Dr Bonner House Bed and Breakfast

215-651-0805

An intimate and elegant bed and breakfast suite located in Historic Summit Hill.  The Switchback Rail Road passed the 100 year old home of Dr. Bonner.  Dr. Bonner who practiced medicine for more than 50 years was known and loved by most of the residents of Summit Hill and the surrounding areas.  

The Gravity Rail Road moved coal from the nearby mines down the mountain to Mauch Chunk (now Jim Thorpe) to canal boats which transported the coal down the Lehigh River Canal to Philadelphia and beyond.  On Sundays the railroad was used for passenger travel to Mauch Chunk.  This exciting excursion is said to be the origin of modern roller coasters.
