We loved our stay at the Iron Horse Bed & Breakfast. It is such a unique lodging option - how often do you get to sleep in a caboose?! We brought our bikes and rode on the adjacent Palouse to Cascades Trail, which was right next to the property. The breakfasts were outstanding, the property was very interesting from a historical perspective, and the proprietor clearly loves his job and is a wonderful host. 10/10 would stay there again, and we highly recommend it.

Loved staying in an old rail caboose! It was nicely adapted to be a comfortable cabin for our stay. Breakfast was good with many options - it would have been nice if we could have had it a little earlier since our plans required an early start.

Not a single complaint

The staff is super friendly. When we sat down to breakfast I realized they didn’t have a protein option that I could eat. When I mentioned it, they made something for me that I could eat. They also treated my two and a half year old granddaughter like a guest and not an inconvenience which was very appreciated by all of us!

Such a unique and memorable bed and breakfast! We stayed in the main bunkhouse, everything was clean and cozy and the owners were very friendly. We walked the property, met the chickens and goats and had the BEST breakfast on our way out! We will absolutely be back next time we’re in the area.

Our room was immaculately clean. And the hosts, Matt and Leanne were so welcoming and gracious. This was a great place to stay close to Suncadia and just minutes to the golf course. They have chickens, goats and turkeys and it was fun to see them and feed them apples. They had plenty to offer for breakfast including fresh eggs and muffins, their own honey and blueberry syrup. Our room in the main building was spacious. My only suggestion would be if they had a small table and chair in the room for putting on makeup. We took a short hike around the historic railroad trail out back and it was interesting to see the photos. I am usually not crazy about B&Bs because it can be uncomfortable with the owners hovering about, but this was really great -- more like an Inn. Matt and Leanne were so professional, kind and helpful.

Very relaxing and comfortable stay. Matt is a great cook and very knowledgeable about the area and willing to share and answer any questions. His wife Leanne and daughter were super. The animals were a treat and the railroad history and cabooses a great theme. This is a hidden gem and I would highly recommend it.

Got what is promised. They did their best to keep the train compartment theme as is, don't expect too fancy living. It was a good themed experience for a day. Hosts are pretty friendly as well.

Very clean and comfortable — slept great! The breakfast was amazing and plentiful. We loved walking around the grounds, meeting the chickens and goats and walking the historic trail loop. The owners are so attentive and friendly. The lobby is full of interesting memorabilia, books, and games. Only wish we could have stayed longer!

The property is very unique with it's history and the 4 caboose suites. Our stay was memorable and we hope to return next year. However, we were a bit disappointed in the breakfast (not everyone likes eggs) maybe a couple choices for hot food would be nice. Our caboose could have been cleaned a bit better and the grounds needed some attention also. Matt was a fantastic host, very friendly and loves to cook! We highly recommend the Iron Horse :)

I stayed in the bunkhouse, not a caboose. Room was very small but clean. No TV or little fridge. Breakfast was simple but not “ cook to order”. Located right on the rail trail which was nice. Probably would not stay there again but it was not bad.
