PARKING: up to 3 cars may park at the caboose (off-street driveway for 1-2, street parking for 1-2)
HEATING/AIR: ductless heating & air with remote
POTENTIAL FOR NOISE: This industrial experience will NOT be for everyone, especially those looking for total quiet. You will hear the sounds of trains going by, construction forklifts beeping, etc. The factory works through the night. Some nights are more noisy than others, and unfortunately this is out of our control. Sunday nights tend to be the quietest as often the factory is off work!
Our family lives nearby and is not usually bothered by it, but we realize it's not for everyone, particularly if you're a light sleeper. The caboose has sound-proofing and double layers of insulation around the bedroom area, and we provide a white noise machine and portable fan for your added comfort.
*You must be 25 years or older to reserve James Station.
ADDITIONAL GUESTS: If you have more than 3 in your group wanting to stay, we also offer a 1 bedroom apartment AND a separate 5 bedroom home nearby that you may rent in coordination with your stay. Look up our listings (under Amy's profile) "River View Downtown Historic Apartment" or the "Candy Apple."
HOSTED BY: James Station is a part of the All Belong Collective, a local small business dedicated to providing 5 star stays. Our team will take good care of you!
SMALL GATHERINGS: Gatherings and small events are considered on a case by case basis and include an event fee. Please message our team & provide as many details as possible.
***HOUSE RULES***
1. NO SMOKING OR VAPING. You must be at least 20 feet away from the doors of the caboose and please dispose of all trash. We will impose an additional charge if our cleaning staff smells smoke after your stay.
2. Quiet hours after 10pm to be good neighbors.
3. Please FOLLOW CHECKOUT INSTRUCTIONS in the Guest Manual before departing.
4. SHOES OFF in the caboose will keep the inside in top condition- thanks!

About the host
Hosted by Amy Corbett

I'm a musician (violin) and a teacher by trade, but a few years ago my husband, Marc, and I left 17 years of campus ministry to enter the world of entrepreneurship! We've got a unique family and don't often feel like we "fit in" and so it's created a passion in us to create inviting spaces where anyone can belong. We own properties of our own & co-host for others who have joined the All Belong Collective. If you need help finding a great place to stay, chances are we can help! When you choose one of our All Belong Co stays, we want everyone, no matter who you are or where you come from, to feel welcome. You can see all our listings here on my profile page. Follow us at All Belong Co and let's connect!
