Sleep in a Real Train Caboose Unique Missouri Getaway
Step aboard The Caboose Roost in Fredericktown, Missouri — a one-of-a-kind train vacation rental designed for families, couples, and outdoor explorers.
Wake up in a real railcar filled with nostalgic charm, modern comfort, and a cozy loft that turns bedtime into an adventure.
Nestled in the heart of the Mark Twain National Forest and just minutes from Elephant Rocks State Park, Johnson’s Shut-Ins State Park, and Millstream Gardens (home of the Missouri Whitewater Championships), this caboose getaway offers equal parts romance, relaxation, and kid-approved outdoor fun.
Spend your days hiking, kayaking, fishing, and exploring nearby state parks, then unwind with peaceful evenings around the firepit and stargazing under the wide country sky.
With easy access just ½ mile from Highway 67 and only 1 hour 24 minutes from St. Louis, you’ll feel tucked away in nature while still being close for weekend getaways and family road trips.
Not just a place to stay — it’s a destination all its own.

Liked: Cleanliness
The place was clean, smelled fresh, the muffins she had were amazing. Every little detail about the place being a train cargo was perfect. The hooks for towls and toilet paper being part of the rail road. The flashing lights when coming into the property was very neat. The fire pit was perfect and she supplied the wood, lighter, and fire starter. Everything about this place was amzing. Will definitely be back. Worth the 4 hour drive.
