Fall odyssey
We spent a week at the Depot while touring Wisconsin chasing the fall colours. We loved the decor of the cottage, the beds were comfortable & we enjoyed the country vibes. As the Depot is in quite an isolated position you need to consider bringing basic supplies with you. E.g milk etc. we only found out about the lack of onsite shopping when we arrived late at night. We found out where a supermarket was, once we arrived & read the information sheet. Richlands Center was a valuable resource for diner breakfast & Walmart!

This is a cool little property. The entire location is included. It is really well done inside. The outside could use painting but inside is great. Gotham is out there so be ready to enjoy the countryside

Beautifully decorated and very clean. We were going to American Players Theater and the drive there and back was relatively quick. This might be an annual retreat for us!

Another great getaway
This was our second short stay at the Depot. We love this little house and use it as a launching off spot for biking, paddling and short day trips. The road biking around the depot is fantastic. The house itself is very comfortable and well appointed. We love the train themed decor and memorabilia. One thing to note, while there are two bedrooms, the upstairs bedroom doesn’t have a door. Not an issue for our family, but could be awkward for couples traveling together.

Cottage Retreat
My third stay at the lovely, comfortable, welcoming, and very charming Gotham Depot. We come for the APT performances, and then enjoy cooking up wonderful meals at the cottage, and finishing the evening around the firepit with long of fireside chats!! The cottage is spacious, yet cozy. Highly recommended. Hosts are very accessible and gracious. Thanks for making this great spot available for visitors!

A very cute, cozy, lovely little cottage. The inside is really nice, the outside is worn but it is an old building. A nice mix of old with a touch or modern convenience of electricity and plumbing. We would stay here again if coming back to this area.

Amazing property
The house itself is so cool and unique- really beautiful! I also so much appreciate that the beds are comfy, nice quality sheets and pillows, and nice fluffy bath towels. Sometimes rental owners skimp on those- not here. Also had a little snafu with the house- nobody’s fault- and the owners were so kind and responsive to my needs. They are wonderful and attentive people and truly care that their guests have an amazing experience.

Gotham Depot
The depot was thoughtfully furnished and tastefully decorating. The bedding and towels were very clean and fresh smelling. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. One suggestion would be to add a water purifier to sink or have a water jug dispenser in the Kitchen. Ice would have been nice. Also, a short summary of the history of the depot would be nice.

Charming Cottage, Excellent Escape
We were very impressed with the charm and beautify on the interior of this jewel. We wanted to escape for the weekend, and this place was perfect. Quiet, and so well decorated that we just didn't want to leave. The trail adjacent to the property was easy to walk and quiet as well. Our first thought when we walked into the place was "we want to guy this". It's such a lovely stay.

Quiet, comfortable, relaxing atmosphere with just the right decor touches to visually excite and inspire a return visit. Hosts Ross & Theresa were readily available for questions and were a delight to meet and talk with. Will definitely consider another stay at the Depot Chalet. A BIG thank you for a delightful stay and a note to say it was our all-time favorite place above all others we've encountered!
