The Downtown Darling has so much potential but is a shadow of its original self. We had seven adults in town for a family gathering. We had a great time, but we had to do a lot of work to make the house acceptable when we arrived. On the plus side, the beds were fine and the bathrooms and kitchen were clean. The location was great - quiet and walkable to downtown. However, the furniture is worn and we had to do maintenance on the dining room chairs before we could use them. The outdoor area was unusable until we scrubbed the furniture and swept piles of leaves and twigs off the porch. We also had to sweep the front rooms when we arrived as there were crumbs and dirt on the floors. The towels were thin and worn out and basic items such as dish towels and silverware were miserly. Overall, the Downtown Darling needs a refresh and the outside areas need to be included in the cleaning regimen.

When we arrived the floors had dog hair and dog food on them. The beds had hair, food and stains. Basement door wired shut. Window broken. Curtains shredded. Smoke alarm chirping. Dirty door frames. Patched wall. Some furniture in poor condition. Host responded after an hour. Offered a different house for the night, saying the cleaners were new. We were 8 adults and 3 children. We couldn’t move the next day because of the wedding we were in town to attend. Host said she would go right away to the property and check it out. She also said she would give us a refund. This was on the phone and is not written. Then she texted me back and said the Cleaner sent her a video and it was all clean that we had set up the pictures and we’re trying to scam her. Her words: what you see is what you get. She said take it up with VRBO. VRBO says the money has already been distributed, there’s nothing they can do, and they gave us 120 credit toward a future booking with them; it was a real blight on an otherwise wonderful weekend. I had read warnings that VRBO did not back the customers very well and that there were hosts who set up scams like this. I guess I got caught. Don’t book this property.

I rented this house for the second year in a row due to it's convenient location to Bethlehem's Musikfest. It was adequate, but dirty. There were beer cans in the yard when we checked in. I did see a mouse in the hallway halfway through our stay. Old popcorn kernals under the pillows on the couch....things like that. Dead flys on top of the fridge when we checked in. For local TV - there is no way to watch the local channels like ABC, NBC, CBS, there is only a smartTV.
This charming single-family, 4-bedroom, 1.5-bath Downtown Bethlehem home—located within the Avenues and just a short walk to Main Street—offers classic character, spacious interiors, and inviting outdoor living. The first floor features a formal living room, formal dining room, half bath, dedicated study, laundry room, and a large kitchen with generous prep space that is fully stocked with cooking tools and essentials. All four bedrooms and a full bathroom are located on the second floor, providing privacy and a comfortable sleeping layout. Outside, guests can enjoy a landscaped, fully fenced yard with multi-level paver patios and conversation seating beneath a pergola canopied in wisteria, along with a separate smaller fenced section that can be used to safely separate a small dog if needed. This walkable, standalone home is ideal for guests looking to enjoy Bethlehem’s downtown while still having private indoor and outdoor space to relax. The house is located across from a wooded tree section of town, if seeing an occasional spider or bug indoors upsets you, this would not be the home to book. Free on-street parking is available in front of the home. If you have more than two cars, parking across the street in a parking zone is recommended. Please note: the garage is not included in the rental. It is tenant-occupied for storage year-round.
