Stay in a REAL train car in historic Virginia City, NV!

once in a lifetime 😄 so much fun sleeping in a caboose, there is everything you might need, check in was easy

Absolutely recommend this adorable Kaboose! Nice quiet area, easy to get to, adorably decorated. Just a nice relaxing stay! Will be back!

Had a wonderful time staying here with my grandson the night before taking a ride on the V&T Railroad. The caboose sits on the hill right above the train station, so you can just walk right down to the trains. It also has a wonderful eastern view for sun/moonrise. We loved climbing up top to the comfy seats in the cupola for evening reading. It IS a vintage railway car, so of course there are some “quirks” but they are part of the charm and fun of the unique lodging experience. We were a 74 year old and a 12 year old and both had a great time here!

Staying in a caboose has always been something we've wanted to do. It was a very unique and memorable stay! Comfortable, fun with lots of train memorabilia throughout. Nice patio and close to Main Street in historic Virginia City.

Unique and convenient. Nicely furnished. Warm even during winter. Checkin, checkout simple.

This was my first time staying in Ruby but it definitely won't be my last. First off the communication from the host was amazing she was so fast at getting back to me that it was almost like we were texting each other in real time. The caboose itself is absolutely amazing, the decor is awesome and everything you need is inside. I showed my friends who were staying down the street and they said that they were going to stay there next time they're in Virginia City. I can't wait to come back. Five stars for sure!

Beautiful and unique property! I highly recommend a stay here.

Well maintained wonderfully restored to authentic condition. I’d highly recommend this listing

Ruby the Caboose is charming. Owners have done a fabulous job restoring it and making it a comfortable stay. Close to all VC has to offer and the wild horses are a plus.

This place is amazing!

Had a great time! My 13 year old son loved all the train details and authenticity.. our first time to Virginia city what a great place.. thank you Heidi, we had a great time from Maui

Very cute and unique experience.

Super cute ! Great location! Host was so easy to work with. Clean and comfortable.

Very clean accommodations and Seamless check-in process. Host was very communicative and pleasant to interact with. Enjoyed the History of the Train car and the local surroundings. Always a good time in Virginia City.The neighborhood that the train car is in is very quiet and close to all things Virginia City has to offer.

We loved our experience and can’t wait to go back!

Absolutely beautiful and charming, exactly

Our stay in the Ruby Caboose was fabulous.

My husband and I stayed only one night in Virginia City but we absolutely loved it! Ruby the caboose was decorated so nicely...very thoughtful. We also really loved the gazebo and the views from Ruby. Easy walking distance to the cute town and all the old time-y saloons and such. We will absolutely recommend Ruby to friends- It was a very unique and comfortable VRBO!

Great place to stay if you're wanting to enjoy VC for a few nights. The caboose is super cute & comfy. Plus it has an amazing view at night of the hillside & sky (we even had a horse eat right next to us at night). This place is definitely special from it's history & style, to being the place my guy proposed to me! We will definitely be back here in the future & highly recommend it.

We had a wonderful stay in this well appointed caboose. The owners have made great use of its space and put so much detail into its decor. The bed was super comfortable and the air conditioning kept up with the hottest time of the day. There are some steep steps up to the caboose, but if you have no mobility issues it’s well worth the trek up to its charming space. We even walked the short distance to the railroad and toured several antique railcars, engines and cabooses. The location is perfect!

So fun to stay in the Red Caboose!! Very comfortable. Loved all the little touches inside. So much to look at. I enjoyed waving to the Virginia &Truckee Train as it went by. The main part of town was easy walking distance (some hills) and had a fabulous breakfast at Crazy Calamities. Sitting out in the gazebo was relaxing and I was happy to have several deer walk past!

We enjoyed our stay at the caboose in Virginia City. It is both close to the main street and somehow out of the way. The view towards the hills is magnificent.

Such a quaint little spot to stay! Perfect for two people

The details made the stay truly special. We utilized the Bluetooth old-fashioned looking speaker to listen to a book on tape while we sipped from gorgeous cut glass cups. The space is private, cozy, and just fun.

I will have to say what many others have said, it is an amazing experience to spend the night in a real caboose. The owners have gone out of their way to make it as authentic as possible short of rocking it while you are sleeping. My favorite part though was that how in a town that sometimes feels like Disneyland you have the luxury of quiet, privacy and a beautiful view just steps from downtown.

While the 'Caboose' is very cool, clean, and fun, it requires you to carry everything up about 12 steps from your car to the level of the tracks. Then another moderate incline to the Caboose, then a couple more steps. I inquired beforehand about any steps, and was told there were only a couple of steps! I was told that if we required help with the bags, to let her know. When I did, there was no response.
