The little red caboose was an amazing place to stay with relaxing atmosphere. It had all the amenities and more. The freshly made chocolate chip cookies were a great touch. We were extremely happy with our stay here and will be back next time we visit Oregon.
Jennifer and Phil are very gracious hosts. The caboose met our needs and wants perfectly. Check-in was easy and the place is clean and very quaint. We had no issues. We will stay here again.
This is a wonderful place. Quiet, comfortable and clean. 15 year old girls loved the upstairs nook. Host was super friendly and left treats and a note upon our arrival. Would stay again.
We loved our stay in the Red Caboose! It is the perfect size for two of us and everything is very clean and nicely maintained. The property absolutely could not be more beautiful and we enjoyed sitting on the nice covered deck every day and looking over the hills. They have the cutest little farmstand with delicious organic pears and grapes and more from their orchard, too! We will definitely be back again to stay!
We loved our stay in the red caboose! It was the perfect amount of space for the 2 of us, especially with the lovely attached deck and outside space. Everything was well thought out with lots of cleverly designed touches to make the space very functional and comfortable. The property and surrounding area are so absolutely stunning! We hope to be back to stay again!
It was a wonderful weekend escape so great for solo or couples. Jennifer provides the small touches that sets the caboose apart from other blaze short term rentals. Wonderful place would stay and recommend again especially for solace seekers
My partner and I had an excellent time at the caboose. It was relaxing and quiet. Jennifer had left some thoughtful touches that really made us feel at home.
We loved everything about the location and the caboose. The property was gorgeous and we got to feed the horses. The views are amazing. Jennifer and Phil were the best hosts ever.
Very cute spot with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Easy to access and simple instructions, a unique interior with a very cool exterior. Host was easy to communicate with, left some home grown fruit in the kitchen as well.
We loved the little red caboose! It was the perfect getaway just right outside of the city. Jennifer was a great host as well. Next time we are visiting Portland we will definitely be staying there again!
I stayed here with my family and we had an amazing time. The hosts were really helpful and accommodating and the property was absolutely stunning! They had cornhole and other games for evening fun before we hung out around the campfire. I am definitely going to book this property again.
The Little Red Caboose is adorable, clean and had everything we needed. The property is beautiful!
We highly recommend and we plan on returning.
Rated 10/10 stars.
The history of the Caboose and family made the stay a10! Jennifer and Phil go all out to make it a very quiet relaxing adventure! They provide a very healthy filling breakfast to start your day off. The Caboose is decorated to really make it an adventure. You must take time to check out all the details of the decor.
We had the best time here. It’s gorgeous and just outside of Portland. Easy to get to from the airport. Beautiful view with excellent host. The host makes you feel welcome and leaves special treats and makes sure you have everything you need for the morning. Thanks to the hosts!
What an amazing place to stay. Oregon farmland, horses, dogs, and the owners provide such amazing gifts including their own blueberries! And there is such a beautiful surrounding area. Highly recommended.
Quant cozy locale. A wonderful get away but only a short scenic drive from the city. Host's were welcoming and very friendly. Plan to book again in the future.
Everything we hoped for and more. Great location. Perfect for our country hearts. Managers were on site for all/any needs. Give this place 6 out of 5 please
