About this property
Authentic 1940s Pullman Train Car Nestled in Bucolic Catskill Woods
All aboard for a one-of-a-kind stay! This lovingly restored train car is a genuine 1940s gem, transported across the country and brought back to life. Step inside to be transported through time—nestle into your cozy suite, play vintage board games, or unwind by the fire pit. Tucked in the tranquil Catskill Mountains, this nostalgic retreat offers a world away from it all.
Home Sweet Hudson is a proud member of VRMA, an international Vacation Rental Management Association. Our mission as a professional management company is to foster professionalism, collaboration, and growth for short-term rentals in our area. We hope you will help us support our mission by abiding by all of our house rules, supporting our local community, and being respectful of the home during your time in the beautiful Hudson Valley.
You can rest easy knowing your stay is covered with $1,500 in “All-Risk” Damage Protection. Although rare, accidental damage from guests does happen. Traditionally, this was managed via a security deposit or vacation rental damage insurance purchased by the guest. Both are cumbersome and often have big limitations in protection.
With “all-risk” protection, all accidental damage from a guest is covered unless specifically excluded such as, but not limited to, normal wear and tear, infestation, or prior damage.
We hope you enjoy your vacation with peace of mind knowing that if an accident happens and damages occur, you are protected under Waivo.
Sunswick Railcar is proud to be one of 100 winners of Airbnb’s OMG! Fund, awarded to ideas for unique design and immersive experience, and marking this restored 1940s train a truly one-of-a-kind stay.
As you enter, you'll be greeted by the original porter's seat, a perfect place to make-believe for an afternoon. Just beyond lies the elegant, wood-paneled lounge, the heart of which is a stately bar from the train's former days. You'll also find a roll-down screen for the projector, so you can connect your favorite streaming services when you want to, and suspend disbelief when you don't. Relax here, or immerse yourself in the period design and space of the office, surrounded by windows on all sides. The railcar also offers two charming suites, the Empire Suite and Adirondack Suite, each complete with plush robes and slippers. Off the back, a brand-new bathhouse offers a modern spa experience, with a luxurious soaking tub, large skylights and a dramatic picture window framing your private woods. Relax in modern comfort, while still feeling connected to nature. The train itself includes a half-bath, cozy shower room and a petite kitchen, preserving the authentic charm of a 1940s railcar adventure.
