Crooked Lake Express 2579 – A One-of-a-Kind Train Car Stay
Step aboard history with a stay in Crooked Lake Express 2579, a lovingly restored 1910 Grand Trunk Railroad passenger car now nestled in the heart of Northern Michigan. This authentic train car has been thoughtfully transformed into a charming and memorable lodging experience -  perfect for travelers looking for something truly unique.

Inside, you'll find a blend of vintage character and modern comfort. The space features:

- 2 classic Pullman-style bedrooms (one with a queen bed, the other with twin bunk beds)
- 1.5 bathrooms
- A compact but well-equipped kitchen for light meals
- Cozy, train-inspired décor with original touches from its Grand Trunk Western days

Located directly along the North Western State Trail and just across from the Little Traverse Township Boat Launch on scenic Crooked Lake, this is an ideal base for outdoor enthusiasts, history buffs, or anyone looking to try something out of the ordinary.

Please note: Due to the nature of the original train car design, some spaces—including the half bath and areas around the beds—are tight. This is part of the authentic experience, but we encourage guests to keep this in mind when booking.

Whether you're biking the trail, paddling on the lake, or simply relaxing in a truly rare piece of rail history, Crooked Lake Express 2579 offers a stay unlike any other.

*Access to water toys and boats are not included in the rental of this property. If you would like information on watercraft rentals, please reach out to us for recommendations!
