Great spot but not for small dogs
We loved the spot, its very unique.
Our poor oittle dog struggled through. Grates make up the deck and steps and her paws were so small she couldnt walk on it. Bigger dogs with shoes would be fine i think.
Some thoughts on improvements:
A small refrigerator and/or ice maker.
Utensils for the grill
Outdoor electrical outlet on patio
Outdoor chair missing cushion
Back door is not fully closed
Shades/blackouts on eastward facing upper windows
Thanks you guys, it was amazing!

The best train caboose/ glamping / tiny home experience I have ever had.
When you’ve past the amazing views just to get to this place and Once you enter the place you can just feel the love that the property owner has put in to this place. Along with the other amazing houses such as a tree house , tiny home , etc you just know you are in for an authentic experience. The steel steps and the rails the kaboose stands on gives the frame alone a wow effect ! Then you walk into the place and the pictures on here do not do it justice. Such amazing
Detail and care went into this place . The bed was the most comfortable bed we stayed on ever for a trip . You are 15 minutes away from Pikes Peak and other amazing dining locations. When we checked out we ran into the owner who gave us an even further explanation of his vision and how he came to the idea of this place . What we’ve shared with everyone we’ve talked to
How he got the Kaboose which we still laugh at was “ never shop on eBay at 3am “ 😂 Bridger I’m sure there are many such as myself that are thankful you were on eBay at that time .
