Railroad Caboose

I'm offering a completely remodeled Railroad caboose located at 227 Lake June Dr. Lake Placid Fl. 33852. right next to the railroad tracks in the cutest little town you never heard of, Lake Placid Florida. The train passes by 5 days a week. The caboose has an addition on the back deck with a full bath and stacking washer dryer. There is a full kitchen and a barbecue grill. 2 TVs, high-speed internet and cable. There is a short queen Murphy bed and a mini split air condition / heater. You can go to YouTube and type in... "Simpsonville Station Caboose," for a short video tour.

Lake Placid is a quaint little town located about 120 miles south of Tampa in the center of the state on highway 27. The next closest town would be Sebring. It is 15 mi north of Lake Placid and best known for the 12-hour races at Sebring.
Lake Placid has 29 named lakes, so fishing and water sports are enjoyed by many who come to visit.

Lake Placid is also known as "The Caladium Capital of the World" You will see Caladiums growing in many of the flower beds around town, and the bulbs can be purchased from local vendors.

Another enjoyable feature of this cute little town are the 49 murals painted on sides of buildings. They are magnificent, and most are within walking distance. You can pick up a mural magazine at the chamber of commerce building where they also show a 10 minute video of some history of the town and murals.

Another great place to visit would be the old Lake Placid Atlantic Coastline Depot. The Historical Societies Railroad Museum is a great learning experience for all who visit.

There are parks, restaurants, and golf courses, something for everyone. So come spend a couple nights in the Railroad Caboose at the Simpsonville Station. Explore the lovely town of Lake Placid and take with you a lifetime of memories.

Please note, I take great pride in providing a pristine space for you to enjoy your vacation. To do so, I charge a minimal host fee for cleaning services, if anything is not to your satisfaction, be sure to let me know and I will personally ensure it is corrected.

Thank you for looking, Jerry

My wife and I were on our honeymoon and we had to evacuate Cape Coral due to hurricane Milton. The caboose was an incredible escape from the storm! Jerry the property owner was very gracious and accommodating given the circumstances. If we’re ever in need of a place in Lake Placid, we’ll consider the caboose! Thanks again Jerry!

Host was excellent in all respects. Property is clean and manicured. Inside was clean and decorated to theme. Has a nice little gift store on the property. As a treat a train chugged by twice on the tracks behind the Simpsonville Station caboose.

One of a kind, unique property. Restored caboose by master craftsman. Really nice relaxing 2 day stay. Although we didn’t use it, it’s always a plus to have a washer and dryer on site. We give this stay an A+

Excellent Caboose

Our stay at the caboose was perfect! Jerry did an amazing job on restoring the caboose. The details were very thought out! Clean and comfortable. I don't want to give out too many of the "extra special" features here. If you are thinking about staying here, hit book! Don't even give it a second though! Jerry is an exceptional host! We even got to see a train go by. We normally don't stay at places twice, only because we want to see other places, but I want to go back! Thank you again Jerry! The memories from staying at the Caboose will last a lifetime!

Amazing Railcar Experience

This is a unique experience. If you like trains, you will love this place. It is an actual, formerly in service, railcar (caboose). Jerry did a phenomenal job with this one. Also, the little town is full of interest history, from tallest concrete tower of its day to the 50+ murals. Enjoy! -A&D

The caboose has been restored into the most beautiful, cozy little home. Every detail was thought out and designed with thoughtfulness and care. If you love trains staying here is a must. Our host Jerry, was available for any issue we had and even made suggestions for things to do in Lake Placid. I would rate this a10, not a five.

All aboard for a perfect weekend!

We just spent a wonderful birthday weekend at the Simpsonville Station restored caboose. It was a truly unique and enjoyable experience. Jerry, the owner/host who restored the caboose is a master craftsman! His meticulous attention to detail both inside and out is incredible. We started with a picnic lunch on the deck where we met Jerry and learned about his labor of love restoring the caboose. We were floored by the clean and modern interior that was both charming and authentic. He thought of everything - even left a birthday card for my husband in the caboose! It was a great setting to relax and get away from the hustle & bustle of work life in the city. He kept in touch with us to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed - the perfect host. We felt secluded from the outside world during our stay and it couldn’t have been more enjoyable. Thank you Jerry, for sharing your special creation and for your hospitality. We definitely look forward to returning to the quaintness of Lake Placid & Simpsonville Station!

Acerca del anfitrión

Anfitrión: Jerry A Mazza

Foto de perfil del anfitrión
My name is Jerry Mazza I am 75 years old. I live on the property in Lake Placid Fl. 6 months out of the year, the other 6 months I spend in Bridgeville Pa. I bought several lots next to the property in Florida that I live on. The last lot I purchased went right up to the railroad tracks. I thought to myself, what a great place for a railroad caboose. 2 months later I had a railroad caboose.
US Sugar owns the rail line that goes past my property. With their help, I had 33 ft of railroad track laid on my property. After doing some research online, I ran an ad on Craigslist for a full size railroad caboose with cupola. I got a response from a gentleman in Brooksville Fl. After some negotiating an agreement was reached and I made arrangements to have the Caboose shipped 145 mi to my property in Lake Placid. The Caboose was a in pretty rough shape, but I couldn't wait to get started working on it. After a year and a half I completed the renovation. This was the most enjoyable project I've ever done.
I was told by some of the town seniors that the area where I live used to be called Simpsonville. It had a nice ring to it so I named my Railroad Caboose Simpsonville Station.
I hope you will have a chance to come and visit, stay in the Railroad Caboose, and visit the lovely little town of Lake Placid.
If you would like more information, do not hesitate to contact me.
Thank you very much, Jerry
