Train vacation rentals in Western Europe

We had a wonderful stay in the Green Lane Carriage as part of my husband's 70th birthday celebrations. It was everything we had expected it to be and more. The period furnishing of the carriage and the added decoration and memorabilia made it stand out as a very special place to stay. The kitchen and bathroom were well set up and we had everything we needed throughout the carriage for a very comfortable stay. Steve sent us very helpful directions which meant it was easy to find, and was very flexible about our arrival time. We were greeted warmly and thoroughly enjoyed hearing some of the history of the carriage, which along with the photo album showing the restoration was fascinating. The setting giving a wonderful view across the fields was peaceful and relaxing to come back to after a day exploring the area. There were many places to visit, the book town of Hay on Wye was a particlar favourite, as were a visit to Monmouth and the Dean Forest Railway. Thank you, we hope to return!

My husband and I just had our 25th Anniversary. We didn't get to celebrate it. So we went on a mini trip. We only live a half hour away. We wanted to do some things that were close and uniquely memorable. We decided to stay at your caboose and tour Pipers Museum. We ate at the Texas restaurant in downtown Lock Haven. It had a 50’s atmosphere. We also went to the Restless Oaks Restaurant, which also had a unique concept. They had chain saw sculptures of Big Foot, bears and much more. We really enjoyed our stay in the caboose and the area. Can’t wait to stay there again!

A lovely little place, situated a stone’s throw away from the market square. It’s as quirky as you might expect of an old converted train, with lots of small nods to its history for you to find inside, and the pretty outside space will help you feel like you’re away from it all.

We really enjoyed our stay in the Mo-Pac caboose on your beautiful and peaceful ranch. It was such a unique experience—quiet, relaxing, and a great way to disconnect. We had a great time and would definitely recommend the stay for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with a unique twist! Thank you for being a great host.

Very pleasant stay, lots of space both inside and outside. We where allowed to us the bikes and get some vegetables from the garden. Our daughter loved sleeping in an actual train.

We spent a surprise birthday weekend in the Railcar for my husband. My husband is a a huge rail fan which made this gift a no brainer. We boated, swam, kayaked, fished, hung out by the firepit and made great memories. We even spotted a Bald Eagle soaring over the water.

My wife, two kids under two, and myself had an absolute blast staying at Jim’s caboose Airbnb. It is located on a beautiful property with some fun animals that my toddler absolutely adored. Jim was a great host and very kind to my family. Thank you for hosting us and for making our time to Decorah, Iowa special.

Graham and Pip’s place is a real gem, the accommodation is gorgeous. In beautiful surroundings, with wonderful wildlife to enjoy, fabulous walks on your doorstep, a place of calm and serenity. So many places to visit are within easy driving reach, whatever your preferred activity there are mountains, canals and rivers to enjoy and there’s no shortage of options for good food. Graham is a lovely host, helpful and welcoming, he makes you feel at home right away. We would love to stay here again.

What a wonderful place to get away and enjoy the beauty of nature. The fields, the flowers, the fireflies, and the cows made the experience! The setting was so beautiful and well thought out, and the caboose was renovated perfectly. Deb was such a wonderful host and the fresh eggs, bread, and smores kit was an extra special surprise. Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience!

Better than expected! So clean and comfortable. Brad thought of everything you might need. We will book again ❤️

The caboose is adorable and Evelyne is a great host. Everything was exactly as described and even cuter in person. This is a great location for anyone visiting TIEC or the local wineries.

Such a unique Airbnb with beautiful surroundings. We had a great time at the tasting room and Brew Haus. All of the staff were wonderful. The food at the Brew Haus was great. Would recommend!

We had a beautiful long weekend at Wagonlea, from the moment we walked in there was a relaxed ambiance with the sheep and goats in the field. Despite being on a farm it feels very private and the host Ruth does not intrude at all. The place was spotlessly clean with a hot shower and all bathroom and kitchen essentials. Saturday we drove into Belper which is a lovely quaint village. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and felt very relaxed after being there, highly recommend

This was a very unique stay! Even though it is tight quarters there was actually ample room for 6 of us and storage. The beds were comfy and lots of fun details. Kitchen was functional for small meal prep. The oven wasn’t working while we were there, but we made due and were still able to prep meals. Having three full baths in such a small space was a luxury! The outside seating was great, and plenty of room to relax after sight seeing!

Third time’s the charm! We never regret staying at Alex’s place and look forward to our next booking at the train cars. The place is amazing, the views are incredible, and Alex is a great host. If you’re thinking about booking with Alex, do it! You will not be disappointed.

Lovely stay. Just as described. Cosy bed and powerful shower! The garden is beautiful and Denise was happy for our dog Kaiser to run around. We enjoyed the Prosecco and breakfast in the sunshine

We had the best time at Bothole. Everything was as shown in the photos, and James was a fantastic host. I can’t wait to recommend the spot for a seaside getaway.

The caboose is super cute and whimsical. It is a rustic “cabin” but had everything necessary. The couch is uncomfortable so don’t plan a long lazy vacation watching movies. But it is a great jumping off place for the activities in the area. The caboose cupola made for a perfect morning coffee spot and afternoon reading nook!

What a lovely quirky place to stay, beautiful views from the tram and grounds, beautiful sunrise from the bedroom window. Lovely little getaway

I was there with my three children and our dog and we enjoyed it very much, we had a nice time. The surroundings are beautiful and Damian is a very friendly host.

Exceeded expectations! Our family had a great time in May and will definitely go back for a fall trip too. All of the features and details inside the train were so neat. The den / kitchen area was more spacious than I expected. I was afraid it may feel a little claustrophobic but it didn't at all. The specific local recommendations provided were great. We have small children and weren't able to utilize the river much as there isn't flat / cleared ground beside it and the water was moving pretty rapidly during our stay, but we still had lots to do without the river. Definitely worth visiting!!

This place exceeded all my expectations. It was spotless, conveniently located, and I loved the sound of trains passing by. The check-in process was effortless, and the check-out instructions were clear. Finding an Airbnb this great is rare, and I’ll definitely be requesting to stay here again.

Absolutely wonderful experience! The caboose-apartment was an amazing place on its own, and the host stocked it to the brim with coffee and snacks. Add to that the fact that it’s on a farm with horses and donkeys and you’ve really got a memorable place to stay. Hope I’ll be able to return!

Our experience on Karla's train adventure was truly incredible. I booked this trip for my teenage grandson who has a deep love for trains, and it exceeded all of our expectations. The attention to detail and care put into this experience was evident, and we are so grateful for Karla's dedication. Her story is truly inspiring, and we feel privileged to have been a part of it. Thank you, Karla, for sharing your dream with us and creating lasting memories for our family. We highly recommend this unique and unforgettable experience to others. We look forward to returning in the future.
