We drove out of our way to enjoy the unique experience of staying a night in a caboose or train car. This neat little B&B has a dozen or so train cars converted into rooms or dining car and even one just to hang out. The train station also has a few rooms along with the gift shop and the... More

We saw this on line and thought it would be a unique experience and we weren't disappointed. A slight difficulty in our original request for Caboose No. 5 was quickly dealt with by Jimmy and he upgraded us at no additional cost to Caboose No. 9. Very comfortable and quiet. We stayed here two nights and had breakfasts in the... More

We really enjoyed our experience here, we stayed in a caboose... it was awesome, had a fireplace and the bed was super comfy. We went to the museum and ate dinner at the dinner car - the food was okay, my husband didnt like his steak as much as he'd hoped a bit tough but my seafood was good ,the... More

Like other users, I read these reviews before booking hotels, flights and attractions. Like many other hotels, there are a few negative things said and this can make you anxious before you travel. The Train Station Inn should cause you no sleepless nights based on the reviews I have read. You are staying in a converted caboose, train station or... More

Our trip to Nova Scotia this year started with the decision to take in the scenic route around the Province starting at Amerst and ending up in Digby for the 2011 Wharf Rat Rally. Our first stop brought us to Tatamagouche and the Train Station Inn ; what a treasure. Meeting James for the first time was unforgetable. He is... More

The Train Station Inn is clearly a life's work that includes a train station, cabooses to stay in, a dining car, a lounge car, and lots of other train cars and history in various states of refurbishment. The owners have created a gem of an inn that has tons of personality and history. This place is not just for train... More

The Train Station Inn is a fascinating place to stay. The caboose that we stayed in was extremely comfortable and so interesting. A few things were a bit funky ( the bathroom light switch and no remote for the TV), but they weren't really a problem. We had a wonderful meal in teh Dining Car and breakfast in the old... More

We rearranged our trip when we heard about this place. It was really fun and my train-loving husband was delighted. Furnishings simple but adequate. Heard the onsite dinner restaurant is fantastic for a long sit down leisurely romantic meal, but make reservations well in advance. The cupola in the caboose was a real treat, especially in the rain.

The train station inn is a destination in itself. we really enjoyed our stay in one of the cabooses, n4, an older caboose with a comfortable bed and adequate shower. dinner is served in an old dining car. unfortunately, there are not too many other things to do in the region, however, a visit to jost vineyards is a must.

I booked this hotel online as I thought my son would enjoy a night here on our trip. Turned out that we all loved it! It is even better in person than I thought it would be. I love unique hotels and this one definitely fits in that category. We had #4 which has bunk beds, with a sliding door... More
