  • My husband and I just got married the weekend before we stayed in the caboose, and we just needed to get away. We truly enjoyed staying in the caboose...it was great to have COMPLETE privacy! Everything was easily available for us to use. We loved the hot tub, firepit, and grilling under the stars! We definitely hope to return in the future :)

  • We enjoyed a wonderful weekend at the caboose early August. What a great way to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The weekend was spent having nice talks on the deck, grilling, sitting around the bonfire, relaxing and the hot tub, and watching some of our favorite movies. Be sure to visit Great River Roadhouse if you don't have a meal planned. We went there for lunch and they do have amazing pizza! Thanks so much for such a great experience and we hope to visit again!

  • We enjoyed our couple days in the caboose. The quiet was very nice. We used the hot tub both evenings after it cooled down outside, no mosquitoes either! Great relaxation.

  • We now have stayed at the Caboose 2x's. Once last October '08 and this year March '09. My fiance and I had a great time! The caboose is a great place to go for relaxation and to enjoy the beautiful scenery. The hot tub was perfect for the cool days and we enjoyed the fire in the evening. We highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for time away from all the hustle and bustle! ~Kathleen

  • My husband and I spent a relaxing 2 days at the caboose. Most of the time was spent in the hot tub!!!!! It was a wonderful place to get away from it all. The caboose is equipt with everthing you need. Just make sure you do your grocery shopping before you get there because the nearest store is 30 min. away. The views were breath taking because of all the fall colors. Would recommend this place to everyone.

    Hi Joel, Our stay was unbelievably relaxing. Everything was very clean and prepared when we arrived, and we enjoyed walking around, looking at trees and leaves and just feeling not so city-fied. Someone had also mowed all the areas nicely just before arrival. Took a lot of pictures of us hanging off the ladders on the end, sitting on the little platforms on the top, and holding the wheels on both ends of the caboose. We really enjoyed the hot tub, but chose to use it mostly in the mornings. There was something so nice about getting up when the fall mist was heavy, having a quick shower and slipping into a hot tub - while the trees were still all misty and soft and gray, and the birds flew around. A beautiful drive down to Gays Mills(Apple Fest)on Saturday, some pizza at the Great River Roadhouse. Your directions for finding the cabin were excellent, btw - the ones we downloaded from Google not so much. Grilled out one night, enjoyed the fire pit and all the well set up seating options, watched some movies. Overall it was exactly the getaway we were hoping for. Thanks so much, Ginger

  • We celebrated our 36th wedding anniversary at the caboose. It was great!! It is peaceful and quiet, really cute and private. The hot tub was wonderful! We totally enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it to anyone. We never did find the trout stream, though.

  • Whether you are a train buff or not, you will love your stay at the Caboose vacation cabin. A great way to get away from all those communication devices that rule our lives for a week. And as the Lansing IA library (across the river) has free Wifi, checking ones email every few days was not a problem in any case. [6/20-27/08] K & P Beine

  • This was a cozy, unique place to spend our first anniversary together. We enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub and watching the fireflies under the stars. The Great River Roadhouse had the best steaks we've ever tasted! The drive along the bluffs was beautiful. Wish we had more time to explore the area.
