The property was very clean and well maintained. It was a quiet location yet still close enough to everything in Joplin. Very well equipped with everything needed and everything was conveniently labeled. Plenty of room for 4 adults and having 2 bathrooms was very nice. Definitely recommend for a great experience!

Our stay was fun filled and comfortable. We come out every year for the funny car chaos at Mo kan and we had previously stayed in the caboose and loved it so we decided to try the passenger car this time and it was super cozy and absolutely one of our favorite places we’ve stayed.

Absolutely adorable place! Far enough from the hustle and bustle to be quiet and peaceful but also close enough to amenities to not have to drive a long way. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Hope to revisit soon

Comfortable and Fun Stay

We stayed here while visiting family in Carthage. The beds were incredibly comfortable and loved that everyone had their own bed, everything was clearly labeled, and it was lovely to have extra space with 3 wild boys. The kids thought it was so cool to sleep in a train and played "help! I'm falling off the backnof the train!!" daily. Our oldest (6) was super excited about the board games and playing battle ship was a highlight of the trip for him. They have all asked when we can go back to the trajn! Definitely recommend a stay here, especially given that the price was somparable or cheaper than any of the hotels in Carthage which are all older and a bit ragged.

Loved this place. Would recommend. The beds were very comfortable. Very clean. Easy access with codes. We stayed in hot summer and the A/C worked great. There were 5 of us staying. Never had trouble keeping hot water for showers. Loved that there was a bath and half. Very quiet location.

It was perfect!

The place is super unique and super cute. Our children loved the bunk beds and train house idea. I loved how comfortable the beds were and how quiet the neighborhood was. The owner and the property manager were very nice and helpful. It was more than we expected.

Great place!

The train car was so unique! My grandchildren loved it! The kitchen was stocked with anything needed although we didn’t cook there. The mattresses were comfortable. The bathrooms we very nicely designed. We look forward to renting it again along with the smaller unit.
