About

All aboard! Hop on a caboose car at the Red Caboose Motel for a fun and unique overnight stay. All 38 cabooses (19 of which were once part of the Pennsylvania Railroad) are decorated in the paint schemes of America's most famous railroads. The rooms are divided into 11 general floor plans, each catered to the number of guests for the evening. There's also a baggage car, mail car and a home away from home called the Shady Rest Hotel Farmhouse Efficiency Suite. And the best part is, you never have to leave the property -- it has everything you could possibly need on site. Explore Amish life on an Amish buggy ride, play games at the arcade, pet animals at the zoo. There's also a restaurant on-site, Casey Jones' Restaurant, and for a late-night snack, guests can stop by the take-out ice cream parlor, Janie Jones’.

Pros +

  • The caboose we stayed in was larger than expected. It was really nice. We are definitely going back.
  • The staff are amazing. The location is great. The ability to sleep in a real caboose is very cool. The petting zoo is adorable. It's just an awesome family experience.
  • Location and surrounding scenery

Cons -

  • No there was not. Staff were great!
  • Railroad car exteriors have faded and peeling paint (no doubt lead based since they haven't been painted in years. Interiors were worn and dirty including torn and stained carpeting, mildew around tubs, dirt on woodwork. Also, cars were not level.
  • Cramped layout, hard bed.

Top Quotes:
