This was our second time staying at The Red Caboose and we just love it. Its beautifully maintained, family friendly, and allows us time to "turn off". It is in a prime location making it easy to get anywhere in and around Lancaster. Last year we stayed in the Mail Car and this year we stayed in the Large Family Suite. It was a great option for us as we have a 14 year old and a 2 year old. It gave us all the space we needed and we LOVED the porch. Because of the Red Caboose, we made our original Lancaster trip an annual occurrence.

Suggestion: bring your own towels and pillows. The towels are hard as a rock, pillows are flat. Everything was clean besides attention to detail. The Murphy bed clearly wasn’t cleaned for multiple uses. Some cobwebs in the corners and dust on the walls.

If you want to stay in a memorable location, look no further than the Red Caboose Motel. The rooms are clean and offer many amenities on the property. They even have a petting zoo and offer buggy rides (for a fee). The restaurant served excellent food. Overall, this is an excellent place to stay and to watch the Strasburg Rail Road trail travel by several times a day. I would highly recommend staying here.
