Did not know what to expect but was pleasantly surprised staying at this property. Rooms were very clean, staff at front desk and restaurant were nice. Compact space inside the caboose, but still comfortable.The grounds are beautiful. It was a fun, different experience.

An overall great and unique experience. We spent two nights in the Mail Car, which was very clean and seemed to have been recently renovated. It even had central air, which was nice. My daughter loved her Murphy bed, “giant tv”, and her own bathroom. Almost as much as my wife and I enjoyed having a bedroom and bathroom of our own. The on-site petting zoo was a big hit. So was the model train museum right next door. We only ate at the restaurant once but the food and service were both very good. In fact the staff was a standout. Friendly and helpful from beginning to end. Personal touches like a call from the front desk maybe 20 minutes after check-in to make sure we got into the room okay, and the waiter giving my daughter a dollar so she could make the model train go while we waited for our food really matter.

Worth the stay if you have younger kids.

Staff is very nice, the grounds are fantastic for kids. They have a petting zoo and other activities free with the stay. Some of the train cars are newer than others. Mine was very old and needed some updating but it was still a fun and different experience. It was also convenient to shopping and Dutch Wonderland.

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.

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.
