We have been staying here for years now when we go to Pennsylvania. Its very unique and something different than the normal Hotel setting. We love how its set in the middle of what seems like a peaceful Amish community. We give this a Strong A for a Grade and will be back in the Future

This is a wonderful place to take children, especially if they love trains. This is our second time bringing grandchildren for a stay and it was still so much fun. The rooms are comfortable, cool and clean. We were in the small family room. Watching the Strasburg train come and go was also a bonus, as was the petting farm. Only improvement we could see was maybe a playground for the kiddos.

This was a missed opportunity. The concept is such a cool idea and looks pretty neat from the outside. The authentic train cars come from all over the US and are set up on a track in a line like a real train...and then you go inside. Our caboose smelled heavily of mildew or something soured. The building materials used to renovate the car into a motel room were scraps just pieced together. The crown molding over our bed was in 3 mismatched sections, mobile home paneling on the walls, berber carpet, bad shower, etc. This could have been so cute. It was the most expensive night on our family's 16 day road trip vacation. I always splurge a little on several nights for motels that have character or are unique. I was so disappointed, as this stay was not memorable at all, at least not in a positive way. These rooms are not cheap. Please use some of this money and fix these train cars up to look like 1920's sleeper cars. A little sheetrock and rich colored paint on the walls, velvet curtains on the windows, antique furniture, etc. It wouldn't take much to make this place a really cool stop. I am okay with the exterior of the cars to be defunct, as it adds character to the theme. But it would be nice to be "wowed" when customers step inside for the night rather that sorely disappointed and left with buyers remorse.

Really cute cabooses, a big hit with the kids! There's a gorgeous barn where they have live music sometimes & 75 winding steps up the silo for the most incredible view! Also a walking path around a small pond that is gorgeous! We had dinner in the restaurant in the train car & everything was delicious. We will come again!

Somewhere different
Somewhere different to stay the night. Staff were very friendly and caboose was clean. Had a little trouble with lighting but not a big problem. We liked that the caboose was not touched up and still authentic paintwork. It adds character. Breakfast was good. Lots to do nearby. We loved the buggy ride.
