Railway Retreat · 2BR · King · Walk to Main St | Apartment in Gilbert
2 Bedroom Apartment in Gilbert
In 1902 the Arizona Eastern Railway laid track through a stretch of farmland and a town grew up around the siding.

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

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.
