About Us
Take a Break
You need to escape now and then; a chance to slow down and recharge. Come enjoy our secluded and Vintage rail cars , surrounded by nothing but beautiful scenery and endless serenity. And if you like history, check out our 1912 Wood Caboose or 1940's Freight/Box Car filled with vintage decor. Just sit back and swing on this vintage swing with others!
Rooms
Choose from two recently built bedrooms. Each room has gorgeous vintage railroad decor. On a clear day you can see endless fields and Wildlife. During warmer months you can walk or bike the adjacent 80 acres, which was once the turnaround for the Chicago Milwaukee Railroad. Cooler months, put your warm clothes on and maybe cross country skies! In the Summer months we have endless wild black raspberries to top your personal Dairy Queen Ice Cream!
Experience
A Lil' R&R is the ULTIMATE railway-centric Air BnB style getaway for anyone seeking a totally unique, utterly deluxe experience nestled in Iowa's gorgeous rural landscape. The location is just a few miles west of Cedar Rapids in rolling farmland, where proprietor Karla has totally refurbished former rolling stock to turn a vintage caboose and large boxcar into a pair of spacious "rooms" brimming with railroad-themed antiques and memorabilia from the golden age of American train travel. We slept soundly on a cloud-soft mattress in the boxcar and enjoyed delish cinnamon rolls and hot coffee the next morning in the connected caboose. We HIGHLY recommend the experience to anyone looking for an unforgettable stay in the area! The Schoons
