Crooked Lake Express | Original train car of Grand Trunk Western 2579

The Grand Trunk Western 2579 is now resting in the heart of Northern Michigan as Crooked Lake Express 2579. Maintaining the industrial feel of an authentic train while bringing modern charm, the Crooked Lake Express creates a unique experience! Queen bed, twin bunk-beds, 1.5 bath + kitchen. Located along the North Western State Trail and across from the Little Traverse Township Boat Launch on Crooked Lake.

North Western Trail State: Enjoy this 32.2-mile point-to-point trail near Conway, Michigan. Generally considered an easy route. This is a popular trail for hiking, road biking, and running, but you can still enjoy some solitude during quieter times of day.

Little Traverse Township Boat Launch: Located directly across the street. Enjoy water activities nearby.

Little Traverse Township Beach: Located 1/2 mile south, along US31

You will have full access to the red caboose.

There is AC and Wifi

Bedroom 1 | Queen Bed
Bedroom 2 | Twin Bunk Beds, 4 single beds. Top beds can be pushed up for additional head space or easily pulled down.

Things to note before booking:
-Some areas are very tight, like the half bath and the space around the bed of the bedroom. Please keep this in mind when booking.

Quaint cosy unique experience
The rental was just as described and was an amazing experience. The theming matches the train car perfectly. As described there are a couple tight spaces (namely the half bath) but you’re in a real train car. We loved our time and thought it was an amazing experience.
