This was a fun place to stay if you like trains. We were staying/sleeping in someone's former workplace, an actual train caboose repurposed for lodging in miniature -- it's a train after all! It's got what you need -- shower, bed, loveseat, desk, table and two kitchen chairs, microwave, fridge. Great communication of expectations from owner. Frequent train horns about a block away. Awesome! Close to everything. Only drawback was the steep, grated train steps was not compatible with our dog's paws, so we had to lift her up and down every time. Nice patio up at train level. Cupola makes great storage space. If you love trains, you'll love staying here.

We had a nice 2-night stay in the Caboose. Cute little place out of the ordinary. Great location for biking the trails. Definitely felt like we were in a train - especially when the trains went by!

Creative fun stay. The caboose was clean had well thought out design and amenities of home. Refrigerator, ac, coffee maker, electric plate for cooking with great pans and utensils.
The decor was so much fun with the red colors of the Soo caboose throughout. We had pizza from Slice of Chicago which we highly recommend. Sandhills cranes and there chicks where on the trails surrounding the Caboose. You are going to hear the trains makes you feel like you’re riding the rails. Makes you smile. The Sparta-Elroy and Lacrosse River State Trail are super close. We rented bikes from Speeds bike shop the people there are great. Would highly recommend to others. Thanks to Dave for creating and sharing the Caboose.

The caboose was so well designed it had everything we needed. An amazing creative use of space. Loved the educational signs and books that explained the original items that are still in place. Walking the trail to the river was enjoyable. We filled up our water bottles routinely at the artesian well while watching the goldfish pond. David texted to see if we needed anything and was quick to respond to any questions. We loved this place

Caboose #34 is a charming step back in time and away from the usual business of modern life. The property is so peaceful with a lovely trail to the river, a secluded fire pit and relaxing deck. Seconds away from the bike trails and a few short blocks from downtown Sparta. It's a totally fun break from the norm,
