Excellent property. Everything was very nice & comfy. The firepit was great - wood already stacked for us. Hot tub was extremely clean & very relaxing. The deck was very nice in the mornings to listen to the birds - squirrels were very chatty. Inside the caboose was wonderful. Was able to use the wood stove - it warmed the room nicely. Loved the train deco. My husband was very jealous... and now wants a caboose in the backyard! Local restaurants were very good. The backroads were fun to explore. The host was wonderful - communication was very easy. Would definitely recommend a stay here... we will definitely be back!

This is a great getaway!!! John is a great host. The caboose is just the way it is described. It rained most of the time we were there, so we were unable to take advantage of the grill and firepit, but we still enjoyed the birds singing and the quietness. There are many things to see/do in the area and we had a fun time.

Girls Trip

My daughter and I have been finding unusual places for a quick girls getaway and this place did not disappoint. Check in was so easy and we received a code to enter. Check out was easy with a checklist to complete. Great communication with owner. We were able to bring out small old dog with once we paid a small extra fee, 40. The place was a perfect time to spend time together and make memories. I'd definitely recommend!

My best friend and I stayed in this cabin for a fun get together. We would highly recommend it! The hot tub was a plus and the area was very lush and well maintained. Our dogs also enjoyed their time getting to explore the area and having so much room in the yard. Thanks for a great stay!

Caboose

We had a wonderful stay at the caboose. The hot tub was wonderful after long days of hiking and being on the road. The host was very attentive and resposive. The only feedback for this property was the sleeping arrangement. The futon was rather uncomfortable and we both ended up sleeping in the bunkbeds the second night which killed the romantic vibbit.

Amazing Reset

I booked this trip for my boyfriend who is obsessed with trains. This was a great surprise for him and came at the perfect time after a stressful weekend. It was such a great get away and a good reset before jumping back to reality. There were some concerning areas with hair left in the shower, a brown sludge/ residue in the hot tub, and overall dirt/ dust build up in the caboose. We definitely will be back!

Caboose adventure

Very nice well appointed and secluded get-away. Cozy cast iron stove took the spring chill off. It is well located for my adventure visiting a number of the state parks in SW Wisconsin.
