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.
Such a unique stay! I loved seeing the history of the Presidential Car, and my 6 year thought sleeping in a real train was the coolest thing. We definitely have plans to come back when the weather is nicer so we can really explore all there is to offer here.

My husband loves trains
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.

Authentic Experiencd w/ Modern Conveniences
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!

The host never replied to us. When we arrived the property was never cleaned. All of the beds had been slept in and the linens were dirty. The towels had not been washed. We found coffee mugs with half drank beverages sitting out. The snacks were pilfered through. The trash had not been taken out. We contacted the host via phone and email. Never heard back. We called VRBO support and they made us wait an hour for the host to respond. Then we called the property management group and they made us wait an hour. The host still never responded. By 10 pm we had enough and left and had to pay for a hotel.
