Very cool spot to stop for a night on our travels.
Great for train fans. Super close to the Strasburg Railroad and Amish country. Real steam trains and horse and buggy rides. Great for watching too.
There was friendly service and very beautiful and unique!
The Cabooses added to the character of the property of course. Would be fun for children especially.
Property and train cars have changed very little since our last stay with our son in the 90's. It was nice to be able to to bring our grandchildren and duplicate that trip from long ago.
Liked there were so many play options for kids and close to everything. Didn't like that the caboose smelled like mold and the bathroom did have mold in it. The bedding was not comfortable either.
Red Caboose is a very unique place to stay and the staff were friendly and helpful. I feel the cars could be updated as the one we were in was showing it's age... but maybe that's part of the charm.
Unique place
My wife agreed to a train vacation - she called it a "traincation" - sleeping in the caboose was really nice. Eating in the Casey Jones dining car was an added bonus - very nice and the food and service was excellent. We saw lots of young families and the children seemed to enjoy the experience - including the free petting zoo and Amish buggy rides. The staff was super friendly and helpful - even called to make sure we got into our caboose and everything was going good. This is a property with 38 cabooses and two larger cars. But everything was clean and well stocked. It's safe. You park right in front of your caboose. A/C and lights all worked as they should. I highly recommend the Red Caboose Hotel - it's a fun place and there are LOTS of things to do close by. If you go - take a train ride on the nearby steam loco powered Strasburg Railroad train! A BIG GOOD TIME! I
If you love trains this is the place to stay! Friendly and helpful staff, excellent restaurant, cozy rooms in a caboose! Beautiful scenery, can’t wait to stay again!
Everything was good so was the food
The cabooses are nice and cozy. The AC and the heaters worked well. Because you are sleeping in your own car there is a lot of privacy and no noise from the next room. The bathroom was tiny and so was the shower. If you like trains then you will love this hotel and the area. If you aren't a fan of trains then you will hate this place. We had breakfast at the restaurant every morning and it was very nice. The coffee tasted wonderful. I loved the chance to eat scrapple.
Had our three grandkids along and they were thrilled. It was very clean, and a really cool experience.
I stayed at the Shady Rest Motel on the property and it was great 2 bedroom comfortable bed, SOOOO affordable
My son was on cloud 9 when he found out he was staying in a caboose! He’s a little obsessed with trains. The room was small, but big enough for the four us. Microwave, mini fridge, ac units, shower was all we needed.
Train cars in need of maintenance/repair, interior space fairly clean but beds very uncomfortable
the idea of staying in a caboose was nice. but the room was tiny, the cabooses are showing there age and could use some work. the restaurants food was good but the service was extremely slow. It is in a nice area surrounded by Amish farms. the free petting zoo was nice and the silo observation tower was interesting.
