Have you ever wanted to spend the night in a railroad car without taking an entire train trip? Perhaps you're looking for a unique train Airbnb in Michigan? Maybe you want to stay somewhat close to home, spending a few nights escaping from the pressures of daily life. Or maybe you just want to get away from a quick, unique romantic getaway in the Mitten State.
Regardless of the goals of your trip, I've found the perfect rental for all you train-lovers out there. This magnificent Michigan rental is located in the city of Paw Paw, which is also home to a fantastic flea market. One night at this incredible train AirBnB in Michigan gives you memories that will last a lifetime.
Now, this Michigan Airbnb doesn't look like much on the outside, which should be expected, because rail cars aren't designed for looks but for purpose. Especially those built in 1912, like this one is!
Don't let the unassuming exterior fool you, though. Located on the grounds of Paw Paw's Warner Vineyards, guests at this unique Michigan vacation rental have access to the vineyard and brewhouse during business hours.
Have you ever slept in an antique rail car before? I have not, but I can only imagine what an amazing experience it could be!
Walking through the door pictured above, you'd probably imagine rows of passenger seats or sleeping berths at the very least. You'll be pleasantly surprised at what greets you as you enter this 1912 railcar that's been converted into a Michigan Airbnb.
As one might expect from a converted railcar, all amenities at this unusual Airbnb in Michigan are in one room. Of course, there is a door to the bathroom, which features a gorgeous shower.
Additionally, there is a sliding door that separates the sleeping from the living area. In the living area, you'll find a kitchen stocked with everything you'll need to cook and eat a meal, including wine glasses.
Additionally in the living space at this 1912-railcar-coverted to-vacation-rental in Michigan, guests will find a washer & dryer, Wifi, AC & heat, a 55-inch TV, and a stellar sound system.
Did we mention that this Airbnb has views of the water, too? Yup, it does! This former train car lives right on the river, promising tons of relaxing views.
Even though it doesn't look like it, this small Michigan Airbnb sleeps up to four guests. The two sofas in the living area convert to beds, sleeping one guest each.
Step through the sliding door into the bedroom of this unique Mitten State vacation rental, and guests will find a queen bed. This setup would be ideal for families of four looking for an unusual Michigan getaway.
While the exterior of this converted rail car is a bit dated, the interior has been updated with all modern amenities. Does the bathroom pictured below look like what you'd expect from a train bathroom?
The bathroom is stylish, with a shower and cleaning products for both the room and yourself as a human being... you know, body wash, shampoo, and the like.
The winery that houses this 1912 railcar has outdoor concerts when the weather is agreeable. Another bonus of staying at this creatively designed Michigan vacation rental.
Also, the town of Paw Paw, Michigan is a fabulous place to explore. Nearby, there are numerous wineries to visit, as well as numerous golf clubs... and even an alpaca farm!
If you're looking for a unique place to make a quick getaway, this converted train Airbnb in Michiiggan is the perfect choice. Plus, if you don't feel like cooking one night, there's an incredible Italian restaurant just down the road that's been in the same family for 87 years!
One more thing - if you're anything like me, you love to get a little background on the places you visit. This book about North American trains should be perfect to get your research started for this trip!
