We stayed overnight for our son's 6th birthday. The location is so close to everything downtown and what a great novelty place to stay! The bed was super comfortable and the view was great! We wish it had not been so cold the night we stayed because we wanted to check out the firepit! If you are looking for a unique place to stay, this is a great choice!
The caboose was as described. It was nice and comfortable. There is some noise from the factory below but you could hardly hear it inside. The setting inside was very neat and clean. The neighborhood was ok.
I was looking for a unique spot for a 2-night stay while transiting through VA and this was perfect! I was working remotely so my main criteria was the Wi-Fi, which was strong and fast (180+ Mbps), and a comfortable place from which to work; I alternated between the window counter and the couch (quite comfortable) and never felt restless.
The location makes the place feel pretty private and secluded since it's just the river and factory in front of you. I appreciated the reviewer who suggested binoculars; I really enjoyed watching the factory at work as well as the birds and turkey vultures. During my stay the factory forklifts (which I didn't realize were so big until I saw a regular one pull up next to it!) were quite active 24/7. No factory or train noise bothered me but the beeping from the forklifts did mean I had to sleep with ear plugs; however, the provided ear plugs were comfortable and worked really well! I couldn't even hear the white noise machine after I'd put them in. If you're sensitive to light and like to sleep in late you'll want to bring an eye mask.
The kid in me really got a kick out of entering and exiting the caboose through the rear door. The shower was nice and the towels were super soft. I didn't use the kitchen much beyond making oatmeal & coffee but it had everything you might need. Communication with the host was easy and fast. If in the area I'd definitely look at this property again or one of the host's other properties!
We had a wonderful two night stay at the James. It was spotless and exactly how it was pictured and described. The location is perfect. We walked downtown and to the River Front. We canât wait to stay again!
We really enjoyed staying at the caboose. The decor was aesthically pleasing while being very comfortable and the rental had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.
We loved our stay in the train (Caboose). It was such a unique experience. Everything inside and out is decorated lovely, tastefully. They offer ear plugs for sleeping to help with the noise outside, I did use them and had the best night sleep in a long time. Plus one of the best features for me was the amazing shower! Sometimes itâs just the little things. You would love a stay at the train!
The Caboose was exactly what was described. Very clean and welcoming.the view overlooking the James river was memorizing. Slight noise from the factory below but not bad at all. History in the making! We loved our stay and will be back! Thank you for your hospitality!
The Caboose was exactly as described except better! We loved it. It is in a historic area of town. The view is phenomenal, the amenities are everything that is needed and it felt like home. We would stay here again. Thank you for opening the Caboose to us.
I cannot say enough good things about both this property and the host. Terrific experience and a magical renovation of an old train classic caboose. My wife and I stayed here and were blown away by the attention to detail. Thank you All Belong Co.
This goes down as one of my favorite places ever. They care so much about your stay at this funky, unique, so-many-things-yet-simple, caboose. Local milk in the fridge, treats waiting to be eaten, really great things-in-the-area notebookâŠand they even have speakers for your bluetooth if you want to drown out occasional noise! I canât wait to go back, truly a special experience.
Absolutely wonderful experience!!!!!! We will be planning on coming back! Clean, beautiful, peaceful, romantic!!!! Lots of little thoughtful extras provided to make us feel right at home! Thank you for sharing your property with us!!!!
