End Of The Line Caboose

Welcome to the End Of The Line Caboose! This fully remodeled 1917 Caboose is the perfect way to spend your Montana vacation, and you'll have the best of the Big Sky State right at your fingertips! This caboose sits on original railroad tracks near the Columbia Mountains, in the heart of the picturesque Flathead Valley. It is located at the end of our private road, surrounded by 3 acres of land. We are a quick 20 minutes to the west entrance of Glacier National Park, 25 minutes to Whitefish Mountain Resort, and about 25 minutes to the east shores of Flathead Lake.

Inside the caboose you’ll find a comfortable queen bed, a set of twin bunk beds, and a loveseat, if you need a sleeping place for a 5th person. We have a kitchenette, providing you with a couple of stove burners, a mini fridge, and a microwave. You’ll have k-cups for the keurig coffee maker and cream and sugar for your coffee/tea. You can enjoy the breathtaking view of the Columbia Mountains right on the back porch, and keep an eye out for deer and wild turkeys that are often wandering the yard!

You’ll have no shortage of places to see and things to do when you visit our beautiful corner of Montana. Feel free to ask for suggestions, or offer them after your stay. We love to hear about all the fun and adventure our guests have while staying with us!
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio. Other standard amenities include a sofa bed and a coffee maker.

The caboose had everything we needed while visiting Glacier National Park. It was perfect for the two of us. Close to the park and restaurants. The layout of the caboose was amazing! They have so many interesting details. It’s the most unique rental we have ever had.

Nice and quiet location conveniently located with easy access to West Glacier, Whitefish, Big Fork, and Kalispell - only 5 minutes to downtown Columbia Falls. The renovation of the caboose is the work of a true craftsman. The downside is there’s no bathroom wash basin and no chairs (that I found) to enjoy sitting on the peaceful patio where there’s a wonderful view of the mountains, horses, and likely deer grazing.Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend for a unique and peaceful getaway.

This little caboose is completely remodeled and clean, Clean, CLEAN! I grabbed this up as soon as I found it on VRBO for a last minute trip to Glacier with my oldest daughter. We really enjoyed it. There are some steeper steps to get in. It is small and everyone inside will know where you are. But, there are comfortable beds, a nice love seat, and it is quiet. The refinished original wood is just beautiful. Thank goodness the bathroom is fresh. In 1913 there was a toilet that emptied onto the tracks! That toilet is available for your viewing pleasure should you desire, but you will have to ask the owners.. The windows provide fantastic ventilation and we did not use the available air conditioner. Perhaps on hotter summer days. This is a lovely tiny house that is only four minutes from Montana Coffee Traders in Columbia Falls. Maybe 25 minutes to Whitefish and the West Entrance to Glacier.

The Caboose was an excellent place to stay for our trip to Glacier National Park and our first time in Montana! Thanks to Dan and Holly for the amazing accommodations. A very cozy and unique space to stay with a seamless check-in and check-out process. Amos and Annie were the best greeters as well!

This caboose was so cute and efficiently set up. We wanted something a little unique and this was the perfect choice. The bunkbeds were a little on the hard side for 65-year-old bones, but the full-size bed was quite comfy. It was an easy drive to Glacier National Park from here and there is a Starbucks in between the caboose and GNP, which was great.

Great Stay In The Caboose

We had a wonderful time staying in The Caboose. Lots of character and detail. The old train car chair in the lofted area was a favorite. Very clean and everything we needed was provided. Communication with the host was great and check-in was very easy. Convenient access to downtown Columbia Falls and west entrance to Glacier National Park. We were really looking forward to staying in the caboose and it did not disappoint.

Very nice and situated at the end of their property next to a horse pasture. Quiet but so conveniently located between Whitefish and GNP. Saw deer daily and it was so peaceful. Used the fire pit, grill, dishes, containers for packing up lunch for hikes, coffee maker and toaster. Perfect size for a few days or even a week. Look forward to returning - Holly and her family were so kind.

The caboose is absolutely adorable and so unique. It was stocked with almost anything you may need for the kitchen and bathroom, minus food and personal items. We were greeted by Dan and his playful pup when we arrived, and they were both extremely pleasant. We didn't have the opportunity to meet Holly, but she was very attentive to any email correspondence and questions we had. She sent us a Google location map link that took us directly to the End of the Line Caboose. This place in tucked away in a beautiful spot with a beautiful view. I had early morning coffee on the patio deck and was able to watch deer graze and play in the field across the way. There are also horses in that same field. It was a very peaceful environment, and we really enjoyed the quiet time spent at the caboose when we there and not out walking trails and exploring the area. My husband and I would both highly recommend this place to family and friends!

Wow, what an awesome place! Staying at the caboose added a great element to our Glacier trip. We loved sitting on the deck watching the horses at sunset. We ate dinner on the deck every night after a long day of hiking. This place is super clean and so fun. Highly recommended.
