8 guests' feedbackAffirmation of the Red Caboose's charm. The attention to detail provides a unique yet luxurious ambiance. One can unwind in the hot tub and enjoy local wine - pure romantic getaway. Morning coffee amidst the tranquility of working farms and a mountainous backdrop is purely serene. Evenings are spent watching the sunsets by a cozy fire. Though nearby roads are audible, the place still ensures enough privacy and safety. A truly enchanting experience overall and amazing storyline behind the build.
Very nice and unique place to stay. Everything you need for self-catering.
Absolutely the best experience ever. Will definitely go back.
We felt welcome from the minute we arrived. Steph and Dustin did an amazing job restoring the old 1941 caboose. After all the rain and floods in the area, we also had the chance to do some 4x4 driving on the roads to get there Again, what an amazing experience. Nothing was lacking and it was wonderful to be in nature, even if it was only for a few days.
We loved our stay at the Red Caboose. Everything was beautifully made up, and we were all so impressed with the conversion of the train carriage. It's perfect for young families.
Was the last two nights of our holiday and what a disappointment. We were really looking forward to staying there, but everything was wrong from the moment we arrived. No water in the hot tub, and the beer we ordered was warm. The next morning we could not bathe because the geyser was off. But worst of all is the sewage smell from the toilet that permeates the whole place. It is really very unpleasant. Then the place is also about 50 m from the main road.
The Red Caboose is an excellent destination and definitely a must visit! Very neat and nicely decorated and equipped with everything you might need. One can only appreciate all the effort and attention given to the old wagon.
It was a very interesting experience and thoroughly enjoyed it.
