is room to scamper with a 1.5 acre wooded lot located on a quiet country cul de sac in the Southern Poconos. This 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 1200 square foot cottage has all the amenities of home. It is within 15 minutes of historic Jim Thorpe, Beltzville Lake, Blue Mountain Ski Resort and Penn's Peak Concert Venue. It accommodates hikers, kayakers, ski bunnies, loungers, bird watchers, cyclists, those who fish, white water rafters, and concert goers.

Note that the cottage does not have air conditioning. It is shaded and on top of a mountain, with ceiling fans in every room. It is generally cool at night, but does get warm if there is several 90 degree days in a row.

This free standing cottage will sleep up to six people, who can nestle in the ensuite master bedroom with a queen sized bed or two other bedrooms. One room has a full sized bed and the other has two singles that share a common bathroom. The living room has vaulted ceilings, a fireplace, and two sliding glass doors that lead to a large deck looking out on a wooded lot.

Guests are invited to nibble on their own meals cooked in the fully equipped kitchen. The cottage is also outfitted with a flat screen tv, numerous streaming channels (although we do not have traditional cable), CD/DVD player and wifi. There is a long driveway, which will easily accommodate a boat, snowmobiles or other outdoor toys.

All sheets, towels, and cooking/dinnerware are included. A two night minimum stay is required, and the cottage is non-smoking. Renters must be at least 25 years of age. Families are welcome.

Not motorcycle friendly driveway
Comfortable home very roomy inside and fairly well stocked unfortunately host did not realize driveway is not motorcycle friendly with gravol and washed out area especially at entrance difficult to get over. Nature is not always helpful. As in Previous review lighting is dim despite large windows if I returned to area in a car would stay again as host was very helpful and pleasant

Nice place. Could do better with outdoors
Nice place. The outdoor furniture was a sore. If they put better chairs, or at least clean waterproof cushions, would do the trick

Nice place to stay for weekend trip
Loved the spacious living room. I wish the weather was better to enjoy the backyard. Stayed two nights for a ski trip to Blue Mountain. The place did the job. My only complaint is the plain dirty mugs with coffee stains on the bottom and kitchenware stacked in the cupboards as if they're ready to use. We had to wash what we needed.

Cozy cottage in the woods
We stayed for a week to go skiing for our birthdays. The cottage is 15-20 minutes from the Blue Mountain resort. Charlie was very responsive to our questions and requests. We cooked most nights, and enjoyed playing in the yard in the snow. The guide book in the house also provided several suggestions for activities to do close by for the days we weren't on the mountain. Would definitely stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Charlie Sproule

Host profile image
We have a romantic history with Jim Thorpe. Family of ours owned hotels and a bottling company during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. As sometimes happens, the accountant ran away with all the money, so we just get to look at our lost inheritance and think about what might have been.
Jim Thorpe was the first place we vacationed together as a couple and was the site of our wedding ceremony on a gorgeous May day. It's a place where our family toiled in the mines and in the sewing factory and raised their kids. It’s where every street had a bar and a church and people you dated had to live within walking distance.
Now, Jim Thorpe is about artists, adventure and the art of dining, all of which we believe in and support. We can mountain bike, hike or antique and then dine on American cuisine or attend the strawberry festival at a local church. We like it all.

Why they chose this property

Life in the big city is a noisy adventure, and we craved a bit of solace. It was the mountains that always beckoned, not the shore. Within an hour's drive, we are happily parked in front of our home, feeling miles away from the bustling life we left behind. We enjoy the secluded feel to the place, while knowing that we are just a few minutes away from grocery stores, dining, drive-in movies, hiking, and dozens of other activities.

What makes this property unique

Star-gazing while sitting on our back porch, after a meal made of ingredients supplied by local farm stands cannot be beat.
Driving 10 minutes to Beltzville Lake and having to choose between a dozen or so amazing hikes is a delight.
Running down country roads past horse farms and seeing the woods in their fall glory is beyond words.
