If you're a train enthusiast, you have plenty of ways to have fun in Minnesota. From restaurants to museums to train rides, there are a lot of train-themed activities in our great state. In fact, you can even sleep in a train in Minnesota. There's a railroad-themed bed & breakfast in the Land of 10,000 Lakes where the rooms are actual box cars. Read on to learn about what awaits if you stay the night at Whistle Stop Bed & Breakfast.
Whistle Stop Bed & Breakfast is a lovely spot in the tiny town of New York Mills, Minnesota. The address is 107 E Nowell St., New York Mills, MN 56567, about 170 miles northwest of Minneapolis.
The bed & breakfast is centered on a beautiful century-old house that was built in 1903.
The house is filled with historic charm, from the architectural details to the furnishings. There are three quaint and comfy guest rooms in the main house.
Beyond the house, the adorable red Cozy Caboose is available for overnight stays. Built around 1893, it's a step back in history as much as it is a wonderful place to lay your head.
The Palace Car is another option. It was once a dining car - built around 1909 - that was used by the Northern Pacific Railroad until the 1960s.
Other options include the Viking Car and the Imperial Car. Each is perfectly cozy and filled with fascinating history.
Inside each car, you'll have everything you need to make your stay comfortable. Ample seating, a dining area, and a bathroom offer plenty of space to spread out.
The beds are comfortable and outfitted with soft and cozy linens.
Beyond the house and train cars, there's also the Alaskan Cottage. This beautiful spot is the perfect woodsy getaway for anyone who loves going up north!
The rooms are great, but don't forget breakfast! A wonderfully tasty meal awaits in the morning after your sleep inside a real box car.
This charming railroad-themed bed and breakfast is perfect for a special getaway. Whether you're a train enthusiast or you just love unique hotels, be sure to book a stay today. For more information about Whistle Stop Bed & Breakfast, check out their website.
