Guest Count Accuracy
Eight Adults

To ensure a comfortable and welcoming stay within our ordinances and permits, we accept only reservations for groups of up to eight (8) adults, with additional spaces thoughtfully reserved for children. While our chalet is designed to sleep up to twelve (12) guests, this approach allows us to provide every adult with appropriate accommodations without relying on bunk beds or spaces designed for kids. Infants (under 12 months) must be mentioned, but not included in the total guest count. Bookings exceeding these limits will not be accepted.

Joanne
The JO of PoconoJo's
"She was the absolute best at making meaningful traditions, extending hospitality, and finding a reason to have a martini."
Our Story

Named for Joanne

Jim Thorpe has always felt like home. As a kid, summers meant Grandma's house on Spring Street — cousins running wild outdoors, evenings around the kitchen table with cards and laughter.

Time has transitioned us into a new generation, but this place and these feelings remain the same. My parents ended up moving back to Jim Thorpe not too long before my mom, Joanne, passed — bookending her life in the Poconos.

She would have loved this place. She was the absolute best at making meaningful traditions, extending hospitality, and finding a reason to have a martini. Our hope is that her kind of joy can live on as you create wonderful memories with those you love here.

Cheers, friends — and welcome back!

Steve & Mandy
Traditions Start Here
A note about Mandy: Everything she does is grounded in hospitality — just like Joanne. If you have a vision for your stay, she is more than happy to coordinate a specialized welcome. All it takes is a wish, a little time, and communication around budget. Reach out through the booking form or text her directly after you've confirmed. She will take it from there.

🍕 The Garlic Pizza + Boulder Field Adventure — A PoconoJo's Tradition

Sometime after lunch, pack everyone in the car. Don't tell them what you're doing. Head up 903 north toward the turnpike — about five to eight minutes past the Shell Gas Station, turn right into the first plaza. Go into Gagliano's pizza shop and ask for a piece of cheese pizza with garlic from the garlic knots baked on it. One piece per person. Do not order ahead. It is a completely different experience when it's reheated while you wait. Pile back in the car, chow down together (everyone will have the happiest bellies and the worst breath together), then plug BOULDER FIELD into your GPS. Fight the temptation to look it up first. See it in person. The internet will ruin it. Then follow directions to the Boulder Field within Hickory Run State Park. Go enjoy it.

Getting Outside

Hiking, Snow Sports & Beaches

Download the AllTrails App — generally great with up-to-date trail conditions. Some of our favorite places to hike include the Lehigh Gorge, Hickory Run State Park, and the D&L Trail that picks up behind the train station downtown.

Switchback Railroad Trail
Pennsylvania's first railroad, now an 18-mile recreational trail. Hike, bike, or cross-country ski. Rich history at every turn.
D&L Trail / Lehigh Canal North
Picks up behind the train station in downtown Jim Thorpe. Perfect for walking and biking with historical significance along the canal.
Mount Pisgah Trail
Part of the larger trail network in the area. Offers elevation and rewarding views for those willing to work for it.
Biking
Jim Thorpe Bike Rental & Pocono Biking — both good, but plan ahead; same-day rentals aren't guaranteed. The D&L Trail is fabulous, and biking to Weissport for ice cream is a favorite.
Snow Sports
Three ski areas nearby: Jack Frost / Big Boulder, Camelback Mountain Resort, and Blue Mountain Ski Area. Each has its own character — we haven't experienced all three yet. If you go, we'd love your thoughts.
Beaches & Rivers
There are two beaches in the Bear Creek Lakes community — one of which is one mile away. Within a 20-minute drive: Sand Spring Lake at Hickory Run State Park is free and public; Mauch Chunk Lake charges admission. For the river: Pocono Whitewater (Jim Thorpe) & Lake Harmony Watersports are the closest options for getting out on the water.
