Beautifully Renovated Yellow Union Pacific Caboose, Tehachapi Overlooking Cable

Very unique and incredibly fun!

Excellent accommodations. Highly recommend. Well-appointed. Hosts were friendly. Will definitely be back.

The Yellow Caboose is a great place to stay! The amenities were perfect for my husband and I as we spent a few nights here after we got married in town. My husband is a railfan and he loved having the scanner inside that helped alert us to inbound trains. We enjoyed having our meals at the table in the kitchen and outside on the deck watching trains go by. The searchlight signal was especially fun when we sat outside and enjoyed the stars. The directions and instructions from the Janine and Dan were very clear and helpful.

Fantastic place to stay for a railfan. Perfect and comfortable views from inside and out. It is an obvious labor love renovating this historic caboose. It's just a few miles from the Tehachapi Loop. However, we enjoyed the viewing from the deck even more. It was nice to have a Keurig machine for morning coffee. The queen bed is comfortable, enough that I didn't have to move to the cupola because of my twitchy hubby. The rolling umbrella on the deck made it wonderfully comfortable. We also saw many bird varieties and mule deer. It will be quite the memory for my railfan.

What an awesome place for anyone who enjoys trains and watching them roll past daily. The caboose is done so nicely and what a treat it was. The entire experience is one that will be hard to top!! It’s a must go and experience for all train buffs!!

We absolutely loved our 2 night stay in the caboose. It was clean and spotless inside with everything you need to stay for a couple of days. There was a lot of rail traffic both day and night which is great if you are a railfan like me. We would absolutely stay here again should we ever visit Tehachapi in the future

This stay was a surprise for our son who has been obsessed with trains and the Tehachapi Loop is at the top for him. What an experience and one we will never forget. The caboose was perfect for us along with the details and hosts being available if needed.

Love how they have turned this caboose into a wonderful getaway! The kids loved staying up on the cupola and we all loved the porch for watching trains and playing games. The decor is lovely and the caboose is clean. The kitchen was great for making dinner. The bathroom/shower was bigger than expected. Love the privacy of the while place. Thank you!

The caboose is beautifully renovated and makes a perfect place to hang out and watch trains in a great location. We look forward to coming back next year!

We loved the caboose, it was spotless and comfortable. It is also within sight and sound of the very active train tracks. Ear plugs were provided which helped but it was not easy to sleep. We don’t happen to be train enthusiasts but if you are this is the perfect place!

My girls loved the loft. Very clean and comfortable.

Unique experience staying in the yellow caboose! It’s located on a hill that overlooks the train tracks and from afar you can see the traffic on hwy 58. The deck is perfect for sitting and enjoying the wildlife (deer) and for birdwatching. Indoors everything is perfectly furnished and immaculately clean. It’s a cozy VRBO and we’d book it again. Hosts respond quickly to any questions which was very much appreciated.

We had a wonderful stay at the Yellow Union Pacific Caboose. We found it to have everything we needed and very clean. Communication with host was great. Highly recommend if you are looking for a unique experience and love trains.

The Yellow Caboose will be a trip we always remember! It was such a fun area for my train buff, but I enjoyed it as well.

100% recommended. Loved the novelty of staying in a caboose, but it’s more than meets the eye. Super well done, clean and well kept. We look forward to coming back!

This was an amazing stay!! We loved the train and the hosts. The location was clean and the hosts thought of everything you could possibly need.

The caboose is a wonderful place to stay, cean and interesting with such attention to detail and easy communication. We plan to return!

Hands down the best property we’ve stayed at. Easy check in and checkout. The caboose was great! Treats and ear plugs were a great touch. Was my wife’s birthday weekend and the owners left her a birthday card. We loved our stay and will definitely do it again.

Great view of trains passing by Delightful tiny home with creature comforts

Such a wonderful experience. The caboose was converted with accurate detail to history. It would be a wonderful place to visit for train buffs! There is even a radio inside that picks up current transmissions between train engineers as they go by on the track below. The deck on the evening provides cool breezes and a nice view. This one is a winner!

This place is amazing. Perfectly designed and constructed. Every inch of this place is so well done. It’s a perfect Tehachapi experience too. The owners are organized and thorough, which made the whole trip so easy. We will be back!

It was a great stay

The Caboose is the very definition of “repurposed” when it comes to Art, History and modern day comforts of home all in one unique package. The hosts Dan & Janine really went all-out to refurbish the Caboose into a very comfortable and modern living space, but kept all the authentic features of a genuine train caboose! This is the place for both nature lovers and those who appreciate the trains and trucks on the highway that deliver America's economy. Safe, private, comfortable and very relaxing, this Caboose is unique on VRBO. We film nightscapes, and despite the light-pollution of LA nearby, the dark skies of Tehachapi were beautiful. We have a video that You can see on the Tube called Tehachapi Caboose if you want to see more of this beautiful rental. We loved the place and the hosts. This is really the ideal retreat for a couple who wants to get away from town. Thanks again Dan & Janine for your hospitality and great efforts making this rental so pleasurable!

This is a wonderful place to stay with pretty views. So much care and attention has been put into transforming the caboose into a unique experience. The place is very clean, the bed so comfortable, and communication pleasurable. The large deck is an added bonus. Bring binoculars if you enjoy bird watching. Whether you are a train enthusiast or not make sure to visit the Tehachapi Loop.
