Conductor’s Suite at The Whistle

The Conductor's Suite is nestled inside The Whistle, a historic boutique railroad depot. Located next to active freight tracks, guests can peek out at the passing trains from the comfort of their room. The grounds contain private, sprawling gardens for guests to enjoy a peaceful outdoor setting. This charming suite is within walking distance from Washington's vibrant town square, Central Park, local grocery, coffee shop, restaurants and stores. The 12.5 mile Kewash trail is just down the street. The Conductor's Suite was designed with a mix of historic, turn-of-the-century character and modern updates. Known for its original hardwood floors and window view of the railroad tracks, this space offers versatile options for guests. For those who want to enjoy the trains, use the screen door to be alerted when the train whistle is nearing. Guests can watch passing trains from the rocking chairs on their front stoop. For those who seek privacy, draw the shades and experience a more intimate setting. High ceilings give this suite an open, airy feel, while the eclectic decor will charm you and your group. Don't miss the gardens! The Whistle's backyard is filled with flowerbeds, a pergola, and stationary train caboose. This location truly one-of-a-kind. The depot's neighborhood is one of the best-located in Washington. Downtown is two blocks south, with numerous restaurants, coffee shops, and even nightlife available to guests. The Kewash Trail, over thirteen miles long, is two blocks west and is a perfect way to unwind after a long day. Take your bike or head there for a walk or run. If you're feeling adventurous, stroll under the adjacent railroad tunnel to listen for an incoming rail to blow its horn in the tunnel's echo chamber.
