Hill Home Forge
-
We are perfect for romantic getaway or a relaxing retreat for the weary business traveler, or a haven for a few days of art, recreation, dining, and shopping. We are sheltered from the noise of town, but we are only 1.5 miles from all the attractions and restaurants in historic Jim Thorpe.
The Woodland Suite is our largest unit. It is shown here with view of the king bedroom as seen from the living room sofa.
The Woodland Suite has a new king bed and lovely craftsman style furniture including a dresser that is not in the photo. Original art, cathedral ceiling, and a view of the trees make this quiet retreat a feast for the eye.
The Woodland Suite has a sofa bed for one, and a balcony with a beautiful view of the woods. In the winter, the fireplace adds ambiance, and the stained glass warms the room with a cheery glow.
Hill Home Forge has an incredible porch facing the woods where guests can sit and relax, and perhaps see a deer or wild turkey. The beautiful stained glass windows are in our dining room, and are part of the art that is in every room at our bed and breakfast
The Great Room is our art gallery, and we offer tours to every guest. Many guests join us here to sit and chat over a cup of tea or a glass of wine.
This winter view of Hill Home Forge is from the driveway entrance. Our Iron Man stands at the entrance to our driveway, eager to welcome you to our bed and breakfast
The Woodland Loft has a beautiful new king bed in a large loft room with soaring cathedral ceilings. There is a balcony, a fireplace, and a kitchenette. This is a great room for a romantic getaway or a restful retreat.
The fireplace in the Woodland Loft is a wonderful place to sit and relax. The balcony with a view of the courtyard is off to the left, and you can watch TV from the bed or the chairs.

We stayed in the Woodland Loft room to celebrate our 30th anniversary. It was such a relaxing, inviting place! Secluded, but a short drive to town. Nic & Eileen were gracious hosts. We enjoyed our private balcony, as well as sitting on the back porch while waiting for breakfast. Nics stained glass work is amazing! Will definitely go back to this beautiful property again ;o)

Break away from the ordinary and book a visit to this beautiful property! Tucked in the trees,amongst hiking trails and gorgeous scenery, you will discover a peaceful retreat. The rooms are spotless,the breakfasts are tasty and Nic and Eileen are gracious and fascinating. The history behind this property will amaze you. Their hard work and dedication to a dream is yours to enjoy. The artwork and workshop/studio are not to be missed. Bustling downtown Jim Thorpe is only a few minutes away,yet returning "home" will feel like your own private oasis! Been here a few times and always a consistent treat!
4.8 out of 5Just a Great Weekend
February 13, 2011
I just wanted to share an excellent experience I had at Hill Home Forge in the cozy town of Jim Thorpe, Pa. I booked this weekend in search for a romantic and quality experience and I was not disappointed in the least. The rooms were immaculate and had everything you thought you forgot. All furniture and appliances were in "like new" condition and finally I found a bed that I could actually sleep in comfortably. The breakfast prepared by Eileen with pride was fresh and delicious. Nic was an excellent host and he shared some very interesting stories about the area if you were interested in knowning about them and if you weren't, he sensed it and just let you relax. Eileen and Nic are gifted with artist's flair and it shows throughout the inn. The inn is tucked into the woods far enough but close enough to town that you could be there in minutes. I have been to quite a few bed and breakfasts and I STRONGLY recommend this inn to anyone looking for a sure thing experience. We had the suite for Valentine's Day weekend and guess where we're going next year. Thank you to the wonderful hosts.

5 out of 5Wonderful!
November 02, 2010
My girlfriend and I stayed at Hill Home Forge this past summer and absolutely loved it. Nic and Eileen made us feel welcome from the time we got there, and the place was warm, welcoming and quaint. They have some interesting decorations around, thanks to Nic's artwork. The location is just outside of town, so you would have to drive into downtown Jim Thorpe, but that worked really well for us, and being about a mile outside of town let us feel distanced from the downtown scene and more in a country setting. The food was also phenomenal. I could not say enough good things about Hill Home Forge and we would definitely stay there again.
3.6 out of 5A Unique Experience!
October 27, 2010
This stay was a present to my husband. I thought he would enjoy learning about working with stained glass and he had a good time and learned a lot about the process. Nic and Eileen have done an amazing renovation on their home and Nic was full of information and enthusiasm for his work. The breakfasts were delicious and it is worth the time to get away to such a unique place.
4.4 out of 5Perfect mixture!
October 18, 2010
Hill Home Forge was the perfect place to stay if you wanted to visit Jim Thorpe but not stay in the down town area. The Forge was surrounded by nature and hiking trails but then was only a 5 min drive into town. The artwork was also extremly interesting and beautiful! We loved it and will be going back!
4.2 out of 5Peaceful forest getaway
October 14, 2010
My husband and I were pleasantly surprised by the immediate comfort we felt at Hill Home Forge. It is minutes from the historic district, yet completely isolated in the woods. We fell asleep to the sounds of crickets and awoke to visions of the sun streaming through the autumn leaves via the multiple windows in our room. Breakfast was also outstanding.
