Space
Sunswick Railcar is proud to be one of 100 winners of Airbnb’s OMG! Fund, awarded to ideas for unique design and immersive experience, and marking this restored 1940s train a truly one-of-a-kind stay.
As you enter, you'll be greeted by the original porter's seat, a perfect place to make-believe for an afternoon. Just beyond lies the elegant, wood-paneled lounge, the heart of which is a stately bar from the train's former days. You'll also find a roll-down screen for the projector, so you can connect your favorite streaming services when you want to, and suspend disbelief when you don't. Relax here, or immerse yourself in the period design and space of the office, surrounded by windows on all sides. The railcar also offers two charming suites, the Empire Suite and Adirondack Suite, each complete with plush robes and slippers. Off the back, a brand-new bathhouse offers a modern spa experience, with a luxurious soaking tub, large skylights and a dramatic picture window framing your private woods. Relax in modern comfort, while still feeling connected to nature. The train itself includes a half-bath, cozy shower room and a petite kitchen, preserving the authentic charm of a 1940s railcar adventure.
