All Aboard!

This place is set up so cute. Wish I would have taken more pics before we had all of our stuff spread out everywhere! The bunk beds were fun and surprisingly comfy! Roomier than expected but a little bit nicer couch or chair to sit in after a long busy day would have been nice. The fire pit area is awesome and we had enough wood for fires for days!!! Love the board games and Boxcar children books! Only two things as a few others mentioned: bathroom is clean and roomy and didn’t mind the short showers but very difficult to wash long hair while having to hold the shower head. There was no garbage can outside as mentioned and we had to go to the store to buy garbage bags since the one tiny wastebasket would not do us much good for 5 days! Otherwise very cute and a fun experience! Wish we had discovered when my kids were smaller but even as teenagers they thought it was cool (well, as cool as teenagers can be expected to think!)

It is a restored railroad caboose how cool is that The people were nice ? World Class

We enjoyed staying here and will return. It was clean and tidy. Location to down town was amazing. We highly recommend staying here.

Stayed here with my kids for a long weekend. Definitely a unique stay. Very clean, nicely decorated, in a great location!

Loved our stay at the Caboose!

Such a fun little place to stay! The location was perfect. We had a great weekend. Thank you.

Our grandkids loved the magic of staying in a train caboose. Thanks for helping make some lasting memories.

Nice quiet location. Pet friendly. Easy walk to town and the waterfront. Inside was clean and comfortable. I've always wanted a caboose since I was a kid so this stay was special.

Fun property in prime location. Ideal for families or a private getaway. Our only real complaint was a glaring lack of hot water which isn't mentioned (that I saw) until we arrived.

great place!!

Everything was great, we will be back!

We absolutely loved the caboose!!! Perfect location. So cozy!!! Absolutely recommend and will be back. Walking distance to town and the beach.

It was a cool experience to stay in the train, the only thing I would change is the shower, small hot water tank so what they call a Navy shower lol (get wet shut water off soap up and then turn water back on to rinse) but I would definitely recommend staying with this host!

We had a great time staying in the caboose for two nights! The photos look exactly like it does in person. If you rent, just think of it like sleeping in a camper, and bring supplies accordingly. There is one roll of toilet paper provided, and you'll need to bring trash bags, paper towels, etc. The space heater worked well to keep us warm on those 30 degree nights. We took it into the bathroom when having our Navy showers. There is a laundromat 6 minutes away by car, and the Marathon station close by has fire wood and s'mores kits. Groceries and all modern conveniences are close as well as the cute downtown area. Don't forget to go see the SkyBridge!

We had such a great time visiting Boyne City and staying at the Red Caboose a couple of years ago, I decided to book us for Labor Day weekend this year for a last summer Hurrah! So glad we did. We really enjoy summertime in Boyne City and surrounding area. The Caboose is great fun, well kept, has all we need for the long weekend. Looking forward to returning for a third trip!

This is a great small property. Good location, with an easy walk to town. This was our second visit and we are planning on coming back.

We throughly enjoyed our stay in this unique property! Marty has down an amazing job outfitting the caboose! It is comfortable, cozy and even contains some historic railroad memorabilia. An added plus is the close proximity to the downtown area. Communication with Marty was seamless and efficient. Highly recommend if you are looking for a unique experience!

Very nice, clean, friendly, and adventurous. Definitely would recommend for brief getaway up to four people.

Quiet. Great location. Nicely done inside. Bunk beds are sturdy but a bit narrow for an adult. Claw foot tub is lovely. Lock box convenient. A fun experience overall.

The caboose was right up our alley. We drove into town and had our daughter close her eyes until we pulled up. She couldn’t believe it. Even when we got in she couldn’t believe that we were actually staying there. You are so close to town and the beach, which is why we were in town. We plan on booking again for the same time next year. It was also a huge bonus that would could bring our dog.

Overall, we thought the train car was a unique experience and the kids loved it. It was restored nicely and is in an excellent location very close to town. I read the reviews and brought a large trash bag and that was helpful all that we needed. There was a small seating area that was added after the pictures. That was a nice addition.
