"This property is a fun, unique experience! Highly recommend it!"

9.0

Such an interesting and fun experience spending a night in a train car! Plus, we had a meal in a train dining car! The hotel lobby was part of the gift shop and dining area and the receptionist was in uniform giving one another taste of being on a train. Very friendly staff. Our "room" (that is, train car) had comfortable beds, a large and well equipped (with shower AND a Jacuzzi bathtub), small refrigerator, microwave, TV, small table and 2 chairs. It was clean, quiet and functional. We could park our car right at our "room." The dining area was a short walk away and the food was very good. They had walking areas, petting animals, a toy train museum and offered buggy rides and Amish village tour. A large full size train museum was only a little drive away. It was a fun experience, great for kids. They had a handicapped accessible "room" as well for those needing it.

We did not have anything to complain about.

"Would love to stay again but in a different caboose."

9.0

My daughter and I stayed at Red Caboose previously and we wanted my grandson to have the experience. We stayed because of the unique experience.

The only misstep on our part was my daughter and I thought we could manage sleeping on the bunk beds. The lower bunks were too small for an adult to sleep comfortably.

"Grandkids fun overnight trip"

9.0

Its so adorable! Took my grandkids 6,5,3,6months . They loved it!

Got a little cold in the middle of the night could not turn the thermostat up. We did but it dont get any warmer then 70. They have it set. Had to plug in the electric heater and I dont like that. ( thats not very safe couldn't sleep with that plugged in just felt unsafe)
