Inside, original railroad character and mini-museum details bring the caboose’s history to life.

The caboose sleeps up to four guests and includes a spotless private bathroom, kitchenette, Smart TV, Wi-Fi, quality bedding, robes, Bluetooth speakers, chargers, games, and thoughtful comforts throughout.

Coffee, tea, hot cocoa, local honey, and fresh muffins for your first morning make it easy to slow down and enjoy the experience.

The place was clean, smelled fresh, the muffins she had were amazing. Every little detail about the place being a train cargo was perfect. The hooks for towls and toilet paper being part of the rail road. The flashing lights when coming into the property was very neat. The fire pit was perfect and she supplied the wood, lighter, and fire starter. Everything about this place was amzing. Will definitely be back. Worth the 4 hour drive.
