Located just outside of Fayetteville along Gatewood Road, the C&O caboose is a completely renovated steel caboose. The train car has been thoughtfully converted to a tiny house and is located right next to Cantrell Rafting. The caboose has one bedroom with a full size bed, a loft area accessed by a ladder with a twin mattress and a futon in the living room. This cute rental is located across the street from the Top of The Hill cabin, next door to the New York Central Caboose at Cantrell Station, and Cantrell Ultimate Rafting.

The C&O Caboose features a large patio, a covered patio with picnic tables, an outdoor fire ring, and a charcoal grill. The building is used for storage at this time.

If you have a larger group and are interested in renting both of our cabooses please contact us for a discount rate.

    The Red Caboose was a very fun & unique rental. Super clean & well equipped. The host, John, is super responsive. Would stay again! Great location, close to so many outdoor activities.

    Caboose was great. Host communicated well. We loved it! There were games, extra blankets (THANK YOU!), starter coffee, and the entire caboose was super cute. Location could not have been better.

    We loved our stay at The Caboose! It was such a fun and unique place to stay — clean, cozy, and full of charm. The setting was peaceful, and the attention to detail made it feel really special. Perfect for a quick getaway or a weekend adventure. Would definitely stay again!

    Check In was a breeze. Location is ideal. My 4 y/o loved staying inside of a “choo choo”. The caboose was clean and the oversized Connect 4 game was a great pass time for the kids. The only reason I didn’t give an overall 5 stars is because the master bed and the couch were very uncomfortable. Other than that, we enjoyed it immensley.

    Great location, close to Fayetteville and the bridge. Key code door lock made check in a breeze, and no extra key to carry or lose. Super clean, nice patio area with chairs, picnic tables, grill, and fire pit. Our House restaurant and pub right next door, owned by the same folks, and within stumbling distance ;). Live music on the weekends may not be everyone's cup of tea, still pretty loud, even inside the accommodations.

    My 14-year-old son and I very much enjoyed our stay in the Caboose! This was our third trip to Fayetteville, and staying in the Caboose made it extra-special. The loft was his “room,” while I enjoyed the room with the double bed. Everything was very clean, and we appreciated all of the amenities. The kitchenette was fully stocked with a small fridge, microwave, sink, dishes/silverware, and keurig coffee maker. The smart tv was exactly what my teen was looking for, and the outdoor space was great! It’s minutes from the best that Fayetteville has to offer. We didn’t go rafting on this trip, but Cantrell’s is literally in your backyard, if you stay here. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    Took my mom on a road trip vacation, and this was our first nights stay. She was stunned when we pulled up. She couldn't believe we were staying in a caboose. She loved it!

    This is just what you expect from the photos. Fits a family of 3. Location is close to everything in the area. Cute decor and almost everything you can ever need when staying away from home. Great communication with John, the host. Futon not the most comfortable to sleep on. Hard to figure out what to keep the temp on before it gets too hot or cool with the place being so small.

    The caboose was right next to Cantrell rafting which was great we were able to walk over for our rafting trip. There was a really good discount coupon for the sxs rides at Midland outdoor Adventure and Audie was absolutely fabulous ! The caboose was very clean and the owner was the best!

    Our little family was looking for a unique experience while traveling to National Parks. This place was the perfect little retreat. Its just off the beaten path, but also close to anything and everything you could need or want to explore. The host was always quick to respond and gave us a ton of things to check out with our tiny adventurer. We had a wonderful experience and it was just what we were looking for.

    Caboose was clean & a nice place to stay for a couple nights while visiting the New River Gorge. Would recommend to others staying in the area with 1 or 2 young children especially if you plan to go white water rafting with Cantrell Ultimate Rafting. They are right next door.

    We loved staying for a short stay as a family of 4. Lots of little extras like outdoor jenga for teens to have fun with. Only area for improvement is a better pull out coach for sleeping a 4th person but perfect for 2 adults and 1 kid. Definitely a fun experience.

    My son and I loved the C & O caboose for our 2 night stay to break up our trek up north. It was comfortable and perfect for seeing the New River Gorge Bridge and whitewater rafting. The bed was comfortable and the kitchenette had everything we needed during our stay. The shower was surprisingly large. While we didn’t have a chance to make use of the outside space, it will be nice to have the fire pit and sitting areas & cornhole boards for future visits. Accessing the caboose was simple and easy.

    No complaints for our stay. We visit the area yearly so we’re familiar with town and activities. Location was great. Kids thought the caboose was quirky and fun

    We can’t wait to come back to the caboose! It was absolutely perfect for our weekend rafting get away. Easy to find, clean, and in the perfect location. Host was super helpful with food and hiking suggestions and Cantrell Rafting took us on what might be our favorite trip to date. Perfection!
