A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of local history! This innkeeper’s dream property offers multiple income streams and exceptional live/work potential. Currently operated as an established lifestyle bed-and-breakfast, the property features five spacious guest suites with private baths, elegant formal living and dining rooms, and a welcoming cafe area. Separate and spacious owner’s quarters include two bedrooms, two full baths, a fully equipped chef’s kitchen, and a private den.
Additional income is generated by a private one-bedroom, one-bath efficiency apartment and a newly renewed long-term USPS lease. The property offers ample private parking, while the enormous detached garage features five bays and a converted barn studio, ideal for entertaining, creative pursuits, or additional privacy away from the inn.
The current owners operate the inn primarily on weekends and during high-demand seasons, leaving meaningful opportunity to expand availability and revenue. Beautifully landscaped grounds include a private fenced yard, classic wraparound porch, and balconies overlooking the surrounding mountain scenery.
Nestled in the foothills of the Appalachians, the property is convenient to historic Jim Thorpe, Blue Mountain Resort, Hawk Mountain, wineries, golf, hiking, rafting, and other Pocono attractions. Steeped in local history, it is also home to what is believed to be one of Pennsylvania’s oldest continuously operating post offices, adding a truly distinctive legacy to this remarkable property.
Offered turnkey with an established operating history, an extraordinary opportunity awaits!
