Lake Placid, Florida
I'm offering a completely remodeled Railroad caboose located at 227 Lake June Dr. Lake Placid Fl. 33852. right next to the railroad tracks in the cutest little town you never heard of, Lake Placid Florida. The train passes by 5 days a week. The caboose has an addition on the back deck with a full bath and washer dryer. There is a full kitchen and a barbecue grill. 2 TVs, high-speed internet and cable. There is a short queen Murphy bed and a mini split air condition / heater. You can go to YouTube and type in... "Simpsonville Station Caboose," for a short video tour.
Lake Placid is a quaint little town located about 120 miles south of Tampa in the center of the state on highway 27. The next closest town would be Sebring. It is 15 mi north of Lake Placid and best known for the 12-hour races at Sebring.
Lake Placid has 29 named lakes, so fishing and water sports are enjoyed by many who come to visit.
Lake Placid is also known as "The Caladium Capital of the World" You will see Caladiums growing in many of the flower beds around town, and the bulbs can be purchased from local vendors.
Another enjoyable feature of this cute little town are the 49 murals painted on sides of buildings. They are magnificent, and most are within walking distance. You can pick up a mural magazine at the chamber of commerce building where they also show a 10 minute video of some history of the town and murals.
Another great place to visit would be the old Lake Placid Atlantic Coastline Depot. The Historical Societies Railroad museum is a great learning experience for both adults and children alike.
There are parks, restaurants, and golf courses, something for everyone. So come spend a couple nights in the Railroad Caboose at the Simpsonville Station. Explore the lovely town of Lake Placid and take with you a lifetime of memories.
Thank you for looking, Jerry

Jerry did a fantastic job restoring the caboose. We were more than pleased with everything. And Jerry is awesome . Thank you Jerry for everything. Great memories.
Staying in the caboose was great. We had coffee upstairs each morning watching the sunrise! Fun using the railroad gate each time we went in and out. Jerry is a very attentive host. He did an awesome job of refurbishing and remodeling this caboose.
Staying in an actual caboose was awesome! The restoration and incorporation of modern amenities make for a perfect little getaway
Excellent place to stay, clean, with all you need, just bring your clothes.
I stayed here while attending my first in-person race weekend at Sebring. The Caboose was very comfortable, clean and had all the convinces I needed! With a easy 20 minute drive to the track, I will definitely make this a top choice to stay when attending future race weekends! Bring some train movies to watch! Nothing quite like watching Burt Lancaster in 'The Train' while staying on a train car!
Attention to details inside and outside the caboose was extraordinary! Loved everything about our stay! Jerry was super easy to communicate with. Would stay at this property again.
Everything about this place is special. The owner outdid himself and his vision certainly paid off. The check in and check out process is seamless. This is not your average vrbo! The owner thought of everything for the kitchen, bath, bed, deck, and then some! Jerry made our stay so very special that we almost don't want anyone else to know about it because now it will be booked year round - YES IT WAS THAT GOOD and LOVELY! - you will not be disappointed. Clean, serene, and private. 5 stars ***** across the board! Thanks you, Jerry for making out time away so very wonderful! Can't wait to come back and meet you in person next time! - DL and ML
As written a cozy, comfortable, well equipped caboose cottage. Lots of little train touches throughout including a running HO train up in the cupola. Perfect place to stay for the caladium festival and sugar cane express train ride. Jerry checked in with us to make sure there were no problems throughout our stay. Beautifully restored and appointed.
Unique experience staying in this beautiful Caboose. Great area with lots to do and see. Very responsive owner made this effortless to checkin and out. Highly recommend this experience.
Very cool property to stay at, close to everywhere I needed to be. I met my first grandchild inside this caboose, as my oldest son and daughter-in-law live near by. Special place, you will love it!
Friendly owner, good communictions. Nicely designed, unique lodging
The Charming Cozy Caboose greatly exceeded our expectations. The accommodations were great and the host was exceptional and always available if we needed anything. He left lots of instructions so that we could find everything and make our stay even more enjoyable.
Awesome! Jerry was the best host! Fantastic stay.
What a wonderful experience this was. I always try to find a unique Rental when on vacation and this was certainly it! Jerry was a great host and made a beautiful home from this caboose. Well worth the rental if you are in the area!
The caboose doesn’t move anymore, but it quickly takes you to a stop of unique relaxation. The attention to detail ranging from the toy train in the cupola with its matching caboose to the well-placed Edison lights show the hand of an artist. Also appreciated were the two TVs and comfortable Murphy bed. The caboose—complete with its own crossing gate—is one ride you shouldn’t miss!
Can't give enough stars to Jerry and his property. The area is nice and quite, great place to stay an check out the area of Lake Placid as everything is close. Jerry makes sure that you have anything you need and you can see the pride he takes in the property when you check in and he gives you the tour. The craftsman ship and unique character of the caboose is something that you have to see. Very comfortable for two people and we will be staying again when we return to Lake Placid in the future.
This place is clean, very well kept and soooooo cute. It has many railroad details that add to its charm. I felt safe in area and stores are nearby. Jerry always contacted me in a timely manner and made sure I had an enjoyable stay.
Jerry is the most attentive and caring host I have ever dealt with. He wanted to make sure absolutely EVERYTHING was perfect during my stay. I was in town for a week directing Hurricane relief and this was the perfect spot for me. Now, I’m going to invent a reason to go back there, just to stay again. I cannot recommend this property enough!!!
This was a fantastic stay and it was very fun and interesting. Jerry has done a wonderful job creating a unique property for guests, especially those who are train enthusiasts. Many times when we stay places we find things in the community of interest, but this time we enjoyed staying in and just enjoying the property. Keep up the good work Jerry.
Felt very luck to find this. Great property even if it wasn't a caboose. That just made it extra special. Quiet and safe.
Great place. More then we expected
Jerry's place is absolutely wonderful. You can really see the time, passion, and dedication put into this caboose. If you are in the area and in need of somewhere to stay; do yourself a favor and stay here! The area is quiet and peaceful. The hospitality is 5 stars. I cannot praise this stay enough!
This property exceeded our expectations! Simpsonville Station Caboose is so cool and beautifully restored by Jerry. Can’t say enough about the cleanliness, all amenities you would ever need, in a peaceful location that feels private and inviting. While in the kitchen look up, hit the remote, watch the HO scale train make its way around the track. Jerry is just a great guy, excellent communication and when asked, he provided history about the caboose. Lake Placid and surrounding areas offer plenty to do. The property even has a working railroad crossing gate upon entering the driveway. We would definitely stay here again, without hesitation.
This was the best, clever accomodations, small town, many lakes, lots to do, a little town with big hearts & surviving. Best craft store ever. But the best part was staying in the caboose . so Quiet and peaceful. JERRY was very interesting to visit with.We will be staying there again.
