The allure of staying overnight in these meticulously restored railcars transcends conventional accommodations, offering a glimpse into the golden age of rail travel. Among the offerings, the Pullman car stands out for its luxurious appeal, featuring spacious interiors and a large bedroom adorned with period furnishings that evoke a sense of grandeur and elegance. For guests seeking culinary independence, train car rentals equipped with kitchens provide a delightful opportunity to prepare meals while enjoying panoramic views of the vineyard and surrounding countryside. Each train car is thoughtfully designed to ensure a comfortable stay, with modern amenities including full baths featuring stylish fixtures and large showers, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring the vineyard or nearby attractions.
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. The train car rentals at Rassawek Vineyard offer more than just a place to stay; they create lasting memories through their distinctive ambiance and historical significance. Nestled amidst Virginia’s rolling hills and lush vineyards, Rassawek provides an ideal retreat for travelers seeking tranquility and a connection to the region’s rich heritage. Whether enjoying a glass of wine on the porch of a converted train car or stargazing under the clear night sky, guests are invited to unwind and immerse themselves in the timeless allure of Rassawek Vineyards train car rentals.
Our Pullman Car is one of three converted train cars available for overnight stays. The car was built by Pullman Co. in 1888 and later purchased by R.F. & P. Railroad in 1911. This car is believed to be the first of R. F. & P.’s business cars.
