About this property

The Mercantile Studio: Antique Transoms & Reserved Parking

The Space
Located on the ground floor of a 19th-century building, this suite retains its original architectural character, from the antique transom windows to the original cast iron radiators. We have meticulously preserved the 1901 soul of this former mercantile building to provide an authentic Jim Thorpe experience that blends historical integrity with modern standards.

The Historical Experience
Original Details: The space features 10-foot ceilings and original wood pillars that reflect the building's industrial roots. This is a genuine 125-year-old building with character and "soul," offering a unique alternative to a standard hotel room.

The East Side Advantage: We are located roughly 1 mile from the scenic train station. By staying on the quiet East Side, you avoid the Broadway noise and congestion. Your stay includes a guaranteed, private off-street parking spot.

Historic Charm, Modern Amenities
Premium Features: While we honor the past, we provide modern comforts, including a color-changing fireplace and our premium Sonos sound system(exclusive to this unit). This space offers a washer and dryer.

Outdoor Living: Enjoy your coffee on the deck and a BBQ grill, situated just 2.4 miles from the entrance to Lehigh Gorge State Park.

This is a great apartment on the quiet side of town, a twenty minute walk from the start of downtown shopping. It had everything we needed, including a basket of welcome snacks and water. It was handy to be able to walk and leave our car at the apartment as parking downtown can be tricky if it's a holiday weekend and the scenic train is running. The host is a very responsive and good communicator and helped us with restaurant recommendations. We will stay here again the next time we visit Jim Thorpe.

Beautiful stay in Jim Thorpe

This place was an absolute gem! It was very clean and so homey inside. Had all your essentials and more! To get to the historic side of Jim Thorpe, we parked close to the bridge (for free) and walked over. It was a nice walk. This was a fabulous find. I definitely recommend Dee’s place!

Everything we could possibly need/want was provided! Really cute and comfortable place. Bed is a little too high - was hard getting in/out of it. Disappointing there's no window to open except for the bathroom, but not a deal breaker.

Last Minute One-Nighter

We decided last minute to visit Jim Thorpe for a quick getaway. I contacted the host the day before and Dee's responses were quick and I was able to book seamlessly. Great location. I mile into town which would have been a pretty easy walk, but it rained and we opted to use an Uber. Vintage Revival Retreat was absolutely stunning, clean and comfortable. We will definitely stay there again when visiting Jim Thorpe.

Great stay, great location

We needed a place to call home base while exploring Jim Thorpe and the Lehigh River Gorge. We also needed someplace quiet to work, just in case. This was a great choice for both. Walkable into town, or just a super short ride. Comfortable and all the needs for two people. Close to the rail trail, could walk the short-ish walk into Jim Thorpe town, either via the street or the rail trail. Close to hiking (we did bald mountain) and biking paths. We explored wineries and breweries and the many delish recommendation from our host. Dee and Mark were wonderful hosts. Can’t wait to return and explore more.

Perfect homebase for biking Lehigh Gorge RailTrail

We had made reservations to take the shuttle from town and bike on two days. Turns out we were an easy ride to town and back. On the ride home, we picked up a steak and fresh asparagus, a bottle of wine and enjoyed a lovely outdoor patio dinner, made on the nice new grill. All the details in this property are beyond all the VRBOs we’ve visited, down to the nightlight and the comfy bed. Dee even left out snacks for us to nibble. Thanks Dee. You’re a wonderful host!

Perfect accommodations a short (hilly) walk from town!

Dee thought of everything! The location was a short walk from Jim Thorpe, get those calves burning! Not too much to do in the immediate area of interest for us, but the accommodations were top-notch. Gorgeous inside with anything you may need at your fingertips. The host really thought of everything for you to enjoy your stay and went above and beyond when small inconveniences came our way. Communication was stellar when responding with questions or concerns. Excellent instructions and signage from beginning to end before, during, and after our stay. I love clear instructions! No guess work, just enjoy yourselves. We plan to go back in the fall!

Perfect

Multiple reasons why someone should choose here to stay. -Jim Thorpe is a very popular place which means day visitors come from everywhere and there isnt any parking anywhere. The location of this stay was perfect. It was close enough to walk to the main street of Jim thorpe, which means you dont have to worry about parking and you get to see the amazing view along the walk. -You cant beat the price. Places at Jim thorpe actually cost even more then this place. -Dee keeps this place in top shape. Its clean, comfortable and aesthetically pleasing to the eye. She left litte treats around and hand written notes. I felt so welcomed. -I felt safe most importantly, it was surrounded by a neighborhood of ederly and families. I dont think anyone would regret this choice of stay! Thanks! lolocation of this
