No detail was ignored to allow for a truly unique getaway experience. (Figure of speech. The caboose does not actually go anywhere) Though located adjacent to our also-historic general store-turned antique store, Black Bear Creek Antiques, you will have lots of privacy and space to call your own; private entrance, dedicated parking, waterfall and mountain spring creek just 20 feet away, and easy access to great restaurants (Five of the Top 10 Chefs in GA have restaurants within 10 miles of here) and shopping in nearby Clayton, and all the natural wonders the area has to offer.
Awesome little gem. Lots of cool vintage train stuff to look at all over the place. In evening very quit and peaceful. Gives you a really good feel if you were looking to live in a tiny house.
First, Jim (the owner) was awesome! He was very easy to deal with and was extremely accommodating. Second, the property is amazing. Jim really spared no expense in restoring the train car and you can really tell that he paid very special attention to all the little details. You’re gonna love this place just like we did!
Most unique room I've ever stayed in! Host was very attentive to our needs!
Our stay was wonderful, jim was very polite and he has a nice caboose to be proud of. We have told family and friends about our wonderful stay
We really enjoyed our stay in the historic caboose. Although small, we had all we needed for a comfortable stay. Jim has thought of everything you need. The separate bathroom was cute and very functional, as well as only a few steps from the back door. If you are looking for an unique experience, this is a must stay!
Everything about our weekend was great. Jim was very helpful and put a lot of thought into every aspect of the caboose. We took advantage of almost every amenity provided. Even though it was almost freezing outside, it was very warm in the caboose, and the restroom came with a heater as well. Our favorite part was the breakfast nook. It takes some dexterity to get up there, but the view was beautiful. This is the perfect place for a couple to comfortably enjoy the mountains of North Georgia.
Love the Caboose, owner, amenities, and communications with owner.
Absolutely wonderful stay in this historic caboose! We selected this property for the local scenery and ended up more than delighted with the accommodations. Jim, our host, has seen to every detail and takes great pride in keeping this unique location in pristine condition. He has attended to every detail which made our stay very comfortable. Highly recommended!
The Caboose was perfect getaway for the weekend. It was clean and comfy. Close to outdoor adventures. Thank you Mr. Reaves for a great stay!
Can't say enough about the caboose and Jim! The Caboose was such a great experience. It's beyond cozy and accommodating. I'm not a train enthusiast, but was blown away by all the cool memorabilia that was in it. Main Street is only a 5min drive away. Jim is the best. Great host!! Make sure to check out his shop next door.
We really enjoyed staying in the caboose. Jim was an awesome host. The place was very clean and very unique. It was definitely an experience. You can learn a lot of stuff by just walking in to the place and looking at all the unique stuff on the walls, Jim was very knowledgeable of a lot of things as well and it was awesome Howell they turned a silo into the bathroom. Anything you would need Jim would go out of his way for you. Definitely something everyone should try
My husband loves trains so I had to bring him here for our 30th anniversary. Jim was the most amazing host and made sure our stay was a special and memorable one. The attention to detail is remarkable. The entire place was immaculate. I was pleasantly surprised to find a microwave and refrigerator provided. The location is great and we so enjoyed shopping in the antique store on the property. We purchased some special items to remember our stay. This was such a fun experience and we look forward to returning in the future. I cannot recommend this beautiful place and host more.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this historic caboose! It’s so well-appointed throughout with perfectly chosen train-related antiques and all the creature comforts. The silo bathroom is especially cool—so creative, eclectic, and functional. Jim, your wonderful host, set us up with a roaring fire in the fire pit and shared great conversation. We highly recommend this opportunity to stay in a unique piece of history!
The accommodations and the owner could not have been any nicer. Would definitely recommend the caboose to anyone and especially train enthusiasts.
Great place host very helpful will highly recommend
Not your usual hum-drum hotel. Why stay in a dreary room when you can stay in a caboose and bathe in a grain silo up in the mountains!? Pleasant outdoor sitting area. Close to town with good food and lovely drives. Bonus antiquing on the property. Owner super nice and very helpful. He's always around if you need anything.
