We had a magical winter wonderland weekend at the Caboose! Our train loving 5 yr old was so excited about staying in a train. Really beautiful spot out in western valleys of WI, almost feels like being in the mountains. Was very peaceful and relaxing to watch the snow fall from the hot tub. If you love coffee, would recommend bringing your own reusable K-cup or French press as the caboose only has a small keurig machine. Also, the beds are a bit worn down, can feel coils in the futon mattress and lower bunk bed. Would recommend bringing a mat or topper if you desire more comfort. Overall 10/10, will be back!

Check in/out instructions were clear and easy. Property was great, very secluded. The unit as a whole was comfortable and clean, with everything we could need provided for us. Only downside was the ladybugs swarming everywhere. Took us an hour after checking in to get rid of them all.

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!
