The Great Lake State has a rich railroad history with trains running before Michigan was even a state. By walking the Kal-Haven Rail Trail State Park in Kalamazoo, you can still see relics of Michigan’s railroad history today. Then drive south to spend the night at this incredible train depot Airbnb in Colon, Michigan.

The Depot Airbnb is located in southwest Michigan, less than an hour outside Kalamazoo. Completed in 1871, the Depot was moved in 1993 to its current location and has been lovingly restored.
