 Verified This train car is one the most unique and coolest places I’ve stayed! The work that must have gone into updating and renovating this train car into the modern oasis that is can be felt in all the spectacular details and comfortable furnishings. This place has literally everything you could need and is laid out so incredibly well. 10 out of 10 - I know I will be back again at some point!

 Verified I surprised my wife with this getaway and we were more than thrilled with all that this unique retreat had to offer. A relaxing walk around the pond, steaks on the grill, nice dinner with family, and a quick visit to the local fishing spot in Bennett Springs, made for a fantastic stay. Thank you for all the love you have put into this gem of a space. We have already told others about it and hope to one day return ourselves. -Scott & Kristen (Kansas)

 Verified Perfect place to celebrate our anniversary. Felt very comfortable. Decor was top notch and with the theme. I am very critical of mattresses and I have no complaints. Slept great. Such a fun and unique place. Our only regret was not booking another night(we looked but it was already booked). Can’t wait to return.
