Perfect couples’ getaway!
My boyfriend and I came here for a pre-Valentine’s day getaway and had the best time. The plan was to go skiing one day and to the casino the next. We had such an amazing time here though that we skipped the skiing! My boyfriend built us a bonfire one night and we watched the Super Bowl the next night while listening to the waterfall. I’ve never been to North Carolina before but staying here definitely made it one of my favorite trips ever!

The cutest caboose ever!!!
Is there anything not to love about this property?! The location was fantastic and the accommodations were incredible. The separated bath house was such a nice change of pace - it made me be thoughtful about just slowing down, putting my luggage in a different location and cracking a beer and relaxing. Brooke was amazing. Hurricane Helene was on the doorstep and we chose to head out early - Brooke offered potentially lifesaving advice by recommending we not continue on into Asheville due to lower lying elevation. We are planning to come back to this area for a web redemption of our original itinerary and will 100% be back at the caboose.

The location was perfect! You felt away from it all while still having the convenience of being close to major higways. The bathhouse was beautiful and the caboose was so cute and cozy. Brooke was an excellent host and I appreciated her responsiveness.

Amazing stay at the Caboose
We stayed for a few nights on spring break with our two train loving boys. Our stay was amazing and our kids could not have been happier! This is one of those rentals that goes the extra mile with little touches to make your stay amazing. From local beer and sparkling flavored water in the fridge, to plenty of firewood and a super nice bathroom with two shower heads, robes and slippers all the amenities were enjoyed by our group. One of our sons even tried the outdoor shower and got a kick out of it! The hammock swing was amazing and now I want to buy one for our home. Loved the outdoor tv area as well. And I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the waterfall that provided a soothing backdrop to it all! We definitely would return, GREAT stay!

Wonderful stay at The Caboose at Station 451
My wife and I went with our children and spent three nights at The Caboose at Station 451. What a unique and beautiful place to stay! Kids loved sleeping in a train caboose. Property had lots of trees for privacy, great outdoor space and deck with outdoor fire pit, grill, and TV. The owner, Brooke, has thought of every need. We appreciated the snacks and drinks at check in! Very clean unit. We would certainly visit again!

The caboose and station were beautiful, peaceful, private and conveniently located. We saw many wonderful smokey's attractions but wished we had spent more time at the caboose. We really enjoyed the firepit after our late-night returns without the worry of quite hour restrictions. Thank you very much :-) Mike & Jenn

Red Caboose in the Great Smoky Mountains
This was an amazing stay. The Caboose is authentic and well equipped. Welcoming hospitality is found throughout this property. Pay very close attention to the owner’s directions for the road leads you right to the Red Caboose with its welcoming large wrap around covered porch, comfortable beautiful bath house and a natural waterfall immediately behind the caboose. This was the most comfortable sleep and time away I have experienced in a long time. I know where the world is quiet and the welcome is exemplary. I will return .

Could not recommend this place enough. The attention to detail throughout the entire experience was spot on (bluetooth speakers, double shower heads, drinks, soap/shampoo). Even the level of detail with landscaping and design was exceptional. It is perfect for something like an anniversary because it has the luxurious vibe

This was a quiet peaceful experience. The waterfall made you feel at peace. We always look for places that are different to stay at besides hotels and houses and we found that at Station 451. We have already told friends and family about this tucked away getaway. Can't wait to stay again.
