I stayed in 3 different cabooses over 4 days. Each one had A/C, a microwave, a fridge & 2 TVs. There were no closets or dressers but there was a small table and two chairs. You park right outside of your caboose, so I only brought in what I needed, to be honest. You have to remember, cabooses are SMALL so don't go expecting a standard hotel room at the Marriott. The cabooses are old and rusty but some have been recently painted. I was out most of the day so I really only spent time in the caboose at the end of each day and then in the morning before heading out. I slept like a baby. The bathrooms were clean. Water temperature was great and I really had no issues. The gift shop, restaurant and property is very nice. I ate dinner in the restaurant one night, so that was fun, and the service and food was great. The petting zoo was a fun surprise. If you are into trains, this is the place to stay for sure. I don't think my wife would have been into it ... so I was secretly glad to be alone. Don't tell her ... haha. Because the property is very dark at night, I would string up small white lights from one caboose to another that ran all the way down. How pretty would that be?? It would light up the caboose area at night without blinding anyone. It rained a lot when I was there and it was hard to see the huge puddles of water at night because it was so dark.

Loved being in the heart of the Amish countryside. You would have to be a train enthusiast to thoroughly enjoy staying in an oddly arranged caboose that is need of a good remodel. There is no closet, no place for your luggage except on the floor and a teeny tiny bathroom.The employees were very kind and helpful.

It was. Dry basic but clean and comfortable. If you are looking for a posh, high end accommodation this is probably not for you. Very basic but the perfect “different” novel stay. Beds were comfortable. Just needed a bit of storage in the bathroom. The dining car was very accommodating and the food good.

Good stay. The caboose was actually very spacious with lots of places to stick suitcases. More hooks would be nice and a detachable shower head would also be nice. One of the beds was decently comfortable but the other was pretty bad. Would stay again.

This was the most unique motel in which I have ever stayed. It was an old caboose converted to a motel room. We were away from others, so there was no noise.
