Historic, Completely Restored 1929 Caboose in Beautiful North Georgia Mountains

NEW VIDEO TOUR ADDED! For best quality, chick on Watch on YouTube. Even though listing details are provided, questions I've been asked. YES, the caboose has a fully functional, tricked out bathroom, in the silo adjacent to it (see photos and reviews). YES, the caboose has Air Conditioning & Heat in caboose and bathroom. YES, there is Hot Water in the bathroom. YES, there's an HD LCD television with Sound Bar, and with full DirectTV line-up of channels, along with Netflix and other streaming services. YES, high-speed (40mbs) WiFi is provided. In other business - No more than 2 adults, TWO NIGHT MINIMUM, no children, no pets, NO smoking, NON-smokers only please, and no discounts ever given. ---- Now the GOOD stuff: Located just one mile from fabulous Lake Burton, our 1929 vintage C&O caboose has undergone a top-to-bottom restoration and upgrade, with shades of the luxury Pullman cars of yesteryear. No detail was ignored to allow for a truly unique getaway experience. (Figure of speech. The caboose does not actually go anywhere) Though located adjacent to our also-historic general store-turned antique store, Black Bear Creek Antiques, you will have lots of privacy and space to call your own; private entrance, dedicated parking, waterfall and mountain spring creek just 20 feet away, and easy access to great restaurants (Five of the Top 10 Chefs in GA have restaurants within 10 miles of here) and shopping in nearby Clayton, and all the natural wonders the area has to offer.

Unique Experience
We really enjoyed our stay in the historic caboose. Although small, we had all we needed for a comfortable stay. Jim has thought of everything you need. The separate bathroom was cute and very functional, as well as only a few steps from the back door. If you are looking for an unique experience, this is a must stay!

Unique and Fun
Everything about our weekend was great. Jim was very helpful and put a lot of thought into every aspect of the caboose. We took advantage of almost every amenity provided. Even though it was almost freezing outside, it was very warm in the caboose, and the restroom came with a heater as well. Our favorite part was the breakfast nook. It takes some dexterity to get up there, but the view was beautiful. This is the perfect place for a couple to comfortably enjoy the mountains of North Georgia.

Wonderful stay!
Absolutely wonderful stay in this historic caboose! We selected this property for the local scenery and ended up more than delighted with the accommodations. Jim, our host, has seen to every detail and takes great pride in keeping this unique location in pristine condition. He has attended to every detail which made our stay very comfortable. Highly recommended!

As cozy as it gets!!!
Can't say enough about the caboose and Jim! The Caboose was such a great experience. It's beyond cozy and accommodating. I'm not a train enthusiast, but was blown away by all the cool memorabilia that was in it. Main Street is only a 5min drive away. Jim is the best. Great host!! Make sure to check out his shop next door.

Awesome
We really enjoyed staying in the caboose. Jim was an awesome host. The place was very clean and very unique. It was definitely an experience. You can learn a lot of stuff by just walking in to the place and looking at all the unique stuff on the walls, Jim was very knowledgeable of a lot of things as well and it was awesome Howell they turned a silo into the bathroom. Anything you would need Jim would go out of his way for you. Definitely something everyone should try

Incredible stay and wonderful host
My husband loves trains so I had to bring him here for our 30th anniversary. Jim was the most amazing host and made sure our stay was a special and memorable one. The attention to detail is remarkable. The entire place was immaculate. I was pleasantly surprised to find a microwave and refrigerator provided. The location is great and we so enjoyed shopping in the antique store on the property. We purchased some special items to remember our stay. This was such a fun experience and we look forward to returning in the future. I cannot recommend this beautiful place and host more.
