Great 2 night stay!

The Caboose was so cute and has everything we needed. I do wish there had been some drawers or shelves for clothes and some under the sink shelves for toiletries, but we made it work. Comfy bed, cute breakfast nook, great patio, hot tub felt great after a long day walking around. Loved all the railroad themed decorations! Would definitely stay here again.

We loved this cute little place for our weekend stay. Everything was so close and easy to get to. Parking was so convenient. Hosts were super responsive when we had an issue with the lock - which was so nice. Only advice would be to bring wine glasses if you want to have wine and a sleep mask to block out the light from the AC. It will keep a light sleeper awake!

Neat little place and conveniently located

Amazing place to stay with a slice of history. Not too often you get to say you stayed in a caboose. The hot tub was a nice bonus. The location was ideal. Didn’t have to worry about parking and was easily walking distance to everything. Will be coming back again!!!

Staying here is amazing, but it is an adventure. Quarters are definitely close and need just a little adjusting to. If you’ve ever done a weekend getaway in a travel trailer, you’ll do just fine. It’s a caboose in a very public downtown. Expect lots of unexpected visitors trying to get into the room.

Great location and Super Cute!

Property was perfectly located for hanging out in Wimberley without having to drive anywhere. It's only a few steps to everything on the square and is super cute. We loved it and the only complaint was my husband not loving the lack of a real shower, but he survived!

Last Minute Getaway

Chic Caboose was exactly as described, perfect for a couple looking to simply relax. Evening in hot tub followed by sitting on patio by the gas fire pit was the end to an excellent day. Be mindful of tub it is exactly that but a fun change from normal showering.
