We love day trips to Jim Thorpe to ride bikes on the scenic bike train, check out one of the many festivals they have in town or just walk around the quaint town with a ton of history. Our favorite restaurant here is the Stone Row Pub. Led by a husband and wife team, they offer really yummy, fresh food for omnivores to vegans to gluten free folks. They also have a great drink menu and are located in a cozy old row home. The menu changes seasonally so be sure to check their website for the most up-to-date menu. Note: Stone Row is closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

Just down the street from the Stone Row is Moya, another great option for dining in Jim Thorpe. Moya is a slightly different vibe from Stone Row and a bit more upscale but the food is great! The restaurant highly recommends making reservations beforehand and is closed on Wednesdays.

Devil's Hole is a cool hike right outside of Cresco, PA. the hike is fairly easy and flat but you'll need to cross rivers so wear shoes you won't mind getting wet. The trail brings you into really cool ruins of what is rumored to be an old speakeasy or skiing lodge. Legend has it, there was a bottomless lake at this location -- anyone that swam in it sank to hell! There are remnants of a large double fireplace and other parts of the old stone structure.

We enjoy having drinks on the porch of the Harry Packer Mansion Inn, with its great views of downtown Jim Thorpe and the train station. You can opt to do a self-guided tour beforehand or just head to the lounge. They also do murder mystery weekends that look like fun but we haven’t participated.

When we're staying at the house for longer visits, I usually make the 40-minute trek to Wilkes-Barre to hit the Wegmans. Their grocery selection is the best in the area. There are also lots of other big box stores within a couple miles like Target, Marshalls and Home Depot for any other needs.

Sightseeing
The Lehigh Gorge Scenic Railway is a fun old-timey train that will take you up through the mountains. In the warmer months, they do a scenic bike train where you can load your bikes onto the train and they'll drop you at the top of the mountain and you can ride your bikes down. You can bring your own bike or rent one from the company at the beginning of the trail. It's mostly downhill and flat so it's a great ride for the whole family. Be sure to pack a lunch and plenty of snacks!
