What a fun place to stay, especially with children. I went spur of the moment with my 10 year old girl; she loved the charm of the space and the bunkbeds. I loved the service and novelty of the neat space. We will be back soon with our whole family.

What an assume little “motel, not really a motel like others around though as their rooms are redone cabooses. It’s absolutely awesome sleeping in a very clean and cute, authentic caboose. Adorable, clean, and so much fun. You can also watch the Strasburg train pass right from your front door. The restaurant, Casey Jones, is very convenient, the food is good and the staff are all amazing. We’re already making plans to come back with our granddaughter.
