Caboose it!

We felt right at home the minute we walked thru the door! Its the most unique place we have ever stayed. The caboose had so many of the original feature. The Innkeepers are readily available and very kind.The outside fire pit area was enjoyed nightly.

Charming concept really worked

Staying in a caboose was memorable for my boys. They thought it was very cool. Fit for purpose, IMO, aside from potential to fall out of top bunks. This is a cabin near train tracks and not a luxury getaway in the Berkshires - it's a little far from things.
