The caboose is such a fun, unique experience. It was very clean, spacious, and the upper seating was perfect for reading. We arrive after dark and found it difficult to find, however the host communicated with us extremely quickly on a Saturday night. Highly recommend.

What a fun stay! The place was exactly as described. Being in the woods and right off of the Heritage Trail was really awesome.It was a bit hard to find in the dark, since there are a few other stays in the immediate area, and getting our truck into the tight turn to park was a challenge, but nothing that diminished our time there at all. Just something to be aware of.Since it got a bit chilly at night, the heating unit had a hard time keeping up. It was toasty in the upper-level seating area but chilly on the main level. We tried to turn up the heat and aim the fan to blow the hot air down, but it could only do so much. Again, nothing that ruined the stay, but be sure to bring warm pajamas.We were here for the Sleeping Bear Marathon, so our legs were far too tired to get to the Dune Climb… meaning we’ll be back to stay at the Caboose again! Thanks for a great time!

Perfect location. Bike trail and Dune Climb walking distance. Just 10 minute drive to both the town of Glen Arbor and also the scenic Sleeping Bear Dunes drive. Bonfires at night, visits from deer & wild turkeys. What a unique place to stay. We enjoyed the Caboose !!

Great stay

This was a perfect stay for my wife and I. The first day we walked down to the Dune Climb from The Caboose. Easy walk on the rail trail from there. The rest of the weekend we visited Glen Arbor, Suttons Bay, Leland, and all points in-between. It was nice after to get back to The Caboose, have a fire and enjoy the night. We would stay here again.

Peaceful getaway

The caboose was very well laid out and clean, with many modern amenities at our disposal. The location is superb: back from the road and fairly secluded, but very close to Glen Arbor and right next to the dune climb. It was so much fun to enjoy morning coffee in the cupola of the caboose!

Beautiful Romantic Getaway

My wife and I had the privilege of staying here for a weekend to celebrate our anniversary. If you are looking for somewhere quaint, beautiful, secluded and surrounded by nature, this is the place. The Dunes are within walking distance. Downtown Empire and downtown Glen Arbor are both only a ten minutes' drive; while these towns are both small, there's no shortage of good food and wine.

Amazing!

What a gift it was to stay here...thank you! Can't imagine the logistics & process it took to get a caboose stationed on this lovely property, refurbished & functioning as rentable accommodations. Loved the historic memorabilia found within. It was clean, well-stocked with accoutrements & soft linens. Perfect for 2 people for a few nights in beautiful northern.MI.

Cute, cozy and wonderful tucked in the woods!

This is a fantastic cozy stay! The owners have kept most of the caboose in its original state. The location is perfect for a dune climb. I have family in Glen Arbor and it was an easy drive to their place. I would definitely recommend this to anyone. The owners are very accommodating and friendly as well. Thank you very much

Enchanting Caboose in the Woods

We loved our weekend in the Caboose. This beautifully refitted and comfortable railcar had everything one needs. Close to the beach and hikes. Privacy. Peace and quiet. And the magic of staying in a slice of railroad history. Excellent hosts, easy communication. Everything was perfect.

Hansel and Gretel meets Polar Express

Very unique cozy cottage in the woods. The cottage aka Train Caboose is situated in a perfect spot in the woods at the foot of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Shoreline adjacent to the 20 mile Sleeping Bear Heritage bike trail. The cottage is very clean, has everything you need. A great place to read a book are the upper deck seats of the caboose. The hosts had great communication and ensured we had everything we need.

Very cute and unique experience. The set-up was so fun and we had a wonderful time.Could just be the time of the year but the bugs were very rampant but thankfully went away when the lights were turned off. Had a bit of an unpleasant smell we figured it was from whatever is used to prevent rust.The sound of the summer rain was soothing, a perfect way to spend a weekend celebrating my partners birthday. Highly recommended.

Amazing getaway

Stayed here for a solo birthday trip to explore sleeping bear dunes and the surrounding areas. Brooke and Robin were amazing hosts, great communication. The Caboose was so charming, well equipped with anything I may have needed. Waking up and having breakfast and coffee here was a great start to the day before going sightseeing. Returning after a long day and relaxing was peaceful. The location is second to none, minutes walk from the dune climb or Glen lake access. Within a 40 minute drive of all the key spots to see in that area, which seems endless. Who wouldn't want to stay in a train caboose? It was amazing!

Beautiful and Unique with the ideal location

This caboose is right where you want to be if you have come to this area to enjoy the outdoors. A few miles from Empire, Glen Arbor and Glen Haven and walking distance to the Dunes hike. My partner and I had the most amazing time here and the caboose is super cool and well appointed. The grill is really nice and there is a nice kitchen set-up so we were able to prepare some pretty great meals and didn't feel cramped. I can't express enough how good of a location this is. Immediately off the bike path, sandwiched in between everything, it's just awesome. There are two houses on the sides of you, but some woods in-between to give you decent privacy. It made it really easy to enjoy the stars on the dunes too since it was either a very short drive or a short walk to the dune hike.

We had a great time staying in the Caboose and learning about the history of 107. The location is perfect. You can almost literally reach out from the Caboose and touch the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Lots of scenic hiking trails, beach access, and kayaking nearby. The Caboose was clean and included all of the amenities we needed and we even enjoyed a nice fire one evening. We did not use the grill but it looked very clean and in great condition. Communication prior to arrival was excellent and the check in process was easy.
