Incredibly cool all-inclusive rental experience

The owners of this property did an amazing job preserving this historic landmark and repurposing it into a beautiful rental home. Being inside a historic train depot was an unforgettable rental experience, with the decor adding the perfect final touch.The hosts were wonderful with communicating, I stayed here with 9 other guests and it felt big enough to accommodate us all. Plenty of bedding, kitchen utensils, towels, etc. We had a peaceful, relaxing stay and I look forward to renting this landmark in the future.
Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025
