Adorable house work plenty of room for us and our 2 dogs. Host thought of everything, and left us a couple extras like a basket of goodies for us and the dogs, loofahs in the bathroom, coffee, and the kitchen was well equipped. It snowed during our stay and the host made sure we had a snow shovel for the walkway and de-ice salt as well. Overall great place, we would stay here again.

Way better than we had planned for. We were the Food Duty Parents for and FRC team of 40. The fridge and freezer was large enough to hold our stuff. There was enough space for all my crock pots and roasters. It was quiet! Which is appreciated when dealing with 30 teenagers. The rooms were seperated so we had space that felt less shared with other parents. If that makes sense.

Don’t Choo Choo past the Choo Choo Inn.

What a great place to stay. We had to attend a funeral in the area which is always such an emotional and stressful time. Staying at the Inn was the best choice we made. It was stress free from check in to check out. The Inn was clean and the host provided extra touches. Definitely would stay here again.

Wonderful Weekend at the Choo Choo Inn

We had such a wonderful stay at the Choo Choo Inn! The house was charming, very clean and smelled so fresh! The host provided everything we needed and more! We so very much appreciated the little touches of thoughtfulness like the waters, snack box, Kleenex in every room, supplies, brochures, etc . It certainly made such an impact to our experience :)

Quaint Country Get-Away

We stayed at Choo Choo Inn for 6 nights and I slept better than I do at home! The place is very clean, nicely decorated, and quiet. The shower is awesome with good water pressure and hot, hot water. The back deck is perfect for relaxing and watching little critters like the neighbors chickens and ducks. We had a great time here and Warren is very helpful if you need anything at all.

Cute and quiet

This was probably one of the nicest rentals between “the other” site and this one we rented. Affordable, quiet, comfortable. Very nice space. We have family nearby and it’s always hard to find an affordable place to stay as hotels are more expensive and not as comfortable. This was perfect and will try to rent again on our next trip, if it’s available! Thank you for offering it all.

This was a very nice house and perfect for my husband and our two kids. The hosts were kind and very accomodating. There were lots of little details that made the stay comfortable and cozy. We were staying here because we had an event for one of our kids that was out of town. This was the perfect place to stay to be close enough to our event.

This made the perfect weekend for our family of 3 for a lacrosse tournament being held in Edwardsburg. About a 20 minute drive away, super clean and very relaxing. All of the small touches did not go unnoticed and were very appreciated from the snack basket, to the coffee and extra towels.

PERFECT

The Choo Choo Inn has beautiful new finishes, and everything is top notch. We cooked a delicious dinner and ate on the back deck and enjoyed the bar height table and the comfy couches too. Warren was quick to respond to my email questions. The train decor is fun. The nearby trains are not loud, just a soothing clickity clack if you listen hard. This was only a overnight stay, but the Inn would be great for long term. If you forgot a necessity, there is a Walmart just a mile away. We travel to northern Michigan frequently, and this is our new stay.
