About this property

1926 C&O Guest Caboose -new listing!

This caboose is a work of love and every bit is used so that it will be comfortable, fun and efficient. It is perfect for a couple or small family. The interior has been refurbished with western red cedar walls, cherry floors, and the original curved wood ceiling. Throughout the caboose are railroad memorabilia including signal lanterns, pictures of cabooses in action, marker lights and information about the history of cabooses. The bedroom has a double captains bed, custom made by Ohio Amish craftsmen with a memory foam mattress and drawers underneath. The bath has a shower with on demand hot water. In the front galley area there is a "daybed" and TV, as well as a small kitchen area. In the hallway is a ladder leading to the cupola, where small children can sleep on mats and sleeping bags.​ Outside there is a large brick patio with curved rock wall for outside activities. Here you will find a Fire pit for cool evenings, perfect for cooking hot dogs or toasting marshmallows on the patio. There is a gas grill for cookouts and picnic table for meals.

Great Special Getaway

My family loved their special time at the caboose. We enjoyed the fire pit in the evening and loved that they got to sleep in an actual caboose. The caboose was stocked with everything we needed for our short stay.

Unique and fun experience

Our family of 2 kids and a teen had a fantastic time enjoying this adorable caboose home. While it was cozy, it had everything we needed to enjoy time together. Thank you!

unique getaway!

It was as described! We knew it would be 'tight quarters'---and we were right! Very efficient use of space; all appliances worked well---except no toaster!!--very minor detail. Loved the outdoor seating and fireplace. Also the photos and books about Chessie, this specific caboose added to the charm and uniqueness. Impressive

Caboose Review

It was quaint and nice. Got to get use to how small was for our family but we expect it somewhat and it was really cute. Had trouble with the hot water tank first night and they quickly fixed that the 2nd day. Loved our stay.

Lovely caboose

We loved staying at the caboose. The weather wasn’t the best so it made using the outside patio and fire pit hard but we did get to enjoy eating outside Friday night for half our meal. The only thing I would suggest is to look at the gas grill, I think there’s a bee hive near the switch to turn the gas on and the grill top could use some cleaning. It did not deter us from having an absolutely fantastic weekend in such a unique and comfortable setting. We will definitely select this again our next trip down to the area.

Horrible experience for my family

The booking process was easy, but that’s where the good news ends. I drove my wife and 4 year old son 9 hours to this rental. Nine hours. If you have small children, you know this can be a huge task in itself. Once we arrived at the property, I left my family in the car so I could check the caboose and make sure it was safe. First thing I noticed was how messy and dirty the patio was. Fine, it’s outdoors and things get dirty. As soon as I opened the door, I knew I had been scammed. Immediately stepping on dead bugs, extremely hot and stuffy with no air on or any ventilation. I took a moment to walk through the entire caboose, and it was very upsetting. I knew my son was outside, bursting with excitement about staying in a caboose. I followed the trail of dirt and dead bugs from the front door to the back of the caboose where the main bed is. Live bugs crawling on the windows, floors and furniture covered in dead bugs. Dirt and hair all over the pillows on the bed, strange fluid in the sink that resembled blood or some kind of spit. Filthy trash can in the kitchen, the list goes on. I immediately left and contacted Vrbo for help, but I am STILL waiting on their so called care team to contact me. I was then left scrambling for a place to sleep with my family. We were in town for my daughter’s college graduation, so everything was booked or extremely expensive. If you are thinking about renting this place, please be aware of all this. It’s a huge rip off.
