Upper Moose Caboose
The "Moose Caboose" is a fully renovated 54’ Pullman Rail Car complete with a full kitchen, full bath, and private bedroom with a large picture window, as well as a separate lower-level unit that can be rented together or separately. The living room features a fireplace, satellite TV, internet, and a 30’ deck with patio furniture and a gas grill, perfect for entertaining or just relaxing and enjoying the panorama views.
The lower level of the Moose Caboose boasts additional living space with a bedroom, full kitchen, dinette, full bath, living room, satellite TV, washer and dryer, and deck with furniture and BBQ grill. Perfect for large families or two couples desiring their own privacy.
Each level of the Moose Caboose has one bathroom, a queen bed, and a queen sleeper sofa. The interiors feature cozy Alaska décor and limited edition Alaska Railroad prints. The cabinets are well stocked with dishes, pots and pans, and cooking utensils. In other words, all the comforts and home!
The "Moose Caboose" was built by the Pullman Company in Chicago in 1944 as a rail car in which to house and move troops during WW II. Alaska Adventure Cabins began the conversion to a luxury cabin in the summer of 2002. The conversion was completed in the winter of 2002.
The conversion included the complete sandblasting and repainting of the exterior which was painted to match the Alaskan Railroad colors of blue and yellow. Large picture windows and a large deck were installed on the ocean view side. From the private deck, you can see glaciers, volcanoes, Kachemak Bay and the Homer Spit. A large greenhouse is located outside where flowers and plants are grown in the spring and summer to beautify the Alaska Adventure Cabins.

Wonderful rental and the view over the water is the best to be found in town. The deck is perfect for sunny days and on a rainy day the cozy interior provides all the comfort you could as for. Close to town but just far enough to feel secluded, the moose are the neighbors you’ll see most often!
