This is such a cute place to stay, it was our first time here but we already have plans to go back. The caboose rooms are adorable, very clean & comfortable with parking right out front of each individual train car. Staff was super friendly & helpful, you can tell they really enjoy working there. The weather wasn't great so we missed out on the petting zoo & buggy rides, definitely looking forward to both next time.

I have been visiting The Red Caboose Motel several times per year ever since the current owners purchased the property in 2016. I am a railfan that enjoys train related things including sleeping in a caboose at The Red Caboose Motel. Rooms are comfortable, dining at the onsite Casey Jones Restaurant has always been a pleasant experience for me and the Pennsylvania Dutch atmosphere of the surrounding area along with the close proximity to The Strasburg Railroad and The Railroad Museum of PA. To sum up, an enjoyable stay as usual and I will return soon.

The check in and staff is wonderful, the convenience of having so much to do around like the horse carriage on site makes the experience different. The only thing, is during winter they should winterized the caboons better, and deep clean the carpets. They do give you a room warmer, and you can control the thermostat. Most is just covering holes where the cold air comes in. Like air-conditioning.

This is a unique place, lodging is in 43 re-claimed rail cars, mainly cabooses. As such, it is very well maintained and designed to capture the atmosphere of a bygone era that many people might have thought of only in their fantasies. It's designed for families with young kids to capture elements that they will make memories from, it's not a luxury resort for adults, so don't expect that. They work hard to make a nice place and allow kids,and parents to see and experience things they would never otherwise have an opportunity to know.
