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.

I was disappointed at the appearance of the inside of the caboose that we were assigned to. It was run down and didnt look anything like the pictures on the website. The door closed and locked but there was an opening at the bottom of the door that mice could easily come in. There was a tv by one bed, but could not be seen from the other bed. Would have liked a small table and chair to use to play board games, rather than the bed. Also, no blackout drapes. Cute train curtains, but the 6am sun shone completely through the curtains. Not too confindent we'd stay again. If we are in the area, we mistlike would stop and eat at the restaurant. The food was good and the service was fantastic
