All aboard! Just because you might not be able to go on your dream vacation this summer, that doesn’t mean you can’t have the time of your life right here at home. That’s right, with so many charming Ontario train car Airbnbs and rentals available, you can get your summer staycation plans back on track before it’s too late.

Narcity may receive a portion of sales if you purchase something from this article, which was created independently by Narcity's editorial team just for you.

From authentic train car experiences that will have you cuddling by candlelight to modern converted train cars that have all the amenities you could dream of, there’s a little something for everyone out there. 

Whether you’re a train enthusiast or simply want to discover unique places to spend the night in Ontario, these stunning rentals are sure to stop you in your tracks. 

Seriously, these rentals are off the rails. 

Okay, okay, we’re done with the puns. For now, at least.

Not only are these cabooses pretty cute, but they’re situated on some seriously breathtaking lands to boot. 

One rental in particular is parked next to a gorgeous vineyard that you can wander through at sunset. 

Doesn’t that sound dreamy? 

Now all that’s left to do is rally the squad and decide which train car you’ll be checking out this season.

Full steam ahead! (Last one, we promise.)
