We were thrilled to be staying in an actual railway car that was turned into a comfortable and cozy suite. While the location is somewhat remote, it was about fifteen minutes from main roads that led to area attractions, restaurants, etc. Our host John was very accessible and accommodating, providing a truly unique travel experience.

Another magical stay!
This was our second time visiting the caboose, and it won't be our last! The host is very responsive and kind, and we really appreciated the welcome note and goodies. The caboose itself is a dream, especially surrounded by snow. We loved spending our day hiking and our night cozy in the caboose. Our pups loved it, too!If you're looking for a hike and scenic drive, I highly recommend Wyalusing State Park. We saw 7 Bald Eagles on the drive from Wyalusing back to the caboose!

Loved it!
We loved our stay! We were here in single digit weather and still had a blast. We enjoyed the complimentary wine, cozy hot tub, and nearby hiking. The snow was magical. We'd love to come back again to experience the caboose in warmer weather. Thanks for a great stay!

Perfect Christmas Destination
We had a wonderful stay over Christmas. Lights were strung up and the path to the hottub cleared of snow. Totally idyllic. The futon is very firm, but otherwise our stay was perfect.

I booked this as a surprise getaway for my Husbands birthday. Don't be fooled at the size of this caboose, my husband is 6"4' 220lbs and fit! we stayed two wonderful evenings. Watched some football, played some board games, had a fire and enjoyed the outdoor hot tub. We would come back again.

Relaxing Stay
My wife and I came up for a weekend getaway. If you are looking for a relaxing stay away from the hustle and bustle of life. You will not regret staying in the caboose. The property is in a secluded location but close to local towns for anything you need. John was a great host and the caboose has everything you will need. Very clean and the bonus on a hot tub. We would recommend staying here to anyone and will definitely be back!

Very nice caboose, very unique opportunity to stay. Host was very thoughtful and great. Futon was ok to sleep on, hot tub was great. Everything was great for the weekend except it was dry so we couldnt have a campfire. Ladybug season too. But all worth while for the stay
