If you are looking for a unique, fun experience, this is the place to go. If you are looking for a spacious, modern room, stay away. This is a train caboose and they haven’t made a caboose in decades so they are old but nicely remodeled for a comfortable night rest.

Don't want to give away the real secret but stay in the Farm House. Beautiful evenings on the porch watching the trains go by, looking at the incredible farm lands.

This was a super convenient and fun place to stay while my family visited the area for Day Out with Thomas. The caboose was comfortable, food at the restaurant was great, and we enjoyed the gift shop, petting zoo, and small train playground area.

Our caboose wasn't ready @ 3pm check in time. I think they need more cleaning staff. The caboose appeared clean, but only on the surface. Our son found a shoe and a ball in his room on the right side of the bed next to the wall. Carpets could use a good cleaning. The bedspreads smelled and looked dirty. First and last stay for us. It was unique. The property was nice. Son enjoyed the petting area of a llama, pony, and goat.

If you want to stay in a memorable location, look no further than the Red Caboose Motel. The rooms are clean and offer many amenities on the property. They even have a petting zoo and offer buggy rides (for a fee). The restaurant served excellent food. Overall, this is an excellent place to stay and to watch the Strasburg Rail Road trail travel by several times a day. I would highly recommend staying here.
