Authentic Experiencd w/ Modern Conveniences

We stayed in the Presidential Train Car, and what a fun experience! Clean and well-maintained while keeping to the original look and feel of the train car. We appreciated the modern bathroom addition and entryway with a fridge & coffeemaker. Peaking out the windows and seeing dinos poking through the snow was a favorite for my kiddo. My husband enjoyed exploring the train and all its buttons! We look forward to returning when the weather is warm to enjoy the rest of the experiences!

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication
The host never replied to us. When we arrived the property was never cleaned. All of the beds had been slept in and the linens were dirty. The towels had not been washed. We found coffee mugs with half drank beverages sitting out. The snacks were pilfered through. The trash had not been taken out. We contacted the host via phone and email. Never heard back. We called VRBO support and they made us wait an hour for the host to respond. Then we called the property management group and they made us wait an hour. The host still never responded. By 10 pm we had enough and left and had to pay for a hotel.

Such a unique stay! I loved seeing the history of the Presidential Car, and my 6 year thought sleeping in a real train was the coolest thing. We definitely have plans to come back when the weather is nicer so we can really explore all there is to offer here.
