Sleep in a Boxcar
You can reserve a half-boxcar room or a full one. We went with the full boxcar suite and it did not disappoint! The rooms each have themes, and ours was Victorian. The lady at the front desk was super nice. They also have hundreds of DVDs you can sort through and bring back to your room.
