We had a blast staying in this rental! The beds were comfortable, AC was cold, and we appreciated the kitchen and extra bathroom. Our kids are already asking when we can come back!

It was perfect to just get away even if it was only 40 minutes from home! We were able to relax and yet we were close to shopping and restaurants. We enjoyed every minute in the train car. It was set up perfect for us and as some of our group were unable to make it, we're already talking about going back! Such a fun couple of nights. The beds were comfy, the bathrooms were great. The kitchen had everything we needed.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The kids thought it was such a cool place and have asked when we can go back to the “train house”. We are in the area to visit family a couple times a year so we will likely stay again if it’s available. The beds were very comfortable! Everything was easy to do and figure out with instructions provided.
