Hotel Description
All aboard! Hop on a caboose car at the Red Caboose Motel for a fun and unique overnight stay. All 38 cabooses (19 of which were once part of the Pennsylvania Railroad) are decorated in the paint schemes of America's most famous railroads. The rooms are divided into 11 general floor plans, each catered to the number of guests for the evening. There's also a baggage car, mail car and a home away from home called the Shady Rest Hotel Farmhouse Efficiency Suite. And the best part is, you never have to leave the property -- it has everything you could possibly need on site. Explore Amish life on an Amish buggy ride, play games at the arcade, pet animals at the zoo. There's also a restaurant on-site, Casey Jones' Restaurant, and for a late-night snack, guests can stop by the take-out ice cream parlor, Janie Jones'.

Good enough for a short...

Liked: The bed was very comfy and it was quiet at night. It was great to have a larger fridge with a big freezer compartment. Most of the staff at the front desk were very nice and accommodating. It's next to an Amish Farm so it was fun to see them outside plowing the field and the animals on site were cute. It is right next to an actual working train station, but it wasn't loud but kind of fun to see.
Disliked: The photos must be older as the room didn't really look like the photos I saw online. There weren't many electrical outlets at all so they jury rigged a lot of plugs with extension cords, etc. which didn't look very safe at all and made me nervous during our stay. The steps to get into the train car were pretty worn and somewhat uneven so that could be hard for some folks to use. There was a separate thermostat for the bathroom that wasn't turned on so when I went to take a shower after our first night stay, it was FREEZING until I figured it out and turned it on to heat the room. The lamp in the main bedroom was about to fall apart so was scared to touch it.

The train ride and the...

Liked: It was something my dad wanted to do and I made it happen. He came across this property 15 years ago and told me about it last year he is almost 80 and I’ve been trying to do an annual trip every year so I looked up sleeping in a caboose and found this place it does book quickly so I had to wait a year. We did so many things due to the location we were close to so much to do. Wonderful experience and memories with my dad.
Disliked: We are early risers although there was coffee in the room waiting to go to the restaurant at 7:30 was the only negative.

Superb

Liked: This was such a fun place to stay! Staff was very friendly and the caboose was comfortable for 2 people, might have been a little tight with too many more people.
