About this property
The Philing Station: Restored 1920's Gas Station. A retro vacation rental!
Not just a vacation rental.....but a retro experience!
Tune up your spirits *Re-fuel & Rest * *Step Back in Time!
We purchased this old gas station building in 2016 and spent 3 years restoring it. We opened for business in the spring/summer of 2019.
We’ve kept as much of the original building’s elements as possible while restoring it with a mid-century vibe and local history. There are many vintage items to help you immerse yourself in the '50s. The bay area has been converted into living/sleeping space including TV & seating area as well as queen-sized bed & dresser. The futon folds down to sleep one person. The back room has 2 twin beds and dresser as well. It leads to a fenced backyard with shaded patio and gas grill. The kitchenette features refrigerator, stove top, oven & microwave. Cupboards are stocked with dishware/utensils/cookware. The dining area has a formica table and seats 3 or 4. The bathroom has a tub/shower unit with toiletries. (Not ADA compliant). The utility room offers a washer and dryer. Plenty of parking available to side and front of building.
Service dogs are welcome.
Much nearby outdoor adventures:
Cowboy Trail: Close to the Cowboy Trail for biking trips.
Long Pine State Park: Picnic, hike and tube the creek.
Scenic Niobrara River: Canoe, kayak or float the river.
Smith Falls State Park:. Picnic, hike to the falls, wade in the river.
Keller State Park:. Picnic, hike and fish the ponds.

The Philiing Station is very interesting, comfortable, and clean. The decor is beautiful. The owners are available and helpful. We appreciated the treats. We would find unique things to look at each day. I enjoyed sitting at the 50's kitchen table with with coffee each day, taking in the surroudings.
