The Dolon House Bed and Breakfast

All we could have hoped for in historic Jim Thorpe - breakfast by a master chef, a millionaire's home made into a brilliant BnB, an attentive host (kudos, Michael!), a central location to all you want to do, parking on premises, spacious rooms-- really all you could ask for.

Words simply cannot express how much we loved our stay at the Dolon House. This impeccably decorated inn is located on the main street of historic Jim Thorpe. Easy walking to everywhere. Michael and Jeffri are so helpful - they had great suggestions for touring and eating!! The breakfasts were phenomenal - three courses of deliciousness. Our absolute favorite.

Absolutely fabulous small Inn by the main street of historic Jim Thorpe. Full of history, and full of decorative memorabilia and art. The breakfasts are something different - three courses plus extras. Incredible! We just love the place!

The house is beautiful and instantly transports you back in time. The house is impeccably restored and yet comfortable with all the modern amenities you'd expect. The beds are comfortable, and the rooms are spacious. The collection of antiques and artwork just add to the experience. All this is yet outdone by the fabulous 3 course breakfast that is served each morning by you innkeepers, Jeffri and Michael. We looked forward to the dining experience each morning and were never disappointed! Jeffri and Michael were always ready to make dinner recommendations or suggest things to see in the Jim Thorpe area. We are already planning a return trip!

I have lived and worked in the Jim Thorpe area for over 30 years, but this past weekend I took my wife to town for her birthday to play tourist for a change of pace. We chose to stay from Friday to Sunday afternoon at the Dolan house B&B, renting out the Turret suite, which makes up the room that sits inside its iconic round tower. From that vantage point, you gaze straight down Broadway from above.  In short, the entire adventure was the definition of a 5 Star Experience! Having met Michael and Jeffri before; my expectations were admittedly high, but we were pleasantly surprised to have those expectations FAR exceeded. To begin, you’re in the very heart of Broadway and don’t have to waste a single minute parking, thanks to their ample sized private lot that even my truck pulled right into. Our room…along with the entirety of the house, is meticulously adorned in various pieces from numerous countries around the world! Not a single detail is missed, from the hand selected bottle of red wine sitting on the round table adjacent to the chocolates, to the second spoon set exactly as it should be during the three course breakfast. A breakfast I must add, that was the very best I had ever had.  The Dolan house is like a wonderful sampling of Europe’s fineries. As someone who has studied, worked, and lived in over two dozen countries myself, my standard for quality, novel experiences has its requirements. I was so impressed by the experience, that I would urge not only any tourists coming to town, but locals as well, to share the experience. Our town is lucky to have such great hosts as Michael and Jeffri at the forefront of excellence. For anyone who wants to remember what it’s like to truly enjoy the good old town of Jim Thorpe, book a night or two at the Dolan House B&B and go enjoy!

We had a great one-night stay at the Dolan House after riding the train and biking back to Jim Thorpe. It's a beautiful old house FILLED with interesting pieces, pictures, books, etc. The rooms were beautiful and the bed super comfortable. Our inn keeper was friendly and helpful with recommendations. The breakfast was out of this world great! Great location, close to everything.
