About this property

Step inside this captivating 4-bedroom, 2-bath historic railroad residence, where we've poured our hearts into its restoration. This dwelling, once the original railroad station home, holds a special place in history. I take great pride in its transformation, and while it retains some of its rugged allure, it's brimming with character that will withstand the test of time.

Great for our one night stay

It was a quick stay but it was very nice. Beds are super comfortable. The train noise was barely noticable as a matter of fact half of the people said they didn't notice it at all. Location was right off highway but in a really quiet neighborhood. Went for a morning walk, the street was safe and quiet. Highly recommend!

Lots of Potential

Overall, this is a fine property. Plenty of room with lots of natural light. Washer/Dryer is recently purchased. Flooring new and adds to overall brightness of property. A few issues...in the Master' bedroom, there is a hump in the flooring which, when unaware of it, causes one to run into the door since one doesn't expect the door to grab. Also, in Master Closet, there needs to be quarter round installed YESTERDAY!. The almost one inch difference in heights results in stubbed toes and worse. There were no rods in any of the bedrooms; additionally, the dishwasher door is a bit off center which gives the impression the thing will leak if used. Now, the property owner did a fine job addressing our concerns during our stay which we greatly appreciated. Also, making timely repairs to these issues will make this property one we would consider using again. The covered driveway on the front of the house was greatly appreciated as the weather was not the best during our stay. Like we said, a fine property with lots of potential.

Cute Historic Remake

Came in for a wedding with my family. Home was clean and comfortable also close to highway, restaurants and a Super Walmart (to get food to cook). Well stocked cabinets with everything we needed to cook all meals for our family. Would definitely return when I’m back in town!

Wedding Weekend

We really enjoyed our stay. The property was very clean and comfortable. We had some plumbing issues but was able to get it fixed quickly by the on call help. Thank you for a good stay.

Great stay!!

We had a great stay! The accommodations were really nice. We made good use of the large kitchen, dining and laundry. The kids enjoyed the big backyard. Communication with Kristin was great also, as it turns out, we had to extend our stay for two extra days, and reaching out to her and Vrbo turned out to be really easy. Definitely recommend!

Nice place to stay and would do it again

The property was located in a nice neighborhood outside of town. The accommodations were excellent. We had 4 adults and three children in our party. The stay was quite enjoyable.
