Sarah, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was a super convenient and fun place to stay while my family visited the area for Day Out with Thomas. The caboose was comfortable, food at the restaurant was great, and we enjoyed the gift shop, petting zoo, and small train playground area.
Beau, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is the best place to stay. A must for adults and kids who love trains.
Teresa, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This place is SO CUTE! Very charming and unexpected! We had to travel to the area for a wedding and found this place for the night before. After a very long and rainy drive from Michigan we were so excited when we arrived! The ONLY criticism I would give is the mini split AC in the bunk room had a very bright light on it and wouldn’t turn off, so we didn’t sleep much. But the charm, unique design, yummy restaurant, and gift shop made up for it. Wish we could’ve stayed longer!
Amanda, 1-night trip
