Overnight stays in our train cars

Whether opting for the intimacy of a small train rental or the rustic charm of a boxcar, guests are treated to a unique lodging experience that combines nostalgia with convenience.

Rassawek Station

The newest area of the property, Rassawek Station is a collection of historic train cars, a general store, ticket station and a lodge cabin. The general store, lodge cabin and three of the train cars were originally housed at Lestor Manor in King William, VA which was owned by Carroll Lee Walker. The general store, lodge cabin and ticket station buildings were replicas of the original Lestor Manor Depot which was built in 1859. The railroad was a connection between the areas of King William, King and Queen and the city of Richmond.

The trains in Rassawek station consist of an engine, flat car that has been converted into a patio seating area, oil tank, box car which has been converted into a one bedroom – one bath rental, Pullman car which has been converted to a one bedroom – two bath rental, caboose which has been converted to a bunkroom – one bath rental, post office building, pump car and water tower.

The general store has been restored to feel like you are walking into a 1940’s country store. Penny candy, canned goods, and glass coca cola line the walls while a newly built wine bar resides in the middle of the store for Rassawek wine tastings.

The lodge cabin will be used as a multipurpose area. Guests staying in the train cars will have access to the kitchen and lounge area. The lodge is also rented for meetings and small gatherings.

This year reminded us just how special this community is, from welcoming the largest crowd we’ve ever had at the Autumn Festival, to spending summer nights together at our very first Sawmill Music Series events!

We celebrated weddings across the property, including at our newest and largest venue, the Pavilion, and watched so many meaningful moments unfold.

You joined us to learn something new, whether that was crafting wreaths at Wine & Wreath or baking fresh bread, and gathered together for wine tastings.

Every event was made better by you! Thank you for continuing to support us and for making each gathering as fun and memorable.

We can’t wait to welcome you back in 2026 and do it all again together.

December 21st marks the official first day of winter, and we’re celebrating with some of our favorite snowy scenes from around the property. ❄️

There’s something about Rassawek in the winter: the quiet, the stillness, the way everything feels a little more peaceful.

Here’s to the first day of winter and all the beauty it brings.

We took a little time to celebrate the holidays with our staff and close friends and it was just what we needed. Feeling extra thankful for our creative team who keeps Rassawek moving forward all year long. Hard work, good people, and a little holiday cheer goes a long way. Cheers to that 🎄🍷

Did you know Rassawek is home to more than 30 restored properties?

Founded in 2000 by a family passionate about preserving the past, Rassawek was created as a retreat unlike any other. Over the years, historic buildings and materials from across the region, many once headed for demolition, have been carefully salvaged, relocated, repurposed, and rebuilt throughout the property.

Today, Rassawek is a place where natural beauty and local history come together, and where the stories of the past are thoughtfully preserved and shared with the community.
