Northern California is home to a rural bed and breakfast that combines the nostalgia of the old railway with modern luxury. The Featherbed Railroad Bed and Breakfast Resort is set in a park on the shores of upper Clear Lake and consists of 9 beautifully themed vintage train caboose. If you stay at the Featherbed Railroad, you can also enjoy outdoor activities like fishing, cycling, swimming, and hiking.

The hotel overlooks the private boat launch, scenic beach, and pier. Every caboose is tastefully decorated and equipped with all the modern amenities you could want, including hot tubs for your relaxation. The sleeping arrangements are of particular note because they are all Downlite genuine goose-down featherbeds. The cabooses also have a kitchenette, spa bath, private bathrooms, access to Wi-Fi, and outdoor barbeque facilities. To top it all off, each caboose has stunning vistas of the lake and mountains in the distance.

Lake County’s Clearlake offers activities of all sorts, from boating and fishing to antique shopping. There are almost 30 premium wineries within a short drive of the Featherbed Railroad. Ecotourism is growing quickly in the region with hiking trails, kayaking, and bicycling and geocaching is very popular here too. In fact, we have some great ideas for two- and three-day itineraries.

The Featherbed Railroad is just two hours north of San Francisco and about 90 minutes away from Sacramento. Also nearby are Mendocino and Healdsburg and Calistoga. The unhurried local attitude in Lake County makes this a wonderful destination for anyone looking to relax away from the stress of work.
