Such a cute place! We really enjoyed our stay. The WiFi is very very spotty. Be sure to screenshot the check-in directions from the link before you arrive. And take advantage when you do get WiFi to look up directions to anywhere you wanna go before hand.

Caboose stay

Our stay at the caboose was quiet and relaxing. We enjoyed it. Pretty much everything we needed was provided there. The hot tub was amazing and very clean. It was definitely a neat experience. Would highly recommend the caboose as a great get away stay.

Spectacular stay and location!

Was an extra special weekend! The Caboose was very well equipped and maintained. The privacy on the lot was really nice. Came down to do some hiking around HH State Park and the drive from the place was great. Capped the weekend stay off with a proposal! Very happy with the choice to stay here!

Cute Caboose

The check in process was a little clunky, but the owner was very responsive and helped facilitate. It is a small space, but I enjoyed the caboose very much.

The caboose was an awesome place. I’d stay again. I will give one bit of advice, screenshot the code to get in the door. I forgot and had no service. Had to drive twenty minutes one way to gain service. Excellent stay!

What an adorable stay. The Caboose was very clean, and had everything we needed and then some. Cute and comfortable. The bed is firm but comfortable! The sheets were soft, the comforter was nice, and I used an extra fuzzy blanket, it got pretty chilly last night. They had extra towels and nice soaps etc. The hot tub was great!! Easy check in and check out. The host answered my questions promptly!!! Great experience!! Thank you 😊

This was the perfect little couples get away. My husband and I took this trip to ride our motorcycles around Hocking Hills. We packed the bare minimum so it was great that they had everything there you could need. The location was perfect and close to everything we wanted to see. The train was so unique and well decorated. The hot tub was perfect! We enjoyed our stay so much. Only one thing that I would recommend is placing a blind or curtain in the bathroom window. I understand not covering the front or back windows to keep the unique look of the caboose and it was perfect. Nothing major of course and didnt take anything away from our wonderful stay. I highly recommend!
