Was cozy and quiet. Very nice property, to enjoy some relaxation time for a weekend getaway with my wife. The screened hot tub room was a big perk. We would definitely come back and would recommend this place to anyone looking to getaway and enjoy some quiet time with nature. The host provided lots of things on site and was very responsive

The caboose was better than advertised and better than expected. Excellent execution of quality materials makes a cozy comfortable relaxing getaway. The hot tub really helped work out the sore muscles from the long travel. Sitting on the porch and watching the sunrise and the sunset is very peaceful. I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to get away into the country see beautiful sights along the River road drive and just relax. The host is excellent. Thank you, john!

Such an enjoyable stay at this unique and quaint VRBO. The caboose was spotless and well stocked with anything one could need. Loved the fireplace and hot tub! John was most accommodating - keeping us informed of upcoming snowstorm before our reservation and offering to extend our stay or reschedule at the last minute.
