Renovated Train Car Tiny Home Near Smoky Mountains
Hop inside this time capsule dating back to WWII. Platform1346 is a renovated troop train kitchen car that sits on the family's flower farm and is adjacent to the Smoky Mountains. It has been showcased on television on The Design Network's "Tiny Bnb" and websites like the Travel Channel and NBC's Today Show, countless TikTok's, YouTube and IG videos and also news outlets all over the world! This 1943 train car offers a maximized and well designed layout for your relaxing getaway!
This train is a Tiny Home that has been consciously planned out ensuring all the space is utilized to its fullest potential. In addition, the design concept was kept thoughtful in highlighting the era in which it originated.
Come relax in the queen sized bed with luxurious bedding. Read our reviews on how comfortable the sleeping quarters rates. We also offer a queen pull out sofa bed. for additional guests
The kitchen is completely outfitted with all the cookware you could need, Smeg appliances for those discerning chefs and butcher block counters.
Continue your relaxation in a claw foot tub and then after your rejuvenating soak, settle in to the sofa for your favorite Netflix or Amazon show.
Off the front of the train you have two private decks that look up to the Smoky Mountains, across the flower fields and onto the private airstrip that is adjacent to our property. Very often you will actually see our neighboring pilots practicing with their aircraft.
Feel free to explore our 6 acres of property including a pond, fire pit, outdoor pavilion and our professional flower fields where you may see the team cutting fresh flowers daily! Interested in learning more about our flower farm? Just ask! We LOVE to give tours!
Accessibility: There is one flight of outside stairs leading up to the train car entrance and one stair inside leading up to the bathroom.
There is an outdoor pavilion with a BBQ, picnic tables and comfortable places to sit. We also have a tranquil fish pond and bonfire pit located in the center of the property for all of our guests to enjoy. Make s'mores or just relax and listen to the gurgling water and enjoy the fish.
During the spring and summer months, enjoy our flower farm, Rainbow Roots, which is always abundant with seasonal flowers including dahlias, sunflowers, peonies, zinnias, ranunculus, tulips and other varieties of color. Most days you will see Adrienne (+team) working in the flowers! Don't hesitate to ask her about the flower farm, she LOVES to share her love of flowers with all her guests!
We offer flowers for sale seasonally at our farm stand if you would like to take some flowers home with you! We can't wait to show you our little slice of heaven!
The property is completely hidden from all streets and the surrounding neighbors by our bamboo forests. It is a wonderful venue for those who desire privacy. Other things to note: Vehicle access is clearly marked and very easy to navigate straight to the train. Just follow the gravel road at the end of the culdusac all the way to the end where you'll see a large round wood sign with the Platform 1346 name on it. Turn left at the the sign and there will be a railroad tie paved parking area in front of the train. Feel free to pull right onto the parking area.

If you are even remotely thinking of staying at this property, DO IT! We were intrigued by the idea of staying in an old railway car, but the experience far exceeded our expectations. The grounds around the rail-car were spectacular. Gardens, flowers, fish-pond, and an exceptional fire-pit. We were in town for a show at a local music/food venue called The Shed, but were also able to fit in a few hikes at nearby Cades Cove. An all round spectacular weekend. The hosts were communcative when needed, but other-wise let us enjoy our stay in complete privacy. A 5 Star experience in every way.

The caboose was very clean and well equipped for our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed the quiet serenity of the farm. The uniqueness of your caboose was very helpful as begin thinking how we can renovate ours.

It was perfect for what we had planned for the trip. The bonus was the 4 legged greeters.
