End Of The Line Caboose

Welcome to the End Of The Line Caboose! This fully remodeled 1917 Caboose is the perfect way to spend your Montana vacation, and you'll have the best of the Big Sky State right at your fingertips! This caboose sits on original railroad tracks near the Columbia Mountains, in the heart of the picturesque Flathead Valley. It is located at the end of our private road, surrounded by 3 acres of land. We are a quick 20 minutes to the west entrance of Glacier National Park, 25 minutes to Whitefish Mountain Resort, and about 25 minutes to the east shores of Flathead Lake.

Inside the caboose you’ll find a comfortable queen bed, a set of twin bunk beds, and a loveseat, if you need a sleeping place for a 5th person. We have a kitchenette, providing you with a couple of stove burners, a mini fridge, and a microwave. You’ll have k-cups for the keurig coffee maker and cream and sugar for your coffee/tea. You can enjoy the breathtaking view of the Columbia Mountains right on the back porch, and keep an eye out for deer and wild turkeys that are often wandering the yard!

You’ll have no shortage of places to see and things to do when you visit our beautiful corner of Montana. Feel free to ask for suggestions, or offer them after your stay. We love to hear about all the fun and adventure our guests have while staying with us!

Charming Caboose

This place was FANTASTIC! Close to Glacier National Park, great country setting, super clean, the most comfortable bed, great mountain views and awesome owners, plus they had 2 small dogs that gave me doggie fix, while missing mine at home. I would recommend this a 1000 times!

Caboose Stay
The Caboose is a really super sweet spot to stay if your planning on going to Glacier National Park. 15 miles from the west entrance, so very easy to get to. The host Dan and Amos (doggie) are very friendly. Amos loves to fetch and will show up with his ball at your door. We only had two minor issues. One, the directions need to be updated. And two, we like to cook our own meals, and unfortunately the Caboose doesn’t have the proper equipment, i.e., no grilling utensils, only one small frying pan, and no oven. However, I may have missed the no oven prior to booking. All in all, it’s a fantastic place, location was perfect. We just prefer to cook our meals. Thanks Dan and Holly

Great glacier vacation
It was just as fun to come home to our train as it was to see the sights at glacier. The kids loved it and the attention to detail made all the difference. They were great to communicate with and answered my questions in a timely matter.

Holly and Dan were excellent hosts. Enjoyed several conversations with them. Caboose was planned out so well. Enjoyed deck early evenings. Train light outside was a wonderful tough to the atmosphere. Wish we could have stayed longer. Cannot tell you how nice this stay was.

Had a great time in the caboose. Loved the nostalgic feel. Owners were close and available, but not needed. Loved the patio. Air cooled it nicely. Was surprised no tv, but thankful too. Close to GNP west entrance. Thanks for the memories.

Very well appointed, authentic, clean and comfortable train caboose, which has been refurbished and updatedm. Hostess was very helpful. Don’t try to find the place until you get directions from the hostess, you’ll get lost.

Wonderful and unique stay
It’s hard to find something new to say about this property that hasn’t already been said by other reviewers. It is a wonderful and unique place to stay that was loved by all of the members of our family (but especially our 9 and 7 year old sons). The owners have done a tremendous job transforming the caboose into something that is truly cozy and comfortable to stay in. The one thing that did surprise me (in a good way) was the charming area the caboose is located in. There is plenty of space between the caboose and the nearest properties, providing lots of privacy and quiet. Really can’t say enough positive things about this place.

A dream come true
This cute little Caboose is a awesome home away from home. It has everything you need to feel comfortable during your stay. The view is amazing and only 20 minutes away from Glacier National Park. The hosts are wonderful and would do anything to help make your stay complete. The Caboose is adorable inside and the detail is amazing. My son is crazy about trains and this made his dream come true of staying in a Caboose come true.

We loved our stay here! All the attention to detail is perfect and they’ve managed to fit a kitchenette, loveseat, shower, toilet, bunk beds and queen bed all into this place super well! The outdoor connected patio is a bonus too. Easy access to Glacier National Park with plenty of things to see and do in the area.

Fun, comfortable, scenic, and unique!
We’ve had unique accommodations in the past, including tents, yurts, boats, and luxury hotels, but never a beautifully restored red caboose. The location of the caboose, resting on a section of track in the Flathead River valley, is scenic, and quiet. Inside and out, the caboose is wonderfully restored and decorated. The interior woodwork is beautiful, and creates a warm , cozy, and relaxing feel. And yet, one can imagine rattling down a track hooked to the back end of a train, headed to some exotic location. Oh, and yes, the property is clean and comfortable, has everything you might need, and the hosts, Dan and Holly, are great! We were delayed one day by a road closing blizzard, but Holly offered us an extra day, which we gladly accepted! Thank you Holly and Dan, for helping make our visit exceptional.

Fun and beautiful place to stay!
We had so much fun at the little caboose and would love to visit again sometime in the spring. Only thing to be aware of is that Columbia falls in winter time can be hard to drive in and quite a few places were closed for the season. Still plenty of cozy things to do and the hosts were very kind and communicative! Just make sure you have a car that does well in snow.

Great location, great accommodations, very quiet and peaceful as well as a magical place to stay for a magical snowshoe jaunt into GNP on Christmas day. A unique experience in a very well kept caboose. Great location and view towards West Glacier. The host was polite answered questions and returned messages promptly. I can't say enough about our experience at this location. We hope to return for another stay soon. Sincerely, TnT Tim & Terri

Wonderful stay!!
This place was adorable! Check in was a lockbox which was super simple. We had a great time hanging out on the back porch watching the horses and the deer. The place was perfect for the 2 of us! Holly was so nice and when I asked for cotton sheets she was so sweet to give them to me (I get really hot with polyester sheets). And when we locked ourselves out she was ready with a spare key. Haha! She was always available and ready to help. The only thing I would recommend is putting another mirror in outside of the bathroom. The mirror is right above the toilet, which is not good for putting your makeup on. Otherwise, this place was perfect!
