The Train connection

A quieter way to arrive

The Train Connection is a private, hosted arrival and departure service connecting the Brockville or Gananoque VIA Rail station with select partner accommodations.

Step off the train and your local host will be waiting to welcome you, assist with your luggage and bring you to your stay. Along the way, you’ll receive a personal introduction to the region you are about to explore.

It is more than a transfer. It is where your experience begins.
