About this property

The Philing Station: Restored 1920's Gas Station. A retro vacation rental!

Not just a vacation rental.....but a retro experience!

Tune up your spirits *Re-fuel & Rest * *Step Back in Time!

We purchased this old gas station building in 2016 and spent 3 years restoring it. We opened for business in the spring/summer of 2019.
We’ve kept as much of the original building’s elements as possible while restoring it with a mid-century vibe and local history. There are many vintage items to help you immerse yourself in the '50s. The bay area has been converted into living/sleeping space including TV & seating area as well as queen-sized bed & dresser. The futon folds down to sleep one person. The back room has 2 twin beds and dresser as well. It leads to a fenced backyard with shaded patio and gas grill. The kitchenette features refrigerator, stove top, oven & microwave. Cupboards are stocked with dishware/utensils/cookware. The dining area has a formica table and seats 3 or 4. The bathroom has a tub/shower unit. (Not ADA compliant).The utility room offers a washer and dryer. Plenty of parking available to side and front of building.

Much nearby outdoor adventures:
Cowboy Trail: Close to the Cowboy Trail for biking trips.
Long Pine State Park: Picnic, hike and tube the creek.
Scenic Niobrara River: Canoe, kayak or float the river.
Smith Falls State Park:. Picnic, hike to the falls, wade in the river.

Fun homelike visit

The beds were extremely comfortable. We slept very well. The unit is very clean. The host even left a bottle of water and a couple sodas and a twin bing candy bar. Those were wonderful to enjoy during our visit. Especially arriving late at night. FYI the Sandhills Lounge in Long Pine (the city next to Ainsworth) serves delicious food til 10pm. The roast beef al jus is absolutely amazing at the Sandhills Lounge. Now back to the unit- although it is by the road the road noise is not a problem. The curtains work well and there is a brightly lit filling station across the street. This is actually a benefit as just enough light perks trough the blinds into the kitchen that you can safely walk to the bathroom in the middle of the night without turning on the lights. There is a full size washer and dryer with laundry soap that can be used by people with sensitive skin. That is a major plus. The antique scale can be used to weigh yourself which is fun. There is a door between the large room with the queen bed and the room with the trundle bed. This is wonderful if you are with someone who snores. The room with the queen bed also has a day bed so I would say the unit sleeps 5. I really enjoyed my stay.
