I stayed in the farmhouse & it was gorgeous! Designed to be a bridal suite during wedding season, it had lots of mirrors, great lighting and two very comfortable Murphy beds. Shower was new with rain forest head. Cannot say enough good things about property & staff.
Think of bridesnaids getting ready here! Outlets galore!

This place is being remodeled and the units that have been remodeled look amazing. Unfortunately we didn’t get one of those. The carpet was old and the bunk beds did not look safe. Our teenage girls would not climb up to sleep on them for fear of them falling. More bracing would have helped. We only ate ice cream at the restaurant and it was a bit over priced. The service appeared slow so we didn’t return. It is in a very convenient location, close to so much to do.

Great experience for a train buff

Sleeping in a caboose is a one of the coolest things I've ever done! It was cozy and romantic. It would have been blast to do with small kids. The grounds are beautiful and it was awesome to sit on the front patio and watch the steam engine go by several times during the day. The staff was amazing!

A unique lodging experience! I booked this for my family of three. I loved a lot of things about it. Inside the caboose, it was clean! It was simple but had everything I needed. I appreciate that the beds had wheels, I was able to push it against the wall for my 4 year old. You can regulate the temperature. Outside, I loved the open air. We enjoyed the area on the other side of the caboose, it has a mini play area for children. The motel has other areas to explore, even has a petting zoo and budgy rides for a fee. I appreciate the peacefulness and quietness, a mini getaway from the city.

We stayed in one of the train cars which was terrific. These had such a quaint charm. Everything was in great condition and it was super quiet. Even better was waking up and walking over to the petting zoo and petting the goat, donkeys, miniature horses and alpaca. This would be a wonderful place for families and was a great place for a couple as it was relaxing, unique and beautiful. We also had breakfast at the Casey Jones restaurant which was on the premises. It was hearty and charming.
