The Featherbed Railroad Main Station has been here for 100 years. Built originally as a resort, it still serves that purpose today with its Grand Dining Hall and Gathering Place.
The Grand Dining Hall and Gathering Place is currently undergoing a complete restoration to include multimedia facilities for meetings and special events. What won't change is the huge local rock fireplace and the quaint charm that a 100-year-old building brings with it.
Our Kitchen is open! As of September 30, 2008 our brand new kitchen is now open and we're back to serving those famous Featherbed Railroad Breakfasts. We've got a new spin on the famous hash brown quiche, plus fresh local fruit. We make our own pastries right here and even serve fruit grown on property, when available.
Of course breakfast includes dessert, and one of the favorites are our local strawberries with a twist.
Main Station History
While we're still hoping to get more information, our understanding is that the former Johnson's Resort was a site where there was both tent camping and what is today referred to as "Glamping" - cottages made up of tent-like structures on a traditional foundation. The Johnsons were way ahead of their time as this is all the rage with some travelers today.
We believe the family built what is today the Main Station building with its beautiful lava rock fireplace and expansive guest dining hall. We did have one visitor who stopped by and was thrilled that the Main Station was still standing because she remembered fondly the wonderful times she had as a child at Johnson's Resort. She hadn't been here since the 1950s, so it had been a while.
