Where the Stay
Becomes the Experience

Just 90 minutes from St. Louis in Fredericktown, Missouri, you can stay in a beautifully restored 1958 train caboose that is more than a place to sleep—it’s a destination experience all its own, blending authentic railroad history with modern comfort. You’ll also be within easy reach of Elephant Rocks State Park and some of Southeast Missouri’s most scenic parks, trails, and outdoor adventures.

Inside, discover a cozy living space, one-of-a-kind Conductor's Loft, and authentic railroad artifacts that give the caboose the feel of a miniature museum.
