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!

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.

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.

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.

Gorgeous Queen Anne Victorian B&B! Like stepping back in time, but with all the modern comforts. The innkeepers were very knowledgeable in the history of the Jim Thorpe area and recommended the best sites and restaurants to visit while we were there. The 3-course breakfast is not to be missed. We had a lovely stay for our anniversary and can't wait for the opportunity to visit again.

Best B&B we have visited since the pandemic. Comfort, artwork, and breakfast just perfect in all respects. Cozy and what you want and expect. House is a historic gem that owners are wonderful to share with guests. Just enough around outside the front door in Jim Thorpe to be interesting without touristy.

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!

Are you familiar with the phrase, It doesn't get much better than this? Well, the Dolon House epitomizes that! This inn is a true labor of love for Michael and Jeffri. They have taken an 1888 mansion, maintained its integrity, filled it with antiques and art, provided a homey relaxed atmosphere in which to visit the quaint town of Jim Thorpe, and offered not only superlative hospitality but gourmet cuisine. I have traveled the world and stayed at many fine places, and the Dolon House ranks among the very best!
