A Very Nice Experience!

Our caboose provided clean and comfortable accommodations. The beds were supportive and comforting. Also, plenty of towels and toiletries helped to make our stay pleasant. Parking right outside our door was perfect and safe, and the location provided wonderful peace and quiet. A great place for family stays, and overall, a very nice experience!

A cute, unique must-do experience!

Such a cute and unique experience! I highly recommend staying here especially families with children. There's a few animals on the property you can take a look at and feeding machine to dispense food. The inside it's cute but tight. We had a large family caboose but only 4 people and thought it was the perfect amount of room. I can't imagine another 2 people in it. I only gave 4 stars because the beds were extremely uncomfortable. The mattresses were very very firm to the point where we had to buy a mattress topper for the second night. My husband who likes firm mattresses didn't even like it. Other than the mattresses, everything was great! Service was great! Everyone was very nice and they even called to make sure we got settled in. We had breakfast at the Casey Jones restaurant and it was good. Typically breakfast foods, nothing special but service was great. We will definitely be back and will be bringing out mattress topper next time!

This place is SO CUTE! Very charming and unexpected! We had to travel to the area for a wedding and found this place for the night before. After a very long and rainy drive from Michigan we were so excited when we arrived! The ONLY criticism I would give is the mini split AC in the bunk room had a very bright light on it and wouldn’t turn off, so we didn’t sleep much. But the charm, unique design, yummy restaurant, and gift shop made up for it. Wish we could’ve stayed longer!

This was our second time staying at The Red Caboose and we just love it. Its beautifully maintained, family friendly, and allows us time to "turn off". It is in a prime location making it easy to get anywhere in and around Lancaster. Last year we stayed in the Mail Car and this year we stayed in the Large Family Suite. It was a great option for us as we have a 14 year old and a 2 year old. It gave us all the space we needed and we LOVED the porch. Because of the Red Caboose, we made our original Lancaster trip an annual occurrence.
