The Depot, as it is known locally, is a truly one of a kind property located just a mile outside of Salina's eastern city limits. It includes 44 acres of combined bottom cropland, meadows, and woods on a dry creek. Buried deep in the woods are the living quarters, consisting of a decommissioned 1906 Rock Island Caboose (rented separately) and Santa Fe rail depot, circa 1880. Both were restored to a modern level of quality with Hickory floors, custom Birch cabinetry, Pine ceiling and Alder woodwork. Sitting in the center of a county section at the end of a half mile long private drive, it's very easy to forget the city is only a mile away.

We were greeted by two deer as we drove down the winding drive to this amazing spot. The kitchen is awesome; the decor is adorable; and bed and bedding so comfortable! I cannot recommend this spot highly enough!!
If I’m ever back in Salina I will stay here. It’s not far out of the city but feels like it’s isolated in the country. The house itself is so nice and clean. Communicating with the owner was super easy.
This historic depot was an awesome place. Location was peaceful and beautiful - but close to town. Beautiful workmanship inside and decor was so inviting. Great to sit out in the deck and relax to nature’s sounds. Manager was quick and helpful responding to our questions.
