On a whim, we decided to visit Jim Thorpe and chose to stay at the Dolon House. I can't recommend this place highly enough for anyone seeking a great bed and breakfast in the area. The B&B is a beautifully converted historic mansion, perfectly situated in the heart of the historic district, within walking distance of everything—including the train station, antique stores, and restaurants. The owners were exceptionally courteous, and the breakfast experience was truly unique. They thoughtfully explained each item served, all of which were freshly prepared. The rooms are impeccably maintained and filled with an impressive collection of paintings and antiques. Highly recommend!

My wife and I had an outstanding stay at the Dolon House. Not only is Jim Thorpe, PA completely charming, the house and property from the mid-1800s has been thoughtfully restored by owners Michael and Jeffrey. A warm greeting was followed by attention to every detail and the gourmet breakfast was a culinary delight. If you are in Jim Thorpe don't miss an opportunity to stay at this great B&B!

The owners Michael and Jeffrey are the best. They make you feel at home from the moment you arrive until you check out. The Dolan house décor is filled with love and charm, the Garret room where we stayed was very cozy and comfortable. Did I mention that the breakfast which was included was second to none. Hard to imagine finding a better Bed and Breakfast in Jim Thorpe.

Worst stay ever!!
Owners treated us with disrespect and were condescending. They offered no assistance with our WIFI issues. The owner dismissed our concerns and blamed a ghost was causing our failed internet connection. The room smelled musty and the fridge was noisy. Also, there was no television in our room. The lack of hospitality and the inability to make phone calls and receive them created an uncomfortable situation causing us to leave the establishment. The owners made no effort to assist or accommodate us in any way. The next day we received a call from the owner accusing us of taking the room key and that we would be charged for taking it.
