Train vacation rentals in North America

This is the second time that we have stayed with Donnie. The first time was in one of the cabooses. This time we stayed in The Depot. Both of these places were as described and pictured! I had good enough phone service that we did not miss having WiFi and there was cable for television. I had two children with me, an eight year old and a twelve year old, and they were both fine there! And we could look out the front door and see Buffalo Mountain. Because of Hurricane Helene damage, we did not get to go there but it was not for lack of trying! Sunday morning before we left, I got to see a deer in the pasture behind the depot! And some beautiful sunrises!

We wanted to do something unique & different for our anniversary & this did NOT disappoint. From the “main” road you can see the 3 red cabooses up on the hill & our hearts smiled. They recently had storms & we could see where the flood waters deteriorated the sides of the driveway but it was still wide enough for us to pass another small vehicle if needed. Office Check in was a breeze and took less than five mins before we were standing in our getaway train(caboose) which is on a real track! We were the only ones staying this weekend but if others were present, there was plenty of room. Our furbabies throughly enjoyed having a large field in front of the cabooses to run in. The views from the swings were breathtaking especially during the sunsets. Once Inside, we enjoyed the comforts of home (except for a stove). The hotness of the water & the relaxing hot tub added to our experience. Some things were dated but that is to come with the territory. We hope to visit again in the fall.

Awesome little caboose in the forest, really secluded. So cozy. Must visit

Such a cool place to spend the night! So unique!!

Cheryl's place was fantastic! The caboose was so cute and cozy. Beautiful surroundings and so peaceful. We enjoyed all the animals. The bison feeding was fun to watch, Cheryl's parents provided a lot of interesting facts about the bison. Looking forward to going back and taking the grandkids!

The Caboose was the best! Super easy check in and the place had wood built in the fire pit, a s’mores kit ready, snacks, wine, and even our name on the board. We felt at home immediately. Also although our hosts were out of town, the locals were so kind and checked in on us multiple times. Our kids loved the space and enjoyed the ground immensely and we slept like babies. Highly recommend the caboose to others and hope we can stay again!!

Beautiful location, place as described. Jacuzzi was great. Lots of hot water. Good water pressure, good shower. Bed was comfortable. Donnie was helpful and responsive.

Clean! Smelled great too. Geat distance (within 10min) to hiking (Ash Cave) in one direction and then a pizzeria with all kinds of drinks and snacks in the other. On a fairly traveled road in front, but also a great small space to explore right behind and firepit. Well kept! It was great for our young family. Very fun.

There are rare moments when human creativity, care, and brilliance converge so seamlessly that words feel inadequate — this stay was one of those moments. From the first turn onto the gravel drive, flanked by endless green pastures and grazing cattle, every detail felt like stepping into a living work of art. The etched stone signage, the winding wooded path, and finally, the majestic Caboose—restored and repurposed with stunning craftsmanship—captured our imagination instantly. Traditional lantern lighting accented its charm, standing proudly against the landscape. Inside, the thoughtful design overwhelmed us: a beautiful scent, a lofted retreat, exquisite bathroom, outdoor and indoor showers, digital art feature, and luxurious king-sized bed. Every label, every touch from the homemade bread to the curated local guide spoke volumes of the heart behind this place. Though 40 minutes from our family, it was beyond worth it. A stay here is not just lodging—it’s an Unforgettable memory!

It is such a cool place to stay, almost a little gem in La Junta! Super cute and fun

Everything was just as it was listed. Beautiful clean peaceful. We had a relaxing time loved it. Highly recommend. 😊😁

Bryan's place isn't just a "place," it's an experience, and an amazing one! The careful and meticulous rehabilitation of a piece of railroad history into one of the coziest and easily the most memorable Airbnbs we have ever stayed at was apparent in every detail. The proximity to Marietta is perfect, being an easy, short drive away, with Bryan's property being very private and peaceful. For anyone driving an EV, there is a 220v NEMA 14 plug on-site that worked perfectly with the standard GM dual-level charger. Truly an amazing time Bryan, thank you so much, and we'll have to back soon to try out the blue caboose!

Fantastic place! This home is in a quiet neighborhood with a family friendly feel. The home is an old train car. It’s very unique and absolutely adorable!!! Love the decor and the porch swing. Enjoyed our stay and will definitely book again when we visit again 🚂

What can I say about staying on a 1920s luxury Pullman Train Car? What an adventure. We are "Harvey Heads," folks that seek out Fred Harvey hotels and restaurants. Just across the road from The Hamilton is a wonderful (weekends only) eating place, The Legal Tender, renovated beautifully by the amazing Alan Affeldt team (also did La Posada in Winslow; Plaza and La Castaneda in Las Vegas NM). Yes, the narrow hallway and the compactness take some getting used to, but what an exciting venture. We fretted a bit about supplies for cooking on the train as Lamy is truly where "Pavement Ends, West Begins." The pantry was much more thoroughly stocked than we expected: spices, flour, pancake syrup, LOTS of salt and pepper, baking soda/powder. Of course, coffee and tea in good supply. We did bring oil for cooking and salads. We had a blast prepping dinner in the small kitchen, each couple taking the lead for menu planning and preparation. In spite of high winds during our stay, the train was snug

Very cute and unique spot for a weekend getaway. Close to Manitou Springs. The place was clean and as described, hot tub was an awesome plus. Definitely recommend!

What a beautiful spot! The views are breathtaking and the proximity to the water you just can’t get other places! Jarret was super accommodating when we asked for lawn chairs, and he had the kitchen fully stocked with dishes, pots/pans etc. Truly a hidden gem! The trains passing by were so cool and the noise didn’t bother us once we were asleep.

The caboose was perfect!! Very authentic while also being cute and cozy!! The location was rural but still close to town. Host was responsive and nice. Would definitely recommend!

Fantastic place to stay! Super peaceful and relaxing, and perfect for anyone who likes trains. Definitely wish we could’ve stayed longer, but we will be back!

We had a wonderful time. The place was amazing. You can sit outside and listen to the creek it is relaxing. Located right next to great food and a winery.

AWESOME PLACE TO GO AND TRAVEL TO. the town has lots of sight seeing and stores to go to. the Train was AMAZINGGGG a true dream come true for my childhood bucketlist!!!

we loved our stay, the caboose was beautiful and it was quiet everything was clean and put together very nicely. I’d give it a 10/10 we would love to stay here again!

These train cars have so much history and charm. Karla has really put so much thought and intent into the decor, the information and time period, and cozy comfort. Little touches like snacks, tea, coffee creamer, etc. beautiful plush towels and comfy beds and furniture. It felt so private and luxurious. The decks and surroundings are lovely and there really isn’t much around at all so it is so peaceful and quiet. I loved the guestbook too and felt so comfortable. Karla was also responsive and helpful, though I didn’t need much help at all because everything was so well thought out. The perfect get away for peace and solitude amid a cozy converted train car and caboose!

Our stay in the yellow caboose at the Train Wreck Inn is one my son nor I will ever forget! We went to stay there for his 5th birthday and he was so excited! We are already looking forward to going back and staying in the blue train car next time! The place was super peaceful and the small town was very neat and felt very safe! The courtyard area was very nice and the cornhole set made it so much fun with something to do out there and the hammock was nice to relax in too! We requested the TV for our weekend there but we did not even use it! So many great things to say about this place and can't wait to go back!

This place was lovely! In addition to all the comfy cozy furnishings inside the caboose there was great WiFi service and tv for when you are ready to tuck in for the night. This place shows the hearts and souls of the owners by their attention to detail and friendly care! I wished I could have extended my stay but there was already guests scheduled for the next day. I highly recommend this caboose air bnb and I plan to visit it again!
