Train Station Inn
This is one of the most unique lodgings in Nova Scotia—and in Canada, for that matter. Located down a side street in Tatamagouche’s former railyard, the Train Station Inn offers eight Canadian National cabooses and two boxcars for overnight lodging. The rail cars have been refurbished as very simple rooms and vary in comfort and character. Some are decorated in Edwardian parlor motifs with bead-board paneling and striped wallpaper; others come outfitted with hardwood floors, gas woodstoves, kitchenettes, king beds, and little sitting areas with plastic patio chairs. Kids are sure to have a blast in Caboose 9, which features two vintage conductor seats still intact in the cupola, with a great view of the rail yard. All stays include a continental breakfast served in a men’s waiting room lined with lanterns and railway memorabilia. (It doubles as a cafe.) The Baggage Room Bar serves local craft ciders and beers, and hosts live music performances on the railway platform. The reception area and gift shop are located in the ladies’ waiting room. And yes, there is even a dining car here, serving lunches and dinners using produce grown in their own local garden, pesticide-free.
