My husband, ESA pet, and I have traveled extensively throughout the State, and this is by far the best place we’ve stayed in recent memory. It is a delightful and extraordinary mix of museum, bed-and-breakfast, and nostalgia with all the modern amenities. The phrase “when you’re here, your family“ cannot be more accurate. The proprietors are beyond wonderful and welcoming from the moment you step in to the moment you check out. Breakfast is served to order and they even accommodated my particular dietary requirements with delicious creativity and personal flare. Other offerings arranged from fresh bake cookies and pastries to basic fruits and other healthy options. Additionally, I could’ve spent hours just wondering around looking at the impressive array of train memorabilia and pieces of history, both local and beyond. You will be hard pressed to find anywhere comparable, all at a highly reasonable cost. My husband and I have pledged to return there every time we travel through the area again, and immediately discussed making it our destination for our anniversary trip this year. We are thankful to the gracious staff who made our stay simply magical.

Super cute, fun stay! If you like sterile carbon copy hotel chains, this may not be for you. This place is unique and well done. Our 2 teenaged daughters and our dog loved our stay here. We were cozy in our comfortable beds. It isn’t luxurious, but it had everything we needed and was cute as a button! The owners/hosts were friendly and helpful. We will very likely stay here again.

This is the second time we've stayed, first time in a caboose and this time in the depot. The owners are so friendly and offered us a beer after we had ridden our bikes from North Bend. Will definitely return again!

Wish I'd booked a longer stay

We stopped here for a night while riding the Palouse/John Wayne/Iron Horse Trail from North Bend to Beverley. Everything was better than expected. The owner greeted us with cold pints which is exactly what we needed after a long day of riding! The place itself is like a museum with historical memorabila and lots of information about the building and operating of the railway. I opted for a room in the main building and was pleasantly surprised by the large size, cleanliness and extremely comfortable bed. The room was quiet and breakfast in the morning was excellent. Long story short, my only regret was planning a trip that only required one night here.

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.
