Such an enjoyable stay at this unique and quaint VRBO. The caboose was spotless and well stocked with anything one could need. Loved the fireplace and hot tub! John was most accommodating - keeping us informed of upcoming snowstorm before our reservation and offering to extend our stay or reschedule at the last minute.

My wife and I enjoyed every bit of our 2-night stay in John's caboose. It is so unique! The space is well thought out and cozy. John provided unexpected amenities, such as wine, huge towels for hot tub use and a special gift to utilize at a local establishment. We made use of the fire pit and hot tub. When we told my daughter about our stay she told us that she is familiar with the caboose as two friends of hers stayed there recently...word is spreading!

What a Amazing stay! So relaxing. My bird phone app picked up so many different kinds of birds around there. The hot tub was nice. The host left us some wine and a gift card which was so nice. This caboose had so many extras. Loved reading the guest book with a glass of wine. So many people stayed and returned again and thats just what we want to do. It was me and my husbands 18th wedding anniversary . Will definitely be back.
