Much better than expected! Loved how they incorporated the train car into a living space and the rest of the cottage. Very clean and walking distance to everything downtown. We will defiantly book again.
This was a great idea, to transform an old caboose into a vrbo. It is right in the middle of Saluta, NC. We really enjoyed staying in the caboose and will definitely book it again in the future.
My best friend and I stayed in the caboose for the weekend and enjoyed Saluda and the nearby hiking. It was wonderful to be able to walk to restaurants and the place was beautiful.Communication with host was top notch!!! Makes me want to move to Saluda!!! :)
We really enjoyed staying at the Caboose. Great location for the areas we like to visit. Loved all the detail inside and outside! Great master addition. Look forward to another visit in the future. The weather prevented us from being able to fully enjoy the outside. We did enjoy the little time we did !
This was our second stay in the caboose. We loved it as much as first - WE LOVED IT! Managers are responsive. Property is well maintained and equipped. I could spend all day on the front porch and all evening on the rooftop deck overlooking town. Look forward to visiting again in the future.
Enjoyed our stay at the Caboose and our first time in Saluda. There's lots of great hiking and cute little shops close by. Host was very responsive with any questions we had.
We were impressed with the cleanliness of the property! We loved the rooftop fire pit.
Be aware that during rafting season, the nearby rafting company starts up around 7:30am.
We didn't want to leave!! Such an amazing place in a really great town. The Caboose was so warm and cozy. It has everything we needed. The rooftop deck was so great in the evenings. A great little piece history. I have already recommended it to all our friends.
We had another great time at the caboose. As always it was easy to check in and it was clean and well stocked. We had a great time and hope to be back soon.
As a major Southern Railway buff, having the opportunity to stay in Central of Georgia X-61was simply outstanding. The mix of modern / rustic decor and the railroad history is just right. The way that this Caboose has been preserved and re-imagined, while being historically accurate, provides every comfort of home imaginable with some bouses!
It was an exceptional birthday surprise and I look forward to returning.
Although modified on the inside to better accomodate guests, it is a REAL caboose complete with trucks and couplers. Did wish it had the potbelly stove for nostalgia sake, but enjoyed breakfast in the cupola. Bedroom and bath off the side was spaceous. Weather and time prevented use of the upper deck. Parking in back was "difficult" for large pickup truck, but simply parked in front at the operating railroad signal. Highly recommend the experience and the area.
The property is within walking distance to restaurants and shops. If you have a truck or large vehicle the parking behind the caboose is very tight and turning around takes a bit more than a 03 point turn.
We unfortunately had to cut short our stay after one night due to an emergency back home but I canât imagine a nicer place to stay in Saluda. I hope we have an opportunity to return.
