About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can expect to find a Smart TV with Netflix. Other standard amenities include a fireplace, a coffee maker, and a dining table. Housekeeping is available on request.

My dog and I had a lovely stay. The owners two dogs came to visit which was lovely. Great place for them to have a wander about. Weather wasn’t kind to us but staying in the railway carriage fabulous. Warm and had everything we needed plus Netflix so treated it as a retreat and rest day. Fabulous place!! Thank you !!!

We loved this visit. Enjoyed the eco-friendly aspects, plus homemade jams, honey, and eggs from the property. Able to see a lot of stars at night (since I'm from the other side of the world I can't tell you which stars).A little more advice on starting/using the stove/oven would be appreciated since we were unfamiliar, but we made it work eventually!Lovely property as well, and enjoyed reading about the history of the tiny house train.

All aboard

Gorgeous little carriage in a beautiful setting. All fixtures and fittings very high quality, so closer to a luxury stay than the size would suggest. Fred and Wilma made sure we were well settled in and provided great company for our pooch. Home made jams and honey just added to the treat.Carolann is a great host, there when needed.. Thank you, would love to return for another stay.

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.

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.

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 :)
