Tiny House Train-eco Stay

Please see Airbnb for plenty of 5 star reviews. Thank you for renting the train as this really helps me. The train runs on solar power, all your water is spring water and is a great example of up cycling and recycling. The tiny house train is located on a 10 acre/4.2 hectare organic blueberry farm and was restored in 2018 and turned into a tiny house in May 2019. There is a cozy log burner plus heat pumps and the TV is a smart TV and has Netflix supplied . Wifi is Starlink with laptop friendly kitchen table. Self checkin after 2pm. No light pollution and beautiful star filled skies for miles.
Please note that the sofa bed is optional and it will need to be added as an extra charge of twenty five dollars per night. Please let me know if you would like to book the sofa bed via the messaging system of this platform.

Eco-train

Lovely stay as we enjoy the peace and quiet. Carollan was very friendly and helpful especially dealing with the compost toilet issue. Downside, I am small and the toilet was too high for me. The log fire was a bonus as it does get cold at night. The bed was very comfy. 9/10.

We enjoyed staying at the train, comfy bed, lovely hot shower, clean. It would of been nice to meet the host at some stage of arival after all we had to be approved by photo. This teaches our children manners and how we should face people face to face

Nothing else compares.

Peaceful and quiet.. which we so much appreciated. Had an interest in the history of how the train conversion began, to its present day. Just wow! A lot of work has been done. Our pets loved it here with Fred & Wilma the 2 pet hosts. Our host was very respectful & friendly.

Echt authentisch in dem Wagon zu Übernachten, manchmal ist es etwas eng was aber natürlich dem geschuldet ist das es sich um einen echten Eisenbahn Wagon handelt. Sonst ist an sich alles da was man braucht um ein paar Tage dort zu verbringen :)

Adorable train

It was cool to stay in a train and somewhere new. It was fun seeing how it was converted and my train loving partner loved it. Super cosy and relaxing with delicious eggs. Thanks for being a great host!

Weekend Getaway

Thoroughly enjoyed a little weekend getaway. The train was quite cold during the winter months. However, it didn't take long to warm up with the little pot belly fireplace. The organic range of food that was left for us to indulge in was such a lovely little touch as well. We would definitely consider returning in the warmer months.
