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
Private entrance with a smart-lock keypad. Check-in any time after 4:00 PM; a door code unique to your reservation is sent 48 hours before arrival and works for your whole stay.

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.
