My wife and I are absolutely blown away with the Caboose. Driving up to see this beautifully restored caboose was just the beginning! It is a wonderfully thoughtful layout that feels comfortable yet adventurous, a discovery and yet just like home. We cannot say enough wonderful things about our time on The Caboose Roost.

We stayed in the caboose for Father's Day weekend and had an amazing experience! The caboose was spotless, beautifully decorated, and full of charm. It was such a unique and memorable place to stay. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a one-of-a-kind getaway!

Ms. Tina was a wonderful host! She responded very quickly with any questions I had. I can't say enough about the caboose. It was perfect. It was very well decorated, spotless and very clean (that means a lot to me). The coffee and muffins were a nice surprise. Will definitely stay there again!!!
Tracy
We absolutely adored our magical stay at the H&R Caboose Roost this past weekend! The caboose is perfect in every way! The attention to detail and thoughtfulness was clear during every moment of our stay. We will definitely return for a longer stay in the near future.
