    We loved this cute little place for our weekend stay. Everything was so close and easy to get to. Parking was so convenient. Hosts were super responsive when we had an issue with the lock - which was so nice. Only advice would be to bring wine glasses if you want to have wine and a sleep mask to block out the light from the AC. It will keep a light sleeper awake!

    The caboose is in a perfect location for shopping and dining. The decor was precious! Hot tub was nice and relaxing. The fire pit was perfect for having a drink and kicking back. Area was nice and quiet. Being dog friendly was very nice!

    Staying here is amazing, but it is an adventure. Quarters are definitely close and need just a little adjusting to. If you’ve ever done a weekend getaway in a travel trailer, you’ll do just fine. It’s a caboose in a very public downtown. Expect lots of unexpected visitors trying to get into the room.

    The Caboose was so cute and has everything we needed. I do wish there had been some drawers or shelves for clothes and some under the sink shelves for toiletries, but we made it work. Comfy bed, cute breakfast nook, great patio, hot tub felt great after a long day walking around. Loved all the railroad themed decorations! Would definitely stay here again.

    Amazing place to stay with a slice of history. Not too often you get to say you stayed in a caboose. The hot tub was a nice bonus. The location was ideal. Didn’t have to worry about parking and was easily walking distance to everything. Will be coming back again!!!

    The property was perfect. The caboose was right in town, yet felt private. It was spotless w a great porch & hot tub. We walked everywhere. It was a perfect spot & so easy to ck into. No texting back & forth the day of arrival trying to get codes. Great trip-we’d stay there again.

    Chic Caboose was exactly as described, perfect for a couple looking to simply relax. Evening in hot tub followed by sitting on patio by the gas fire pit was the end to an excellent day. Be mindful of tub it is exactly that but a fun change from normal showering.

    Really loved how close it was to the square. We could walk everywhere within minutes and not have to worry about a place to park. Had a couple walk up to look at the train while we were on the porch so be aware you may have some people see you while you’re there but it wasn’t a big deal. Loved it! Loved reading the story about the train! Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

    The property surpassed our initial expectations. Ample room, comfy bed, nice kitchen and bath! Wonderful restaurants are only a two minute walk away.While it did become apparent the nearby construction wasn't stopping even when raining, we made the best of the situation. We would book it again in a heartbeat!

    Property is in a great location and clean. They adjoining property had construction going on every day, and it was jackhammering and breaking-up concrete. This was not just started, so I believe we should have been told this before booking and given the chance to change dates. This will be going on for several days or week, so check it out in person. The weekends should be fine.

    The place was nice and clean. Only issue was the bath tub. Very small and hard to get out of. Very slippery. Should install some grab bars as it is hard to get out of and I almost feel. My husband is a big guy and couldn’t easily use either. The hot tub had an odor. Bed not comfortable. Very cute but not practical.

    We totally enjoyed every aspect of our stay. The caboose is decked out in retro however, everything is clean and spotless. steps to downtown shopping and eating and centrally located for things such as shopping, wineries and other recreational activities. We stayed for the weekend because we were attending a Wedding Venue that was 15 minutes up the road.

    The caboose was very clean and in the middle of town with parking. This rental really made our trip. So much thought and detail was put into this property. The bathroom has a gorgeous clawfoot tub with a water sprayer, so no shower. We enjoyed the binder showing the process of refurbishing this caboose and the historical artifacts throughout. The outside gave plenty of privacy and space to relax with a firepit and a hot tub. There is a small freezer/ fridge, the neatest kuereg, and microwave. There is not a stove, but it isn't really needed with all the food options in town. Bath towels are provided, but you will need to bring swim towels for the Blue Hole. Favorite Vrbo to date!

    On our final night there was a gay pride event just feet away from doorway with hooping and hollering and loud speakers blaring music till 10 o’clock PM. I understand Austin is only 30 minutes away but we didn’t expect that scenario in Wimberly. We will never return.
