The Rooms at Grayfield is a small luxury inn (bed & breakfast) situated in a beautifully restored late-19th century railroad depot. Located in historic Jonesville, Michigan.
The railroad first came to the area in the 1850s. The present building (which replaced a smaller wooden structure) was built in 1898 by the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railroad Company which, soon after, merged with the New York Central Railroad (which had long had a significant financial interest in the line). In the mid-1800s, this was a stop on the Main Line between New York and Chicago.
Freight trains still rumble past the old depot from time to time, these days on track operated by the Indiana Northeastern Railroad Company. Despite the owners’ initial worries, guests at Grayfield are delighted to witness a passing freight or, better still, an occasional century-old steam train reminiscent of the glory days of rail service.
