End Of The Line Caboose

Welcome to the End Of The Line Caboose! This fully remodeled 1917 Caboose is the perfect way to spend your Montana vacation, and you'll have the best of the Big Sky State right at your fingertips! This caboose sits on original railroad tracks near the Columbia Mountains, in the heart of the picturesque Flathead Valley. It is located at the end of our private road, surrounded by 3 acres of land. We are a quick 20 minutes to the west entrance of Glacier National Park, 25 minutes to Whitefish Mountain Resort, and about 25 minutes to the east shores of Flathead Lake.

Inside the caboose you’ll find a comfortable queen bed, a set of twin bunk beds, and a loveseat, if you need a sleeping place for a 5th person. We have a kitchenette, providing you with a couple of stove burners, a mini fridge, and a microwave. You’ll have k-cups for the keurig coffee maker and cream and sugar for your coffee/tea. You can enjoy the breathtaking view of the Columbia Mountains right on the back porch, and keep an eye out for deer and wild turkeys that are often wandering the yard!

You’ll have no shortage of places to see and things to do when you visit our beautiful corner of Montana. Feel free to ask for suggestions, or offer them after your stay. We love to hear about all the fun and adventure our guests have while staying with us!

This caboose was so cute and efficiently set up. We wanted something a little unique and this was the perfect choice. The bunkbeds were a little on the hard side for 65-year-old bones, but the full-size bed was quite comfy. It was an easy drive to Glacier National Park from here and there is a Starbucks in between the caboose and GNP, which was great.

Very nice and situated at the end of their property next to a horse pasture. Quiet but so conveniently located between Whitefish and GNP. Saw deer daily and it was so peaceful. Used the fire pit, grill, dishes, containers for packing up lunch for hikes, coffee maker and toaster. Perfect size for a few days or even a week. Look forward to returning - Holly and her family were so kind.

Unique getaway

We loved our stay here! All the attention to detail is perfect and they’ve managed to fit a kitchenette, loveseat, shower, toilet, bunk beds and queen bed all into this place super well! The outdoor connected patio is a bonus too. Easy access to Glacier National Park with plenty of things to see and do in the area.

Perfect getaway!

Such an amazing property. Wonderful, kind and informative hosts. We enjoyed our stay immensely and we're so thankful we booked. Convenient to Glacier and Columbia Falls - we loved the restaurants that were recommended. It was the perfect spot for our family (3 kids, 2 adults). Thank you for sharing the Caboose!

Charming Caboose

This converted caboose was perfect for our stay while visiting Glacier National Park. It’s very clean and had all the necessary amenities inside as well as a deck out back and a fire pit to enjoy the nice view of the mountains.

Great location, great accommodations, very quiet and peaceful as well as a magical place to stay for a magical snowshoe jaunt into GNP on Christmas day. A unique experience in a very well kept caboose. Great location and view towards West Glacier. The host was polite answered questions and returned messages promptly. I can't say enough about our experience at this location. We hope to return for another stay soon. Sincerely, TnT Tim & Terri

Caboose Stay

The Caboose is a really super sweet spot to stay if your planning on going to Glacier National Park. 15 miles from the west entrance, so very easy to get to. The host Dan and Amos (doggie) are very friendly. Amos loves to fetch and will show up with his ball at your door. We only had two minor issues. One, the directions need to be updated. And two, we like to cook our own meals, and unfortunately the Caboose doesn’t have the proper equipment, i.e., no grilling utensils, only one small frying pan, and no oven. However, I may have missed the no oven prior to booking. All in all, it’s a fantastic place, location was perfect. We just prefer to cook our meals. Thanks Dan and Holly

Great Stay In The Caboose

We had a wonderful time staying in The Caboose. Lots of character and detail. The old train car chair in the lofted area was a favorite. Very clean and everything we needed was provided. Communication with the host was great and check-in was very easy. Convenient access to downtown Columbia Falls and west entrance to Glacier National Park. We were really looking forward to staying in the caboose and it did not disappoint.

The caboose is absolutely adorable and so unique. It was stocked with almost anything you may need for the kitchen and bathroom, minus food and personal items. We were greeted by Dan and his playful pup when we arrived, and they were both extremely pleasant. We didn't have the opportunity to meet Holly, but she was very attentive to any email correspondence and questions we had. She sent us a Google location map link that took us directly to the End of the Line Caboose. This place in tucked away in a beautiful spot with a beautiful view. I had early morning coffee on the patio deck and was able to watch deer graze and play in the field across the way. There are also horses in that same field. It was a very peaceful environment, and we really enjoyed the quiet time spent at the caboose when we there and not out walking trails and exploring the area. My husband and I would both highly recommend this place to family and friends!

Wow, what an awesome place! Staying at the caboose added a great element to our Glacier trip. We loved sitting on the deck watching the horses at sunset. We ate dinner on the deck every night after a long day of hiking. This place is super clean and so fun. Highly recommended.
