Stay aboard a 1968 SOO-Line Caboose! Experience a piece of history smartly renovated to provide all the comforts of home while retaining historical integrity. Just 1 block from state bike trails Hiking trails to river Firepit and more!
The Caboose is amazing! We felt like little kids checking everything out and reading the history the owner has provided about the caboose. Great balance of keeping true to history while also being a comfortable place.
I love the location near the bike trail. It is a unique and interesting place to stay! We had everything we needed for the weekend. They make good use of the space with it being small. Glad we chose this for something different!
We had a nice 2-night stay in the Caboose. Cute little place out of the ordinary. Great location for biking the trails. Definitely felt like we were in a train - especially when the trains went by!
What a fun and facinating olace to stay. The Caboose was redone but they kept as much of the original things as they could. Its cozy and unique. It was clean and well stocked.
Such a unique and fun place to say! Itâs small but perfect for two! Itâs decorated so cute and is so clean! Had a delightful stay! Also the recommendations for food in the area were great! Only thing I recommend is bring an eye mask if staying in the summer, late sunsets and early sunrises make for a very bright stay, but this was great when not sleeping. Lots of natural light!
We were so delightfully surprised to see how it was restored and turned into a place to stay. My husband (SOO LINE nut) was in awe as to how the caboose looked so much like it did from years ago. He read the materials (on site) that told and showed how it was moved from the train yard to its current location. Great information. Another surprise was realizing that it was not too far from a main line, you can watch an Amtrak and others come rolling through, horns sounding with full excitement from the deck. Great adventure for us. Will plan on future visits, but staying longer.
Caboose #34 is a charming step back in time and away from the usual business of modern life. The property is so peaceful with a lovely trail to the river, a secluded fire pit and relaxing deck. Seconds away from the bike trails and a few short blocks from downtown Sparta. It's a totally fun break from the norm,
