Replica of McGees depot

[Kurt Maechner]

I found out about a rebuilt replica of the McGees depot that I had not heard of before.  After some research on the property I wrote up a post on it here and put all the photos I could find of it.  Has anyone on this forum been there?  Is it worth a visit?  Is it still in operation as a bed and breakfast?  Most of my info on it is from an article written 20 years ago.

There are a few posts on Kurt's item over on the DSP-P Yahoo site.

I heard he passed away a few years ago, it was for sale.

Do you know if it was a successful B&B while the owner was still living?  It seemed, from the article that I read, that he must have put a great deal of money and work into constructing it.

My impression was that it had closed up a long time ago, I believe that is where the hand car for RR Day used to come from. I used to drive by a lot 11 ish years ago and do not remember any life, it was on the market some time back, do not know the current status.

On our recent trip in Colorado we drove past this McGees depot replica.  There are certainly signs of life in the sense that a number of cars were on the property.  We didn't stop to look around, but there was no sign referencing it as a B&B at all.  All the other "stuff" is still around: the replica rail cars, a water tower, a bridge, and what appears to be a stretch of ROW (can't tell if there's some type of track on it).
