Enjoy the same comforts of home as Jim Croce when you stay at this vacation rental in Downingtown, PA! This 1-bed, 1-bath gem is not only the former home of the American singer-songwriter, but it also features the outhouse used to create the ‘You Don’t Mess Around with Jim’ album cover. Take your own photo with the outhouse, then spend your days listening to records in the refurbished reading nook, kayaking in the Marsh Creek Reservoir, and bidding on souvenirs at the next-door auction house!
