8 / 10Excellent·Jun 2026
A unique and charming experience! The train car was clean, comfortable, and perfectly suited our needs for a one-night stay. One of the best parts of the property is that there’s plenty to do without ever having to leave—ice cream, mini golf, and several dining options are all conveniently located on-site.There were a few minor areas where the experience could be improved. Better signage directing guests to the train cars would be helpful, as we didn’t realize they were located beyond the mini golf area and initially had some trouble finding them. Our room also lacked towel hooks, which would have been a convenient addition.The bathroom door didn’t fully latch; it would close, but if bumped even slightly, it would swing back open. Finally, while not a necessity, adding a TV would be a nice enhancement. We would have enjoyed relaxing with a late-night show before bed.Overall, this was a fun and memorable stay, and I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a unique lodging experience.

What an excellent stay we had at the red ny central car this past weekend for our trip to Benezette to see the elk! We were looking for something unique, close to businesses but also decently close to Elk Country Visitor Center..this was about 35 mins away. This traincar fit all the boxes and left us with such a memorable weekend. We were a little lost at first finding our car but then had no issues. The car was quiet, clean, comfortable and welcoming. We loved the snacks, waters and other little touches throughout. We would definitely recommend to those looking for a unique stay. There is ample parking as well as a restaurant and coffee shop on property. Apparently there is a pizza place as well but it didn't seem to be open during our stay.

Very quaint area, each caboose decorated in a train theme.
6 / 10Average·Jun 2026
The rail car was exactly as pictured and described; however, the surrounding property was most definitely misrepresented. All the surrounding business were not only closed but had been out of business for some time. It gave the place a creepy, deserted ghost town feeling. This is a shame as at one time I can only image how wonderful this area was for families to visit. You can tell someone had a dream and a vision but for whatever reason most of the businesses closed. The Angry Goat restaurant was open and we dined there. However, as other reviews indicated there was only one server to wait on all the customers. She was trying her best but she had very little support. Management is lacking or lacked proper restaurant managerial experience. The putt putt was open as was the ice cream shop all other businesses are closed and no one was around. Very sad.
