Cute, adorable caboose tucked back into a private lot. Enjoyed the Fire pit and hot tub daily. Scenic drives and walks. Definitely will refer to friends and will be back ourselves.
Very unique & peaceful place to stay. The communication with the host was excellent!! It was everything we expected & more. We would definitely stay again sometime in the future.
Rest/ relax/ refresh!!!We LOVED this little gem! Secluded/ quiet/ clean / cozy!!!Close to a lot of small town kindness and fun in Pairie Du Chein..(sp?).Includes hot tub and bon fire…We did it all
This is a great getaway!!! John is a great host. The caboose is just the way it is described. It rained most of the time we were there, so we were unable to take advantage of the grill and firepit, but we still enjoyed the birds singing and the quietness. There are many things to see/do in the area and we had a fun time.
My hubby & I had a fabulous, fun & unique 25th Anniversary here! Beautiful area, lots of wild life, relaxing hot tub & scenic drives to the nearby towns. “Coffee on the River” is a cute place for breakfast & the Great River Road is a must! Thank you John for the gift card & wine! Den & Amy
My best friend and I stayed in this cabin for a fun get together. We would highly recommend it! The hot tub was a plus and the area was very lush and well maintained. Our dogs also enjoyed their time getting to explore the area and having so much room in the yard. Thanks for a great stay!
We enjoyed a weekend at this cozy, well-appointed caboose. The hot tub gazebo was delightful and owner John was quick to respond to questions and requests.
This was a great place to go and get away from the computers and normal day hustle and bustle of life, and spend quality time with the wife. Would definitely stay here again.
My daughter and I have been finding unusual places for a quick girls getaway and this place did not disappoint. Check in was so easy and we received a code to enter. Check out was easy with a checklist to complete. Great communication with owner. We were able to bring out small old dog with once we paid a small extra fee, 40. The place was a perfect time to spend time together and make memories. I'd definitely recommend!
Very nice well appointed and secluded get-away. Cozy cast iron stove took the spring chill off. It is well located for my adventure visiting a number of the state parks in SW Wisconsin.
I had a wonderful time staying in the caboose! It was such a relaxing getaway destination. Our host also provided two bottles of wine and a gift card for a local coffee shop! The property was clean and cozy.
We had a great and relaxing time. We loved the quiet and just being able to be lazy in the hot tub and by the bonfire. Its a great location and the drive there is so beautiful.
