What Bike n' Bed Actually Bundles
The logic is straightforward: the railbikes launch from the depot next door to the hotel, so the two most common purchases in Frostburg — a ride and a bed — belong on one confirmation. Bike n' Bed packages pair a night at the inn with a railbike from Tracks & Yaks at a bundled price, paid in one Stripe-secured checkout at tunnelhotel.com/book. Two versions exist, sized for two people or for a crew.
Bike n' Bed Pair — $169.66 Plus Lodging Tax
The Pair covers two people end to end: one night in a queen room plus a tandem railbike on the 3 PM Helmstetter Hotshot, the 10-mile ride out to Helmstetter's Curve — the famous horseshoe bend where the track sweeps around a working farm valley. Price is $169.66 plus tax, itemized at checkout: Maryland's 14% lodging tax on the room portion and the 5% Tracks & Yaks activity tax on the ride portion.
The afternoon departure is the quiet genius of the package. Arrive in Frostburg midday, pedal the curve at 3 PM, and land back at the depot with the evening open for the GAP Deck and a wood-fired pizza. Then your bed is thirty seconds away. This is the package that turns a railbike ride into an overnight without any planning skill required.
Bike n' Bed Group — $249.66 Plus Lodging Tax
The Group version scales the same bundle for a crew: one night in the Big Savage Bunk Room — our six-sleeper flagship with a queen and two bunk sets — plus a quad railbike that seats up to four. It runs $249.66 plus lodging tax on the room portion. Bought separately, the room alone lists from $147.06 and quad rides start at $139, so the bundle math tilts firmly in the group's favor.
Six sleepers and four railbike seats aren't a mismatch, by the way — railbikes price per bike, so a bigger crew simply adds a tandem to the same departure at checkout. The full case for the flagship room lives at tunnelhotel.com/blog/big-savage-bunk-room-groups.
What Bike n' Bed Is NOT: The Queen City Combo
One naming trap catches people every season, so let's disarm it. The Queen City Combo is a different product entirely: a railbike-plus-steam-train experience — pedal one direction, ride the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad the other — from $169 per tandem, with no lodging included. Bike n' Bed is the opposite pairing: lodging plus a railbike, no train ticket. If your dream day involves locomotive No. 1309, book the Combo as an experience and add a room separately; if it involves a bed, Bike n' Bed is your bundle.
