Good to know
Stay where Gilbert began. 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 and its spirit from that story — a comfortable, welcoming two-bedroom a couple of minutes' stroll from where the rails first put Gilbert on the map. All aboard for your Gilbert getaway. Two real bedrooms with real beds • King bedroom — ceiling fan, full closet with hangers • Queen bedroom — ceiling fan, full closet with hangers • One bedroom also has a dedicated workspace: 4-ft desk, office chair, and lamp • Living room — 50" smart TV and a small sofa, if the kids want their own bed The kitchen is stocked for real cooking: pots, pans, knives and boards, dishes for six, oven, toaster, tea kettle, and a coffee maker with grounds, tea, and creamer provided (heads up: no dishwasher). The bathroom has a tub/shower combo with towels for four, hairdryer, and toiletries. In-unit washer and dryer with soap and dryer sheets, AC and heating, and fast WiFi throughout. Out back, there's a shared backyard with a small grass area, reserved just for our guests. Sleeps 4 comfortably — built for spring-training trips, medical stays near Banner Gateway, tournament weekends, and walkable downtown escapes. Planning a longer visit? We're open to monthly stays — just message us.
Other Details to Note
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. - Downtown Gilbert grew up around its rail line and trains still pass nearby. Some guests notice them, most don't. - 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. We're Superhosts and usually reply within the hour - message us any time for check-in help, restaurant picks in the Heritage District or spring-training logistics.
