The caboose we stayed in did not look like the pictures. It was run down. It was older and smelled musty, spider webs in the bunk room and ceiling, There was a spider in my bed and a few bugs around so the kids wouldn’t sleep. It’s summer on a farm so it wouldn’t be a big deal if you are a camper. The windows had dead bugs and dirt around them. I spent a lot to stay there and maybe they should let visitors know they may get an old one.

Listen, and I don’t wanna tear the place apart. If you’re really into trains, this might be the experience of a lifetime. I stayed there for work because it was inexpensive. I like staying in places that are different. But I would not stay here again. The sheets and linens were clean I guess. The carpet was not. The walls were not. The ceiling in the bathroom was not. Also, my train car was crooked so the whole time I thought I was going to roll out of the bed. It was literally crooked to the point where the toilet seat would not stay up by itself without holding it. The staff, however, were extremely friendly and very gracious.

We stayed here for our daughter’s softball tournament. The caboose car rooms were a unique experience. The staff was friendly and knowledgable about the property and surrounding area. There was a restaurant. Horse/Buggy ride and animals to pet/feed on the property. The Strasburg Train Museum and train ride were conveniently close. The borough of Strasburg is quaint with beer/food options. We would recommend staying here for your Lancaster County stays!

I stayed in the farmhouse & it was gorgeous! Designed to be a bridal suite during wedding season, it had lots of mirrors, great lighting and two very comfortable Murphy beds. Shower was new with rain forest head. Cannot say enough good things about property & staff.
Think of bridesnaids getting ready here! Outlets galore!
