We were here for our daughter’s wedding and fell in love with the town. What a beautiful home, we were beyond impressed with the accommodations. Julie & Marc gave us the 411 on everything happening in town, along with great recommendations for restaurants and trails to take our dogs for a hike. We will be visiting again!

This was the best VRBO by far that we have ever stayed in! When we walked into the living room/kitchen - it was so cozy!! The kitchen had all the tools needed to prepare a feast. We enjoyed our time sitting in front of the fireplace watching movies in the evening. The bathroom was spotless and the bed was comfy. This is definitely a place we would like to stay in again!! :)

Sweet Overnight Stay

The Railroad Retreat was perfect for us. Comfy beds and every amenity you could want in a B&B. The clean, modern design and interior spaces are stunning. The best of the package are the hosts! Julie and Marc are warm, welcoming and so easy to communicate with. We got the local lowdown on what to do and where to eat in beautiful Paonia. We'll be back for sure.

Lovely space, cute and cozy!

Julie did an extraordinary job of anticipating all the needs of visiting guests. From the extras in the kitchen equipment to the books and games to the smart tv were all available as wanted, or needed.The a/c worked great and the outside temps were over 90 degrees.I've stayed in many places and this one definitely deserves 5 stars.

Wonderful place! Easy walk to downtown. Driveway fits two cars. Place was very clean and the attention to detail by the owners is impeccable. There was a large water filter in the fridge, ice was made when we arrived, personalized note welcoming us, a great selection of tea and coffee, a reusable bag to borrow for shopping and common condiments in the fridge. We had great communication with the owners throughout. The train did come by both nights we stayed but ear plugs were provided. Would definitely stay here again.
