Railfanning At It's Best

Review Submitted: September 16, 2010 Date of Stay: August 2009
If you are thinking of staying here, than you must know Folkston is about trains. And this is a great place for seeing plenty of train action, my family and myself stayed for 3 nights an saw over 230 train movements. The lodge is larger than the average hotel room and has a full kitchen and nice size bath, both have been updated and are very clean. Meals and location is were the lodge beats a hotel/motel hands down. We stocked up at the local grocery store and cooked most of our meals. With the stove/oven, microwave and regular size refrigerator, meals were just like at home and you don't have to miss any train action. The back porch is great and has a good view of the tracks and if desired the platform is less than a minute away. The lodge is a train watchers paradise. Its a fantastic place stay. I have been coming to Folkston for many years now and this is the way to do Folkston and with the caboose lodge coming, it will be even better.

Trainwatching at its best

Review Submitted: August 11, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
This is a great location for seeing plenty of train action, and the back porch is perfectly suited for watching - high powered ceiling fan to keep the bugs off, and close enough to walk out to the tracks if you want to. It's also walking distance to the local viewing platform and downtown. The accomodations are larger than your average hotel room, extremely clean, and very nicely decorated. The kitchen and bath have both been updated and are very modern. If you love trains, this is a can't miss!

Train Watchers Haven

Review Submitted: July 21, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
Roadmaster's Lodge was a great spot if you love trains, as we do. The Lodge was pleasant and clean. It was well furnished with just about everything you need for a comfortable stay. We stayed a week.
The Lodge is furnished in period style. The bathroom had a great shower with plenty of room.
If you wanted to stay in and cook, there was a charcoal grill and enough pots and pans. We ate out a lot. Some of the restaurants we expected to find were closed. We ate a couple times at the Okefenokee Restaurant, which was very good. They have a buffet at night now, also. We got barbeque which was very good. We did not care for Mikey's Pizza.

Wonderful Stay at the Lodge

Review Submitted: April 20, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
Me and my 11 year old son stayed at the Lodge when we went to Folkston to Train Watch in April 2009 and enjoyed it.

We didn't have to remain at the Platform, but could sit on the back porch and watch the trains.

Everything we needed was available to us and look forward to staying again in the summer.

We would recommend this location to stay in and yes the trains run at night, but I enjoyed it.
