Weekend trip

Convenient. Comfortable. Clear & quick communication. Overall great experience. Really enjoyed private porch off bedroom. Appreciated the themed decor. Off street parking a plus. Only 1 bath which required patience, but that's part of the "charm" of an older home

Beautiful property

My friends and I booked this place last minute when our other house canceled on us 2 days before. We stayed here over new years and had a blast. Owner was very accommodating and communicated well. The place was super clean and in a great location within walking distance to the town. I couldn’t recommend this place enough.

House was great for 4 friends taking a weekend trip to Jim Thorpe. It had everything you’ll need for a stay and was clean and accurately advertised. The walk downtown was easy and convenient and the local grocery store was a close drive. The hosts have a wall of brochures for local business and activities and a very thorough and informative notebook for the house and local activities. The host was easy to communicate with and responded quickly to messages. We found some amazing restaurants and fun shops downtown. The train ride was amazing - first class is the way to go even though I expect the open air car is fun as well. Bonus activity was the local escape room. It’s run by a local family and was super fun.

Great spot to enjoy the town!

We spent a cold weekend in Jim Thorpe after Thanksgiving to relax, shop, and bike, and Jill's home was the perfect cozy spot for our family (3 adults, 2 kids). The main shopping and dining area of the town is a few blocks' walk down the hill. Bedrooms were comfortable and private, the kids (age 5 & 7) enjoyed the attic TV room, and the kitchen had all that we needed to cook meals. Private parking was a big plus and we even took the kids on a short hike on the Switchback Trail right outside of the back yard. This would be a great spot in all seasons. We'd love to come back again!

Sibling Trip - Again!

This was not our first trip to Jim Thorpe staying at The Switchback House. We absolutely love everything about it. From its cleanliness, to the charming decor highlighting Jim Thorpe/Mauch Chunk's past, to the location - we can walk to everything we need. The private off-street parking is the icing on the cake! We're bound to return ... Again!

Girls weekend

First time visiting Jim Thorpe and we couldn't have picked a better place to stay. Felt like home the minute we walked in! It deserves a five star rating because of the care you can see in the house. Clean, organized and quality products. Bathroom had plenty of new towels and extras like shampoo, lotion etc. Extra pillow and blankets. We didn't cook but the cupboards are filled with everything needed. They even had phone chargers for use! I will definitely be renting here again for our next visit.

Very nice, spacious home. 6 adults stayed there for a rafting weekend. Very good water pressure and hot water. New carpets had some off-gassing July 2025. Very close to a pleasant walking trail, and only a 20 minute walk into town.
