This was a great place to go and get away from the computers and normal day hustle and bustle of life, and spend quality time with the wife. Would definitely stay here again.

We loved our stay! We were here in single digit weather and still had a blast. We enjoyed the complimentary wine, cozy hot tub, and nearby hiking. The snow was magical. We'd love to come back again to experience the caboose in warmer weather. Thanks for a great stay!

We had a wonderful stay over Christmas. Lights were strung up and the path to the hottub cleared of snow. Totally idyllic. The futon is very firm, but otherwise our stay was perfect.

Loved the uniqueness and relaxing seclusion this property offers. Our host John provided exceptional and extra amenities, could be easily reached if anything was needed and communicated a warm welcome. Would be beautiful in all seasons as surrounded by private woods.

This was our second time visiting the caboose, and it won't be our last! The host is very responsive and kind, and we really appreciated the welcome note and goodies. The caboose itself is a dream, especially surrounded by snow. We loved spending our day hiking and our night cozy in the caboose. Our pups loved it, too!If you're looking for a hike and scenic drive, I highly recommend Wyalusing State Park. We saw 7 Bald Eagles on the drive from Wyalusing back to the caboose!

From the hot tub to the thick fluffy towels as well as the fireplace to the heated bathroom. Everything was perfect.The scenery was absolutely beautiful and seeing various wildlife made it even more special. Will definitely be returning for another stay! Thank you!!

Quit and remote location. It was nice soaking in hot tub.
We would highly recommend this property to any couple with a pet! Theres a perfect amount of space to move around, it’s very clean, and John has all you need to survive. The quiet is welcome to relax. There are many hiking trails nearby with great views of the Mississippi river. This is a must visit place!

I booked this as a surprise getaway for my Husbands birthday. Don't be fooled at the size of this caboose, my husband is 6"4' 220lbs and fit! we stayed two wonderful evenings. Watched some football, played some board games, had a fire and enjoyed the outdoor hot tub. We would come back again.
