We really enjoyed our stay in the Red Car..everything was as described. Easy access and clean.
It was so hot in the room we had to leave. Sent messages to evolve and the host and received no response.
Room was cute though and seemed clean.
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.
The train car was adorable and very accommodating. Quiet surroundings. We enjoyed our stay
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.
