About this villa rental
Escape to this historic caboose outside Blackfoot, Idaho. Western Pacific No. 434 is a 1955 built bay window caboose that was used on the Feather River route between Salt Lake City, Utah and Oakland, California before being retired. It has been updated to be a cozy tiny home while retaining much of the original layout. This includes original cabinets, closets, ceiling rails, and bathroom.
434 is located on a quiet country road conveniently located 3 miles from Blackfoot and I-15. On nearly an acre of ground, there is plenty of space to relax and unwind. Enjoy our custom firepit, perfect for roasting a few marshmallows or watching the stars come out. A variety of wildlife frequents the area, including deer, fox, heron, ibis, sandhill cranes, and numerous songbirds.
The interior has been retrofitted with all the necessities for a comfortable stay. As you enter the caboose, you will find a set of bunk beds built in next to the original torpedo and fusee box. Train theme books and toys are stocked by the bunkbeds for kids. Opposite the bunk beds is a built-in bar with seating for four. The kitchen has all the basics necessary for cooking including an induction cooktop, pots and pans, utensils, oil and spices. In the center of the caboose, a living room area with a love seat and chairs is tucked into the bay windows. The original restroom has been converted into a small wet bath. Finally, at the far end of the caboose a bedroom area is outfitted with a comfortable full size bed. Games, a smart TV, and high speed internet are provided for your entertainment.
Outside, a patio with chairs and a dining table expands the available space. Make use of the propane grill or fire pit for outdoor cooking.
While the caboose has all the necessities, there are some inconveniences that are inherent with a tiny home and maintaining the original caboose features.

Everything was great

Staying here was a delight. It was even better than expected. While guests should be prepared for a touch of camper-style living during their stay, it was above and beyond in every way. It was a really cool experience and a story for us to tell about our 2 nights in a caboose!

We absolutely love this place! Alison is a great host, excellent communication and easy access. This was our second stay this summer, we loved it so much the first time we just had to return for a long weekend. So glad we did and we’re sorry to have to leave again. Cozy and peaceful, we couldn’t have wanted more.

This was one of my favorite vacation rentals by far. The owners spent a lot of attention on detail and cleanliness. We loved being outside of town and in a very unique setting. The space is small but the amenities were well thought out and covered for what was needed. Everything was neat, clean and comfortable. It was also nice to spend time outside by the fire pit to watch the stars. This was definitely a great find and would definitely recommend if you are in the Blackfoot area.
