"Okay - speaking as the wife of a train buff, staying here as a birthday surprise was a no brainer. The question was - would I regret it? Is a vacay stay in a caboose comfortable or just kitschy?
It was a blast. The grounds are gorgeous. The view? Clear Lake! What’s not to like? A fun pool on campus (with abundant floats - I was big on the giant pink flamingo) and access to stand up paddle boards and kayaks for the lake. Dock access to the lake is right across the street if lake sports are in your plan.
Is there kitsch involved? OF COURSE there is, you signed up to sleep in a caboose! Each caboose has a theme which you can choose on their website when booking your stay. But it’s well planned with comfortable amenities, clean as can be with a wonderful
and knowledgeable staff to guide your stay with food and activity recommendations.
Breakfast was plentiful and delicious. We stayed right after start of school which means it wasn’t packed and all there were adult. But it’s clear this place would be really fun for kids. I keep thinking with the plethora of cabooses (cabeese?), what a terrific locale for a family reunion or multi family get together. Max capacity, 27 guests.
We will visit again."
