Lovely Stay Near EBT Railroad

We enjoyed our stay at this lovely home during our visit to the EBT railroad. The host provided refreshments and breakfast items that made for easy mornings. Being able to see the train go by the house was a cool perk. The house is spotless and very well maintained. All in all a very nice stay and highly recommended!

Beautiful property!

We came to the area for the EBT train ride with Santa, but our time at the house ended up being a favorite part of the weekend! The house has scenic views, a unique layout, comfortable beds, and plenty of space. The owner was responsive and went above and beyond to ensure that we had a great stay, even stocking the kitchen with breakfast items including fresh fruit, coffee, milk, and juice. Our family had a great time and was so impressed by this property!
