I, and my friends, enjoyed the concept/idea of the cabooses. This time, however, the caboose I had seemed to be run down and not as nice as in the past....I had also inquired two times during my stay if I could SEE some of the the other cabooses so I could choose the one I liked best for my next stay but was told (both times) that that is not possible. I would be given what was available....I would rather "KNOW" which one I was actually getting before securing a caboose. :(

It was very nice and unique. Lots for kids right there. Could use a little updating ie shower needs a removable shower head . It was tough to get completely wet with stationary shower head. But other than that we enjoyed it very much.

Very enjoyable. Small showers so be prepared! Rounded shower curtains rods would help add some extra shoulder room for us larger older men. Great breakfast at Casey Jones!
