About this property
Vintage Romance Finds Cozy Charm at Depot Cottage
Convenience and luxury combine in this imaginative and engaging Cottage just steps away from the Historic Train Station in this Charming All-American town. Our Vintage Travel/Train themed Cottage has family friendly features, like a children's train playroom, working model trains, stocked kitchen, and a spacious enclosed backyard for four legged babies. With romantic features like a beautiful vintage soaking tub and 100% linen bedsheets we fit any vacation requirement. Walkable to all needs.
In 1902 the Michigan Central Railroad opened Dowagiac's Historical Train Depot, built in a Tudor Revival Style. This would connect Dowagiac with the rest of the world and bring in the heart beat of this small spirited town.
Our Vintage Travel/Train themed Depot Cottage, just steps away from it, honors the glamour, flair, and history of this iconic landmark and the trains it has run. Convenience and luxury abound with vintage charm sure to capture your imagination.
We have everything you need to be home away from home with fully enclosed back yard for fur babies, fully stocked beautiful kitchen, spacious dining for all members of your family. Walking distance to everything you need including the charming downtown of Dowagiac with dining, entertainment, coffee shops, 24 hour gym, and shopping.
Leave your car at home and come by train! Or use the cottage as a home base for a quick convenient train trip into Chicago with direct fast service. Skip the traffic! Explore the historic train depot with its pot bellied stove museum, the industry of the 1900's that built Dowagiac, spend some time on the nature trails of Southwest Michigan College, explore the wine trail, or soak up the multiple Michigan beaches and all that pure Michigan has to offer.
Or just stay home and use our highspeed internet, smart tv, train playroom. Or dive into our luxury beds and linens and vintage restored copper soaking tub. Enjoy our exclusive locally roasted Depot Cottage coffee on the porch or in the hammock, enjoy our model train that runs through the house or the working train table, engage your imagination with the glamour and charm of a bygone area with modern convenience.
The house is all yours with a fully enclosed backyard and large front porch and a basement laundry. The garage is off limits to guests.
I live in a town near by so if you need anything let me know.
Family friendly and convenient to the historic downtown.
Our Cottage is walking distance to everything you need. Shopping, dining, entertainment, and travel. Leave the car at home and come by train!
There are three rooms; one king, one queen, and one with two twins. If you would like to do a 7th or 8th guest the twin beds unstack to four. Each guest after six is an additional $35 charge.
Lockbox entry located next to the door by the garage. Code is sent the day of check in.
