Wonderful place for a getaway
This was an incredible place to stay and would be a fantastic getaway for a couple or family. The train car was amazing and super comfortable. There was so much to do on the property, you could stay here for days and not get bored. Beautiful setting, too!

Springbreak
This property was unique and super fun! My kids loved playing outside, the hot tub and the stock tank pool. We did not play in the river due to temperatures and age of your kiddos. We made a fire at night and the kids loved having their own little train car rooms. The host was amazing!!!

An amazing well kept place
I’ve stayed at multiple places and I have to say that this is one of the best trips I’ve been on with my husband. The cold hindered us from doing all that there was to do but the coziness and quietness was exactly what we needed. The host are exceptional. Going above and beyond to make our stay fantastic. I can’t say enough about this place and we will hopefully return when the weather gets a little warmer.

NATURE, NOSTALGIA & THE NEWEST
This unique property is a panorama of three distinct "ages" in America. First is the "Natural Age" with beautiful dense forest untouched by human interference as far as the eye can see; the Black Warrior River winding across the property; lush vegetation and wildlife. Second is the "Industrial Age" with the centerpiece of the property - a vintage Pullman streamliner sleeper car from the glory days of rail travel in America. Third is the "Digital Age" with satellite tv's, good internet and cell phone connection. The owners/hosts are delightful! They are very welcoming and go out of their way to ensure that guests are comfortable and that their stay is enjoyable. They are readily available and very responsive to questions and/or any concerns. At the same time they are very respectful of guest privacy. The owners/hosts have skillfully refurbished the interior of the railcar. They have added modern details, pleasing decor, comfortable furnishings and new appliances thus creating a very homey atmosphere. They have carefully retained enough of the original features of the railcar (ceiling, passenger "call" switches, sliding doors and original porter's station) to maintain railroad authenticity and the integrity of the original Pullman creation. The property is private, secluded and feels like it's many miles from anything. Actually it's only a few miles from anything you might need. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to returning. James Ashley & Dr. John Garcia

Awesomely Unique Experience
Niki met us there on Friday night as we arrived to explain some of the things she thought we might have had trouble figuring out (she was right), which was a huge help. Both she and Chuck (the owners) were super helpful throughout our stay and you could tell that they genuinely wanted us to enjoy our stay, which we did. You can tell they have poured the heart into this place and my family enjoyed every aspect of the property. If you are looking for a peaceful retreat with many outdoor activities and all the conveniences of home, I recommend you give this property a hard look. Thanks Niki and Chuck, hope to be back.
