This was a super convenient and fun place to stay while my family visited the area for Day Out with Thomas. The caboose was comfortable, food at the restaurant was great, and we enjoyed the gift shop, petting zoo, and small train playground area.

We stay here every couple of years. The owners invest back into the property and are actively refreshing all the cabooses and farmhouse, inside and out. A great, unique place to stay for train lovers!
