Railway Retreat · 2-Zi. · King · Zu Fuß zur Hauptstraße

In 1902 the Arizona Eastern Railway laid track through a stretch of farmland, and a town grew up around the siding. Railway Retreat takes its name from that story - a comfortable 2-bedroom a couple of minutes' walk from where the rails first put Gilbert on the map, with a shared gravel courtyard out back.

PET FRIENDLY
All four Elm St suites are dog friendly. One well-behaved pet per unit is welcome with prior approval and a $75 pet fee, added to your reservation before check-in. Travelling with more than one? Message us before booking. Pets are not allowed on beds or furniture, and we ask that all pet waste is cleaned up before departure. A pet that arrives without prior approval incurs a $500 unauthorized pet fee.

SELF CHECK-IN
Private entrance with a smart-lock keypad. Check-in any time after 4:00 PM; a door code unique to your reservation is sent 48 hours before arrival and works for your whole stay. Check-out is 10:00 AM with no chores. Early check-in from 2:00 PM and late check-out until 12:00 PM are available at $25 per hour with at least 48 hours' notice, subject to our cleaning team's schedule.

PARKING AND GETTING AROUND
Free street parking directly in front of the building - a quiet, uncrowded block - plus a dedicated space at the rear. Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport is about 15 minutes and Sky Harbor about 25. Most guests drive or use rideshare; Downtown Gilbert itself is very walkable.

The whole suite is yours — private entrance, smart-lock keypad, and contactless self check-in any time after 4:00 PM. Your door code is unique to your reservation and arrives 48 hours before you do. Spare keys are kept on site, so a lockout never ends your evening.

Out back you share a gravel courtyard with Unit A — shaded outdoor dining, reserved for guests. Free street parking is right outside on a quiet, uncrowded block, plus a free open lot at the rear with room for every unit.

Located just north of historic Downtown Gilbert (the Heritage District) in zip code 85234. Walkable, locally oriented retail, restaurants, coffee shops and a performing-arts venue are within a few blocks. Nearby points of interest include Agritopia, Gilbert Regional Park and Riparian Preserve at Water Ranch—good for walking, trails and family outings. The immediate area is primarily low-rise residential and small commercial properties, making it convenient for short stays and meals out.

Most guests get around Gilbert by car; the town is car-centric but downtown Gilbert is highly walkable for dining and local errands. Valley Metro operates local and express buses serving Gilbert and the broader East Valley; rideshare and local taxis are widely available. For short neighborhood trips check Valley Metro bus routes and any Gilbert on‑demand services. Cycling is possible on quieter streets and nearby multi-use paths at parks and preserves.

A FEW HONEST NOTES
- You're in one of four suites in a small, quiet building, so you may occasionally hear neighbours through shared walls.
- An active freight rail line runs near downtown Gilbert, and trains pass at times through the night. Light sleepers may want to bring earplugs.
- There is no pool on the property, and the kitchen has no dishwasher.
- Infants and children are welcome. No smoking or vaping, and no parties or events.
