Loved this lodging for our large family and would 100% stay here again if in Mancelona. I’m very particular about cleaning and was very pleased with this property. It is equipped with all you need and more including outdoor fireplace, grill, mobile device charging station, and games. Hosts were helpful when we had questions.

We had a great time at the train depot. The home was exactly as described. So many little features that gave the depot that at home feel. Home was well appointed with lots of cool extra features. We enjoyed the small town of Mancelona and it had that close to nowhere but convenient to everywhere location we were wanting! We will definitely stay here again the next time we visit Northern Michigan.

Incredibly cool all-inclusive rental experience

The owners of this property did an amazing job preserving this historic landmark and repurposing it into a beautiful rental home. Being inside a historic train depot was an unforgettable rental experience, with the decor adding the perfect final touch.The hosts were wonderful with communicating, I stayed here with 9 other guests and it felt big enough to accommodate us all. Plenty of bedding, kitchen utensils, towels, etc. We had a peaceful, relaxing stay and I look forward to renting this landmark in the future.

Alec, you have been a pleasure to have! He was responsive, communicative and very kind! He and his 9 guests treated our space as if it were their own home, keeping it clean and tidy. We would love to have Alec his buddies back again!
