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.
