With romantic features like a beautiful vintage soaking tub and 100% linen bedsheets we fit any vacation requirement. Walkable to all needs.

In 1902 the Michigan Central Railroad opened Dowagiac's Historical Train Depot, built in a Tudor Revival Style. This would connect Dowagiac with the rest of the world and bring in the heart beat of this small spirited town.

Our Vintage Travel/Train themed Depot Cottage, just steps away from it, honors the glamour, flair, and history of this iconic landmark and the trains it has run. Convenience and luxury abound with vintage charm sure to capture your imagination.

Walking distance to everything you need including the charming downtown of Dowagiac with dining, entertainment, coffee shops, 24 hour gym, and shopping.

Leave your car at home and come by train! Or use the cottage as a home base for a quick convenient train trip into Chicago with direct fast service. Skip the traffic! Explore the historic train depot with its pot bellied stove museum, the industry of the 1900's that built Dowagiac, spend some time on the nature trails of Southwest Michigan College, explore the wine trail, or soak up the multiple Michigan beaches and all that pure Michigan has to offer.

Or just stay home and use our highspeed internet, smart tv, train playroom. Or dive into our luxury beds and linens and vintage restored copper soaking tub. Enjoy our exclusive locally roasted Depot Cottage coffee on the porch or in the hammock, enjoy our model train that runs through the house or the working train table, engage your imagination with the glamour and charm of a bygone area with modern convenience.

The house is all yours with a fully enclosed backyard and large front porch and a basement laundry. The garage is off limits to guests.
