The Presidential Stay, Converted Railcar in DuBois

Reviews

• Poor timing for the amenities

  4/5

  We really loved staying in the presidential car, you can tell just how much care and work has gone into the life of this car, the attached bathroom was so beautiful. Truly an amazing job.

  Our pain point was the amenities on site, our plan was to get in and stay at the park all day. But the restaurant was closed, the mini golf was a bit sad and hard to walk, we gave up before the 9th hole. The ice-cream store was musty and the food options were disappointing. It was a bit frustrating that they couldn't tell us anything about the property.

  We really wanted this to be a destination, but we had to pack back into the car for dinner. It would have been nice to get a note that all the amenities were closed so we could have planned better.

  All in all and amazing experience and could have been the bees knees, really worth the stay!

• Great experience!

  My 2 daughters and I spent the night in the Presidential train car. Thoroughly enjoyed the accommodations, the historical items throughout and especially enjoyed our meal at the Angry Goat Restaurant. The staff was friendly and attentive and the food

  The manager of the train station, Matthew, added to out experience by adding historical information we did not previously know. He was friendly and extremely helpful during our stay.

• Old -fashioned, good time fun.

  Staying in the Presidential Suite was amazing. For me it's the history and beauty of craftsmanship. For the kids it's the bunk beds and porter bells. This was our second year coming to celebrate our Paislee's birthday. The nostalgia of the train car, and then add in mini golf and a huge collection of animatronic dinosaurs and it's a wonderful weekend. Not to mention how they helped us with celebrating our girl. They made her 10th birthday very memorable.

  It was a surprise for my husbands birthday. He loved it and said the icing on the cake was the dinosaurs. I wish everything thing would have been open. They don't tell you when making reservations that everything on property is closed. They should tell you that. He enjoyed it.

  We stayed in the Presidential Train Car, and what a fun experience! Clean and well-maintained while keeping to the original look and feel of the train car. We appreciated the modern bathroom addition and entryway with a fridge & coffeemaker. Peaking out the windows and seeing dinos poking through the snow was a favorite for my kiddo. My husband enjoyed exploring the train and all its buttons! We look forward to returning when the weather is warm to enjoy the rest of the experiences!
