You actually stay in rehabbed caboose cars! Kitschy and Cool. We actually stayed in the family car (the only 1 available when I booked) - but we made it work - hubby was sweet and slept in 1 of the 4 bunk beds in the back, leaving me the full-sized bed. Free WiFi available. Restaurant was good serving comfort and local specials. We took a local Amish Tour special (small bus tour; movie and tour of a. Look-a-like home and school (one room). Guides were good and we learned more about the Amish. Good recommendations for local eateries. Quilt shopping a must for me!!! Many places to go and look/shoo/buy - just googled! Drove behind buggies and took a buggy ride too! There’s both a model train museum Very close and the PA train museum is also close-by. Loads of places to purchase crafts and local produce. A really fun and informative trip.

Great unique place to stay! I can totally se hosting events and parties there. We never tried the restaurant. Gift shop was great, lots of stuff. Staff is super friendly even with our late check in. They have a process for late check in that is seamless, but you have to call in advance.

It was a unique experience staying in a train car. The rooms were clean but the windows behind the curtains were not. It's very good for older couples or families with young children. The check in staff member was very abrupt and unfriendly but the lady who started her shift later that day made up for it. The rest of the staff were very friendly. It is well worth the experience.
