The Dolon House is a beautiful property with an incredible location in downtown Jim Thorpe. The property owners Michael and Jeffri (and Pearl) made the stay feel like a home away from home. If there was a higher recommendation that I could give I would!

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.

Exceptional find in Jim Thorpe.

The Dolan House is a unique find in Jim Thorpe. The house is full of character and is exceptionally well maintained. Our room was well decorated and comfortable. The dedicated bath facility was newly renovated and contemporary with character. Breakfast was a special experience and the personality, knowdge, and hospitality of Michael and Jerrri makes the experience just that more special.

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!

Beautiful, quaint Victorian with tons of beautiful antiques to admire. Surrounding area extremely safe with tons of shops and places to eat. Visiting Jim Thorpe is akin to stepping back in time and is also very much like visiting modern day European towns steeped in history.
