Fabulous trip, beautiful country, awesome caboose. The location is ideal for day trips to many great places. The caboose is just the right size for two. As we don’t like to eat every meal out, having the grill, mini fridge, and microwave was a huge help. We also greatly enjoyed the hot tub and used it everyday. The lot size was smaller than anticipated but still enjoyable.

This cozy little caboose was exactly what we needed for a short little getaway. There is no stovetop but there is a microwave and a grill. We spent most of our time enjoying the outdoors and the local shops/restaurants in Manitou Springs so we did not utilize the kitchen area much. No AC, but the caboose sits in a wooded area with lots of air movement. We opened the windows and turned on the fans which kept it quite cool (in August!). I contacted the owner once through the VRBO app and the response was immediate. Overall, I was satisfied with the experience. The caboose is beautifully decorated and quite comfortable. I would recommend it for any couple looking for a short stay in the area who plan to enjoy what the surrounding community has to offer.

What a Magickal Experience!

We loved it all. It was a stop on our daughters 3rd birthday road-trip through Colorado. She loves trains and she couldn’t have been anymore elated to have “her train house”. It was so cozy and comfortable. Thank you for helping bring some of our baby’s birthday dreams come true.
