About Us
In 1989, Nathaniel “Nic” East – an artist who wanted a change of pace from the city life moved from Philadelphia into a property that would later be known as The Flagstaff Lodge. He loved every medium and put all of his love, passion and talent into the home that he purchased. His obsession with post and beam architectural style is easily noticed as you walk through the modern day property. Alluring stained glass and metal works can be seen throughout The Flagstaff Lodge, all from the original owner. He lived in the property for 40 years before it was purchased in 2019. Since then, we have committed ourselves to creating a place that is not only a lodge but an experience which pays homage to Jim Thorpe and brings the elements from the outside in.
Our Mission
Our Mission at The Flagstaff Lodge is to provide our guests with a unique and memorable experience. Our lodge is located minutes away from the historic and quaint town of Jim Thorpe – a town rich with history and beauty. The town has a myriad of sites which provide days of unique excursions from the Old Jail to the No. 9 Coal Mine and Museums or even taking a tour of wineries and distilleries. Not only is there so much to explore in the town, but if you wanted to be immersed in the natural wonders of the world, you can enjoy hiking especially on the very popular Switchback Trail to fishing in local trout ponds to biking and of course, white water rafting. And, after a whole day of enjoying the attractions of Jim Thorpe, visit our local restaurants and explore our interesting and unique shops. We want you to enjoy The Flagstaff Experience.
