Fun Caboose

The red caboose was definitely unique! It was amazing how well the space was utilized and all the amenities packed into it. We were in the area for family gatherings so didn't spend much time at the caboose but it was quiet, peaceful and the views each morning and evening were beautiful.

Our second stay at Shorty's Caboose with our grandsons. They love it! There's so much for them to do on a wonderful property. We don't even make it home before they ask if we can go back next weekend? We highly recommend it if you're a train enthusiast or have young ones that are.

Few cleanliness concerns with a yellowjacket and dead ants, and the AC had some trouble keeping the place cool. Otherwise the caboose was very cute and the view/patio were great for a book-filled getaway.

We had a great time! We arrived at night and did not get to see the surrounding area. When we woke up in the morning we were mesmerized by the fantastic view of the lake off the rear deck! It is quiet and beautiful!

Just as advertised.

The place was unique and peaceful. The views of the lake were magnificent, plenty of room to explore. I really enjoyed the back patio, perfect place to enjoy coffee in the morning. I would definitely recommend this place as a vacation or weekend get-away from it all. The only drawback would be no nearby access to any type of store or place to purchase food. The owner did tell me, but I guess I did not fully realize.

Caboose

The inside was awesome where great detail was given towards the overall experience, what a treat to be able to spend time in a 100 year old caboose. The outside did need attention as the tables and chairs on the deck where not made ready and needed to be cleaned before we could use them. The grass from the caboose to the fire pit needed mowing. Overall the outside looked not ready for use. Even with this the stay met our expectations with a quiet setting and great water views. We missed what should have been an awesome sunset over the water due to cloud cover the whole weekend. We were able to have a fire the second night and took some awesome pictures of the fire against the lake and cloudy sky. The gas grill worked great and was the right size for 2-4 people. The neighbors were very quiet and respectful of our privacy. We enjoyed sitting on the deck or by the fire listen to the wild life around us without the city sounds intruding in our space. If you are looking for a unique experience give this a try you will be glad you did.

Perfection

This was our second time visiting and we had such a wonderful time. So much thought is put into making the guests feel comfortable and at home. You can tell that a lot of love was put into fixing up the caboose as well as each and every little welcoming touch. There is so much to enjoy. The scenery is spectacular. My 12-year-old son and I had fun paddling around the lake in the boat, lounging in the hammock. We all enjoyed fishing on the dock. We caught a few catfish and my husband was delighted to catch the big one that almost got away. We can't wait to return. Thank you so much!!

Cozy Caboose...

My wife and I enjoyed our stay in the Cottonbelt Caboose set alongside of Lake Limestone. The atmosphere is quiet...except for the activity of a variety of birds which add to the setting. The host includes many touches to make the caboose charming and attentive to things you may have left at home. They have done very well with the interior so that you know you are residing in a piece of history.

All aboard!

We had a great time at Shorty's Caboose from the time we arrived until our departure. We were there for the weekend to celebrate my son's 11th birthday and we took our 10 yr. old nephew along with us. The boys loved fishing on the lake, we rowed out in the canoe that was provided and fished late into the evening until it started raining,. Running back to the caboose in the rain was fun too! The area was quiet and peaceful, we got to see deer come onto the property and the boys really enjoyed eating in their own little area (on the loft above their bed) they each had their own window to view the lake from as they ate. The owners did an amazing job restoring it, I loved every single thing about our stay. We're already planning our next trip!
