This was the perfect house with lots of beds for our family! It was super clean, comfortable! walkable to shops and restaurants in Jim Thorpe and a short drive to ski mountains!
A perfect place to stay in Jim Thorpe. The host was great with communication. The home was well organized and very clean. We went up for the Winterfest and a concert at Penns Peak. We had a great weekend!

A beautifully decorated, well-equipped, and comfortable location from which to access the many attractions in Jim Thorpe. Off-street parking is a plus. One bathroom might be a challenge for larger groups, but for us (3) was not a problem.
The Switchback house is lovely! House was spotless and very well stocked, had everything necessary for a wonderful experience. Location is very convenient to downtown Jim Thorpe. We had a great time and would highly recommend the Switchback House!!!
Stayed 2 nights as a getaway with my husband. Home was easy to get to, and very convenient to the shops and restaurants. The touches all around of the area city.The beds were very comfortable.I loved
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.
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.
The entire family enjoyed our stay. The house was very clean, had lots of games and toys to entertain my grandson. To the point he didn't want to leave. The host was very easy to work with and the checking in and out was easy.
