The C&O Caboose at Cantrell Station, Minutes to Fayetteville!

Located just outside of Fayetteville along Gatewood Road, the C&O caboose is a completely renovated steel caboose. The train car has been thoughtfully converted to a tiny house and is located right next to Cantrell Rafting. The caboose has one bedroom with a full size bed, a loft area accessed by a ladder with a twin mattress and a futon in the living room. This cute rental is located across the street from the Top of The Hill cabin, next door to the New York Central Caboose at Cantrell Station, and Cantrell Ultimate Rafting.

The C&O Caboose features a large patio, a covered patio with picnic tables, an outdoor fire ring, and a charcoal grill. The building is used for storage at this time.

If you have a larger group and are interested in renting both of our cabooses please contact us for a discount rate.

Nice stay

Caboose was clean & a nice place to stay for a couple nights while visiting the New River Gorge. Would recommend to others staying in the area with 1 or 2 young children especially if you plan to go white water rafting with Cantrell Ultimate Rafting. They are right next door.

Check In was a breeze. Location is ideal. My 4 y/o loved staying inside of a “choo choo”. The caboose was clean and the oversized Connect 4 game was a great pass time for the kids. The only reason I didn’t give an overall 5 stars is because the master bed and the couch were very uncomfortable. Other than that, we enjoyed it immensley.

Great location, close to Fayetteville and the bridge. Key code door lock made check in a breeze, and no extra key to carry or lose. Super clean, nice patio area with chairs, picnic tables, grill, and fire pit. "Our House" restaurant and pub right next door, owned by the same folks, and within stumbling distance ;). Live music on the weekends may not be everyone's cup of tea, still pretty loud, even inside the accommodations.

Perfect little spot

Our little family was looking for a unique experience while traveling to National Parks. This place was the perfect little retreat. Its just off the beaten path, but also close to anything and everything you could need or want to explore. The host was always quick to respond and gave us a ton of things to check out with our tiny adventurer. We had a wonderful experience and it was just what we were looking for.

Adorable Caboose

We loved staying for a short stay as a family of 4. Lots of little extras like outdoor jenga for teens to have fun with. Only area for improvement is a better pull out coach for sleeping a 4th person but perfect for 2 adults and 1 kid. Definitely a fun experience.

We can’t wait to come back to the caboose! It was absolutely perfect for our weekend rafting get away. Easy to find, clean, and in the perfect location. Host was super helpful with food and hiking suggestions and Cantrell Rafting took us on what might be our favorite trip to date. Perfection!

Unique and very clean

The caboose was right next to Cantrell rafting which was great we were able to walk over for our rafting trip. There was a really good discount coupon for the sxs rides at Midland outdoor Adventure and Audie was absolutely fabulous ! The caboose was very clean and the owner was the best!

Perfectly appointed caboose!

My son and I loved the C & O caboose for our 2 night stay to break up our trek up north. It was comfortable and perfect for seeing the New River Gorge Bridge and whitewater rafting. The bed was comfortable and the kitchenette had everything we needed during our stay. The shower was surprisingly large. While we didn’t have a chance to make use of the outside space, it will be nice to have the fire pit and sitting areas & cornhole boards for future visits. Accessing the caboose was simple and easy.

Really special place to stay in a great area!

My 14-year-old son and I very much enjoyed our stay in the Caboose! This was our third trip to Fayetteville, and staying in the Caboose made it extra-special. The loft was his “room,” while I enjoyed the room with the double bed. Everything was very clean, and we appreciated all of the amenities. The kitchenette was fully stocked with a small fridge, microwave, sink, dishes/silverware, and keurig coffee maker. The smart tv was exactly what my teen was looking for, and the outdoor space was great! It’s minutes from the best that Fayetteville has to offer. We didn’t go rafting on this trip, but Cantrell’s is literally in your backyard, if you stay here. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Great gateway for a toddler

This is just what you expect from the photos. Fits a family of 3. Location is close to everything in the area. Cute decor and almost everything you can ever need when staying away from home. Great communication with John, the host. Futon not the most comfortable to sleep on. Hard to figure out what to keep the temp on before it gets too hot or cool with the place being so small.

Late season stay for mom and son

The caboose is undersold by its current pics and description. The in unit heaters were ample to keep us cozy with the chilly nights, And ample blankets and fire pit tools were on hand, which made our campfire super easy to enjoy. Shower is good pressure and smartly designed to maximize space. Smart TV with many streaming apps to use (some already signed in, e.g., Tubi with ads).Coffee K cups provided but machine also has standard filter for brewing large pots. Couch i) s a futon convertible if needed. Cupola/loft is more of a one person (my son is age 10) space, but all the kids will certainly fight to stay up there ;) We were 5-10 min drive from every trail/site/restaurant we wanted. Didn't get a chance to use the Cantrell kitchen/bar on the weekend since off season, but it was just in your backyard.

Awesome Caboose tiny home

The C&O caboose was a great space for our family getaway! The weather was beautiful so we spent a lot of time outside. I enjoyed watching lightning bugs and deer from beside the fire pit and we ate most of our meals outside on the patio. My 6 year old LOVED the loft because it was "his" space in the train. It is located 5 minutes from town and also convenient to all sorts of hiking and climbing locations. We recommend Pies & Pints, Freefolk Brewery and The Handle Bar for food/drinks and Cathedral Falls, Endless Wall trail and Fayette Station River Access for exploring.
