Modern Cottage Cabin, private area with pond, fishing nearby, swimming and more

Welcome to the Railway Lodge, The Cottage is the most recent cabin we’ve added to our large spacious area, we now have 2 cabins close but still very private away. So if your looking to add more guests we also have The Cabin which sleeps 4. The area is secluded yet close to fun attractions. The property is right next to bloody run trout stream so bring your fishing pole and experience the great fishing in the beautiful area. Newly built recently is our pond. We do provide 2 kayaks and a paddle boat on site. The pond is private but is shared with the other cabin guests. The large yard area gives you plenty of room to explore. We do have charcoal grill on site but you need to provide charcoal. We are right next to Spook Cave so definitely a must to take a cave tour! Don’t be alarmed with the trains that come by it actually is pretty cool at night with the lights “ Railway Lodge”

I liked the quiet rural aspect of this cabin. It was very clean and organized. The cabin could use some blackout curtains for the room and loft. Also a curtain for the front door window to add a little more privacy since it is a small interior. Other than those few things it was a great place to stay. I would definitely recommend checking out the spook cave tours across the road at Spook Cave campground.
