"If you want to plan an unique trip, you have to check this place out. The property is beautiful, the cottages are lovely with views and we were so comfortable. Our bed was adjustable. The highlight of our trip was the train ride into Jim Thorpe Pennsylvania. They have their own train stop with a little station to wait in. It was like stepping back into history, riding the train. We had hours to shop, eat and tour Jim Thorpe..."

"We came to Tamaqua for a wedding at Stonehenge Gardens and needed accommodations near by. The Village at Houser Crossing was a perfect retreat! Carolee was inviting and the grounds were well maintained. We stayed in the Tree Top Loft which was perfect for the 2 of us. We also took some time to take a gentle hike down the rail trail and along the river, it was perfectly peaceful."

"The Village at Houser’s Crossing is an incredible and cozy getaway! The units are pristine, charming and welcoming. It’s literally the gateway to the Poconos including nearby Tamaqua and Jim Thorpe where our nation’s coal industry and steam railroads took shape. Speaking of railways - what an incredible experience to be picked up by the steam train right on the property and then whisked away to Jim Thorpe and beyond. Your special hostess Carolee will assure that every detail and..."

"Excellently appointed, beautifully furnished, pleasantly laid out second floor apartment with comfy queen size adjustable bed in a generously sized room with a large, bathroom, warm and well-lit living room and a bright and spacious eat in kitchen. Each room was thoughtfully accessorized as if our host knew us and prepared for our arrival. The location is remote yet within easy driving distance of several nice restaurants and entertainment venues. The site is replete with many hiking, biking, kayaking and..."

"We had a fabulous stay at Houser's Crossing this past Memorial Day weekend! From the moment we spoke, Carolee provided all sorts of helpful information. She was instrumental in getting our private pickup by the Reading and Northern railroad on a trip to Jim Thorpe. This is a huge perk of staying there - a private whistlestop to and from Jim Thorpe. She also took care of all the arrangements for our Lehigh Gorge railroad trip. The accommodations were wonderful!..."

"Our stay at Houser’s Crossing was fantastic. Everything was clean and the property was a perfect location right near the railroad. The owners are great and were easy to reach with any questions. My son loves trains and the owners and their friend were amazing and showed him around and talked to him about the history of trains in the area. Will definitely be staying there again!!"
