What an amazing property!!! Every detail was thought of when remodeling this caboose. It is absolutely stunning. And, it’s as comfortable as it is beautiful. Everywhere you look, you see another tiny piece that is spot-on withe the caboose’s decor. You have to see this beauty!!!

Chris was very responsive to my messages and allowed to reschedule my booking to a different weekend. The caboose is gorgeous and so is the location. We did a photo shoot with the kids inside. It was so adorable!

This is truly a five star rental. The pictures do not do it justice. The level of detail put into this rental is beyond anything I have ever experienced. The host, Chris, was awesome and suggested several places to eat and explore in the area. Thanks Chris!!!!

The whole experience of staying in a train car was fun. But when I walked in it was better than I could have ever imagined. The decor was on point bringing you back in time. Host was wonderful, space was clean, comfortable and beautiful. I loved that it was right next to the river which was so peaceful to have a cup of morning coffee. I would bring a sleep mask, the stained glass door in the bedroom let in a lot of light at night. Perfect spot , 30 mins from Herkimer mines. I will definitely be coming back to this hidden Gem when I am back in the area.

Rented this place for a romantic getaway and the listing was so nostalgic just had to experience itThe place is gorgeous. The owners put such thought and money into little items.Couch is exquisite not made for lounging but the bedroom was extra comfortableCheck in and out was no issueThe owner Chris was super responsive to questions. We had an issue with the internet speed and he was faster than 5G coming down to look at the box.The owner has beautiful pictures posted of the property I have included all the special items The description of the property was excellent just note the grounds is shared with other rentals so privacy is limited. Check out is 11am and they were already setting up tents at 10am.Only negative I would like a closet or rod to hang clothes I still give 5 stars... Totally recommendWhen in town you must visit Bridge St diner.. Walking distance and so good
