If you're a big railfan as myself, you'll love this place. It's a beautiful, amazing place, in a retro setting. The deck overlooking the local train tracks gives you some entertainment. We felt safe and secure during our stay.
What an awesome spot by the rails. If you like trains this is the place! Caboose interior is something else! Felt like traveling back in time with the old records and overall vibe. Highly recommended!
