Absolutely loved our stay here and will be back!
They did an amazing job rennovating this caboose into a cozy get away. The location is incredible with the view of the mountains, passing trains, and wildlife. Everything was above and beyond our expectations. While the caboose puts you just far away from everything for a nice retreat but all the shops and restaurants in town were just a short drive away. My family had an awesome time staying here and we cant recommend it enough. We will definitely be back in the summer!

Fantastic stay
We had the most wonderful stay. Our children were so excited to stay inside a newly restored caboose. We treasured every moment of it and can't wait to return! Thanks again!

The definition of perfection
What an exceptional restoration of this caboose. Everything you can want/need is put into this build with love, sweat, and dedication. I can’t express how thankful I am to the owners for letting the public share this once in a lifetime experience. I have never stayed in a caboose until now. It has a full bathroom, shower, kitchen, dining table, sleeping for 4. The views are immaculate, the trains are awesome if you are a Railfan. And when all the doors and windows close you can’t really hear the horn if you want some shuteye. So that is a bonus. I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for something different, fun, adventurous, and not in a boring basic hotel. 5 stars.
