About the host
Hosted by Julie Bennett

Marc is a Colorado native, and Julie is originally from Australia. We traveled North America full time by RV for 6+ years, and visited all 50 USA States before 50, before discovering Paonia. We love sharing all the gems with visitors, and being able to give them a real taste of Paonia with a touch of luxury, through hosting them at our Railroad Retreat.
Why they chose this property
We instantly fell in love with the scenic mountains of Paonia, the small town charm, the friendly laid-back vibes, our door recreation, and the quality of food and wine, thanks to the town’s agritourism focus. It’s the kind of place where you can just unplug, relax, and enjoy life moment by moment.
What makes this property unique
The convenient location, views, upscale touches, and the story of the jumbo tiny home itself. It was intentionally designed (repurposing many high quality materials) to both maximize the space and location and celebrate the history of Paonia (then and now) via thoughtful touches and decor.
And of course, the front row view of the historic Union Pacific coal train is a unique feature - and a highlight you won't forget!
