Red Caboose Motel

We got what we came for, a night in a caboose, a real caboose. Granted it was only 1/2 of a caboose but it was a once in a lifetime thing. The room, though very small, was well appointed and the bathroom, again small, was clean and stocked. We parked right outside our doorstep and only had a short walk to the office/ restaurant. The attached restaurant had really good food. We ate there for dinner and breakfast.

The water pressure was very weak and that made doing anything in the bathroom a challenge. There were no night tables but maybe some small shelves or cubbies for personal belongings, i.e. glasses, cell phones, could be place near the bed. I had to place mine in the window sill. Another thing I didn't like, although it is not The Red Caboose's fault, is that after 5 p.m. there is nothing open to go and visit until 10 a.m. the next morning. I don't watch TV and the room is too small for anything else. More attractions with later hours would be nice. I'm not a great fan of watching the corn grow.

Good breakfast, cheerful, friendly service. Location could not have been more perfect for two lovers of trains , one of them my husband the model railroader. Close to everything with trains that we wanted to do, and excursion train runs right along the property so lots of photo ops. The "birthday boy" had a great weekend, and the granddaughter of a B&O conductor loved it too!

Weather could have been cooler!

It’s different in a good manner.

It’s for youngsters in age and spirit
