Guest Reviews

The caboose exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived, with the railroad crossing lighting up as we drove through to the evening under the stars by the adorable fire pit area, everything was just perfect. Tina quite literally didn't forget one detail. We had everything we needed and more, and by more I mean she had a sound machine by the bed, phone charges, fresh muffins in the perfectly put together tiny kitchen, and there were even bath robes. We loved that it even had a nice yard area, where our kids ran and played chase while my husband and I sat around the fire of the evening. We will definitely be visiting again !

This place was amazing. The kids absolutely loved it and so did we. Tina was a great host and communicated well. This is one of the coolest Airbnb’s we have stayed at. Highly recommend for anyone looking to share a unique experience.

This place is fantastic! I love it! It is so very cute, you have done an amazing job of thinking of everything. What a great place to spend my birthday. Looking forward to returning. You are an amazing hostess with such a wonderful venue that supplies such a wonderful experience! Thanks again and best of luck!

Wow! What a wonderful place you've created! The kids absolutely loved the caboose. I loved all the details and thoughtfulness you included. Our stay was too short for sure!! Congrats on creating something truly special.

We’ve stayed at a number of Airbnbs and cleanliness is important to us, and this place was exceptionally clean! We came with our kids and they loved it. Such a neat experience for them. It was nice having a good amount of space to play outside away from the road as well. We hadn’t stayed in Fredericktown before, but there are quite a few restaurants and a nice coffee shop to check out. Tina was a great host. We enjoyed our stay and will have to come back again!

We had such a special stay at the Caboose! Ours was last minute booking and Tina was only too happy to accommodate us. With only two hours from booking to our arrival, she had made sure the spot was ready for us; Christmas lights were twinkling, the space was spotless, and there was delicious muffins waiting for us. She has honestly thought of everything and I was impressed with how much convenience she had tucked into every corner. She also had everything we needed to start a fire and spend a couple hours staring up at the stars. The caboose was a short drive to restaurants (we had a nice dinner at Lalos and coffee in the morning at The Station) and was only 30 minutes away from Elephant Rocks State Park. The care and attention Tina put so obviously put into the caboose's renovation is the same care and attention she doles out on her guests. It's absolutely worth the visit and I would 100% stay again.
