Chattanooga to Chickamauga Getaway

Step aboard a first-class travel experience unlike any other—TVRM’s new overnight Chickamauga Turn invites you to ride, dine, and unwind in vintage rail style. For the first time ever, guests can journey aboard the classic 1877 Dome Lounge Car, stay the night in a historic mansion, and return by rail the next morning. It’s a railway getaway built for romance, relaxation, and rediscovery.

🚂 Your Journey Begins in Chattanooga

Your adventure starts at Grand Junction Station, where you’ll board the Chickamauga Turn bound for the charming town of Chickamauga, Georgia. Pulled by vintage diesel TAG 80, this scenic train ride glides through the Georgia foothills, treating guests to blooming spring views, open farmland, and railway history in motion.

The onboard experience in Dome Class seating is unmatched—table service, spacious window views, and the elegant ambiance of the 1947-built dome car elevate the ride to something truly unforgettable.

🏨 Spend the Night at the Gordon Lee Mansion

After arriving in Chickamauga, your day continues with leisure time in the heart of downtown. Explore antique shops, enjoy a park stroll, or dine locally using your included $100 dinner gift card.

That night, you’ll stay at the Historic Gordon Lee Mansion, a Civil War-era estate that once hosted Union General William Rosecrans. Your accommodations are located on the second floor of the mansion and include a comfortable bedroom and full access to the home’s living history.

🥞 Breakfast Before the Return Ride

Wake up to a satisfying catered breakfast served in your lodging, featuring:

Scrambled eggs, biscuits with jelly and butter, sausage, bacon, and gravy
OR a lighter option of fresh fruit, pastries, bagels with cream cheese, yogurt, and granola

Following breakfast, return to the station where your dome-class return ride to Chattanooga awaits.
