Next time you are looking for something unusual and quirky to stay at, you should book a room at this train in Two Harbors, Minnesota.  Yes...I said a train.

Everything you need to know about the Inn in Minnesota that is actually a train

The official name of the place is called Northern Rail Traincar Inn and I heard about it because one of my old neighbors stayed there recently.  My dad is a HUGE train fanatic and if it was close to us, I thought maybe I'd surprise him with a stay there because this would make his entire year.  It's not close to Rochester, Minnesota so scratching that from my Christmas list idea.  But this would be an awesome weekend getaway or fun vacation stop for you.

Here are a few fun facts about the place according to their website:

  • This inn was on Peter Greenberg's list of the "Worlds 10 Most Unusual Hotels"
