PERFECT

The Choo Choo Inn has beautiful new finishes, and everything is top notch. We cooked a delicious dinner and ate on the back deck and enjoyed the bar height table and the comfy couches too. Warren was quick to respond to my email questions. The train decor is fun. The nearby trains are not loud, just a soothing clickity clack if you listen hard. This was only a overnight stay, but the Inn would be great for long term. If you forgot a necessity, there is a Walmart just a mile away. We travel to northern Michigan frequently, and this is our new stay.

Cute Place

This was a very nice house and perfect for my husband and our two kids. The hosts were kind and very accomodating. There were lots of little details that made the stay comfortable and cozy. We were staying here because we had an event for one of our kids that was out of town. This was the perfect place to stay to be close enough to our event. A huge thanks to our hosts for being so kind.

Lacrosse Tournament

This made the perfect weekend for our family of 3 for a lacrosse tournament being held in Edwardsburg. About a 20 minute drive away, super clean and very relaxing. All of the small touches did not go unnoticed and were very appreciated from the snack basket, to the coffee and extra towels. Thank you for a great experience, we will come back for sure if we are in the area again!
