About this property

Custom Train-Themed Lodge on 7 Private Acres with Walking Trails

Welcome to The Train Station Lodge, a one-of-a-kind guest house set on a beautiful 7-acre wooded property in Martinsburg, West Virginia. Surrounded by trees and full of custom character, this stay offers a peaceful, tucked-away feel with thoughtful details that make it truly memorable.

Guests can enjoy access to walking trails that wind through the fully wooded property, creating the perfect setting for a morning stroll or a quiet evening outdoors. After a day of exploring, come back and relax in the oversized antique cast iron soaking tub while enjoying the cozy fireplace in the bathroom.

Upstairs, both bedrooms offer comfortable, inviting spaces with views of the surrounding woods. The primary bedroom features a king-size bed and a peaceful setting overlooking the trees. The second upstairs bedroom is accessed through beautiful double sliding barn doors and offers a charming view of the forest and local wildlife. A second full bathroom includes a spacious walk-in shower and a bright, clean feel.

Downstairs, soaring 12-foot ceilings create an open and airy atmosphere, while one of the home’s most unforgettable features, an antique electric train running along the perimeter, gives the lodge its distinctive personality. The custom-built cedar bunk area includes two comfortable full-size beds, making the space a great fit for families or groups. Every sleeping area includes quick-charge USB outlets for added convenience.

The Train Station Lodge is also a great home base for exploring the area. Guests are within easy driving distance of Harpers Ferry, Antietam, and the Shenandoah region, making it easy to enjoy hiking, history, scenic views, and day trips. Charles Town is also nearby for dining, entertainment, and the casino.

Whether you are looking for a peaceful wooded getaway, a memorable family stay, or a unique place that feels unlike a standard rental, The Train Station Lodge offers a setting and experience guests will remember.

My friends and I had a great time at the Train Station Lodge! The lodge is a guest house located adjacent to the main house on a large forested property. It was centrally located to the different towns and activities that we wanted to explore, quiet, and a good size for our group. We would totally consider staying here again if we come back to the area!

The house was just as described. Nice and comfortable rooms and beds. There was an issue with the heating of the house- the downstairs does not stay as warm as the upstairs so it made it hard for the bunk bed members to sleep comfortably the first night. After bringing up the issue to the host he did bring over a space heater for us to use and raised the temp of the heat overnight. The temp is locked and monitored by the host so I did have to ask for it to be raised from 70 to at least 74 to keep the space warm. That was the only issue we had with the space- but it has great hot water and a gorgeous master bathroom with its own fireplace and rainfall shower. The cutest clawfoot tub to enjoy a nice soak in. It was a great space that my kids enjoyed. It is located a little up in the hills/ mountainside so expect to be at least 15min away from amenities.

fun stay in a beautiful location

We really enjoyed our stay at the Train Station. The location was out of the traffic of the tourist areas, but they were easily accesible. It was very peaceful in the woods and the house itself was well stocked and the beds were comfortable! If you are looking for a place that has a great place to hang out together as a family (like a comfortable living room with a big sectional sofa) this is not the place you are looking for. If you are like us and spend most of your waking hours out doing different activities and need a clean comfortable place to eat meals, bathe and sleep, the Train Station would be hard to beat.

The property was as pictured and clean. The host was quick to respond to our questions and was very helpful. Our only complaint was that the ad and exterior photos made it seem like there would be privacy and this was not our experience. The lodge is actually an above the garage apartment next to a large home. The third bay is the kitchen, which is on the ground floor and the bedrooms and bathrooms are above the garage. When we arrived, there was a group at the firepit right in front of the garage apartment. Only a gravel drive separated the two areas. The group grew as the day progressed and I think we counted a total of 12 cars at the property. We were close enough to hear most of the conversations and had to close the blinds on all the windows to feel any sense of separation. Our top consideration when looking for a place to stay was a quiet and private property where we wouldn't be on top of neighbors, which was not the case here.

A Truly Unforgettable Stay!

From the moment we walked into this incredible home, we were completely captivated by its uniqueness. The toy train set that loops around the ceiling above the dining room was a delightful surprise—our family was in awe of it, and the kids couldn’t get enough of watching it go around! The custom bunk beds were another huge hit with the little ones, adding an extra touch of charm and fun. As for my wife and I, we truly appreciated the privacy and comfort of the master bedroom on the second floor—it was the perfect retreat after a day of family adventures. With a family of seven, we were pleased to find there was more than enough space for everyone to spread out and sleep comfortably. We also took a lovely morning hike along the trails on the property, which was a memorable experience for us all. The kids were thrilled to spot wildlife up close, adding a magical touch to the stay. The host was outstanding—communication was seamless and they were incredibly responsive to our needs, making our stay stress-free. This home offered everything we could have hoped for and more. We had an unforgettable time and would not hesitate to return for another amazing stay! Highly recommend!

Home away from home❤️

This lovely home tucked in the woods was perfect for our family. The beds were very comfortable. The master suite was spacious, the master bathroom was beautiful! Our children liked the bunk beds so much they dreamed of how we could remodel our house as such. They had everything in the kitchen you need. I liked that there was a full washer and dryer as well.

About the host

Hosted by Brandon Bowman

Host profile image
I am a structural engineer, a husband, and a father with a young family, and I have always had a deep appreciation for architecture, craftsmanship, and spaces that feel meaningful. I love creating places that are not only comfortable, but memorable, with character that reflects the history and spirit of the local area.

Before becoming an engineer, I worked in coffee shops and restaurants while putting myself through school. That experience taught me the value of great service, attention to detail, and making people feel genuinely welcome, all of which shape how I host today.

Outside of work, I am an avid outdoorsman and enjoy rock climbing, skiing, mountain biking, and exploring mountain ranges around the world. I appreciate places that feel connected to nature, history, and adventure, and that is exactly the kind of experience I hope guests have while staying here.

Why they chose this property

In many ways, this property chose me. My parents purchased it in 1998 as their forever home, and it has been an important part of our family story ever since. When I was in high school, my father and I spent four years building the main house together. That experience had a huge impact on me and helped inspire the path that eventually led me into structural engineering.

The guest house, where The Train Station Lodge is located, was built before the main house and carries its own unique charm and history. What makes this property so special is its setting. It feels peaceful, wooded, and tucked away, yet it is still conveniently close to many of the area’s best attractions. Guests can enjoy the quiet beauty of the property while still being within easy reach of historic towns, outdoor recreation, and regional destinations.

It offers the best of both worlds, a secluded retreat away from the pace of the city, with plenty to explore nearby.

What makes this property unique

The Train Station Lodge was inspired by the rich railroad history of this region. Rail lines and train stations played an important role in shaping this area and in the broader growth of America, connecting communities, supporting commerce, and helping define the character of towns throughout the region. I wanted this property to reflect that history in a way that feels thoughtful, distinctive, and memorable.

Rather than creating a generic rental, I wanted to design a space with a strong sense of place. The lodge blends the warmth of a woodland retreat with railroad-inspired character, giving guests an experience that feels tied to the history of the area rather than disconnected from it. From the name to the design details, the goal was to create something that feels unique, immersive, and rooted in local heritage.

Combined with the wooded setting, walking trails, and the story behind the property itself, The Train Station Lodge offers more than just a place to stay. It offers guests a stay with personality, history, and a setting they are likely to remember long after their trip.
