Ratings and reviews
10 / 10Outstanding·Jun 2026
We found this place by accident even though we have stopped in Dubois for years. We could not have been happier with our stay. The charm of staying in a real rail car was indescribable and it was amazing how much they could fit into that space making it a comfortable stay. Lots of little amenities that you would not normally expect were also greatly appreciated. I encourage anyone who wants to do something a little "off the beaten path" to stay in one of the available rail cars. The site is also part of a larger complex that has a very nice bar and restaurant, an ice cream shop, mini golf and a very impressive full scale outdoor dinosaur exhibit. Perfect for a family get away.
8 / 10Excellent·Jun 2026
A unique and charming experience! The train car was clean, comfortable, and perfectly suited our needs for a one-night stay. One of the best parts of the property is that there’s plenty to do without ever having to leave—ice cream, mini golf, and several dining options are all conveniently located on-site.
There were a few minor areas where the experience could be improved. Better signage directing guests to the train cars would be helpful, as we didn’t realize they were located beyond the mini golf area and initially had some trouble finding them. Our room also lacked towel hooks, which would have been a convenient addition.
The bathroom door didn’t fully latch; it would close, but if bumped even slightly, it would swing back open. Finally, while not a necessity, adding a TV would be a nice enhancement. We would have enjoyed relaxing with a late-night show before bed.
Overall, this was a fun and memorable stay, and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a unique lodging experience.

Very quaint area, each caboose decorated in a train theme.
6 / 10Average·Apr 2026
The unit was extremely adorable and the bed was amazingly comfortable! However, check-in instructions were provided to use the keyless entry and even gave some troubleshooting info. But, when we arrived the keyless entry was completely dead. May have just needed batteries. They had to be aware of the issue becuase they left the back door unlocked and slightly proped open. We entered through the back door which led to the bathroom. No other train cars were occupied so other than the onsite restaurant ( which was fabulous!) the property seemed as if they could have been out of business! It didn't help that I called the property manager on # provided at 5pm Sunday, but no response! I was concerned with how to lock the door when we left for dinner. We had to leave it open so we could get back in. Upon checkout I text him that we had to leave the door unlocked again, no response. And, I alao emailed him, no response. It's two days later and we have not heard a thing. Very disappointed at the lack of communication and the fact we had to enter an unlocked unit several times during our stay and leave our personal items unsecured. Most other travelers would have left and demanded a refund. We chose to treat it as a camping experience with no locks on a tent, but we didn't pay for a camping experience. It's too bad the property manager is not responsive, this review could have been 5 star if it weren't for his outright rude dissmissiveness. SMH
