Go back in time and experience the nostalgia of the late 1800's at the original train station of Allisonia, VA. This unique depot has been lovingly brought back to life. It sits immediately adjacent to the New River Trail and is a stones throw from the New River.
I give my guests space but am available when needed.

Loved this place, will stay here again
Footsteps from the NRT, steeped in whimsy and history. I loved staying here. My only wish was for a can opener...and to honest, there was probably one there somewhere, but I did not find it. Otherwise a PERFECT stay.
