Available March 2026: Step into the Golden Age of rail travel—where an elegant sleeping car appears to have paused at a forgotten "back-of-beyond" mountain station. Inside this rustic eco-cabin, a 1974 Airstream Ambassador has been re-imagined as a classic Pullman-style sleeper, offering refined comfort for up to four guests, with additional sleeping on a sleeper sofa outside the sleeping car.
Reclaimed, rustic materials and warm wood tones frame the scene, while modern energy-efficient comforts keep the experience effortless. Enjoy a spa-like bath, an outdoor soaking tub, a thoughtfully equipped galley kitchen, and outdoor living with a Blackstone griddle, fire pit, and pizza oven. Step out your door for easy access to the onsite Nuwati Trail, where forest paths echo the romance of arrival, departure, and discovery along with all of the activities and entertainment at the main 3 Little Bears Lodge.
A place where railroads met wilderness—and chose to stay.Â
