Nice quiet location. Pet friendly. Easy walk to town and the waterfront. Inside was clean and comfortable. I've always wanted a caboose since I was a kid so this stay was special.
Fun property in prime location. Ideal for families or a private getaway. Our only real complaint was a glaring lack of hot water which isn't mentioned (that I saw) until we arrived.
Very unique place, our family had a great time at the Caboose, especially the kids!!
Great location within walking distance to downtown restaurants, pubs & shopping.
Fun property to stay at and one we will remember for a while. Small but clean and had everything we needed. Easy walk to downtown shops and restaurants.
It was a cool experience to stay in the train, the only thing I would change is the shower, small hot water tank so what they call a Navy shower lol (get wet shut water off soap up and then turn water back on to rinse) but I would definitely recommend staying with this host!
We had such a great time visiting Boyne City and staying at the Red Caboose a couple of years ago, I decided to book us for Labor Day weekend this year for a last summer Hurrah! So glad we did. We really enjoy summertime in Boyne City and surrounding area. The Caboose is great fun, well kept, has all we need for the long weekend. Looking forward to returning for a third trip!
We loved the opportunity to stay in this caboose! It had everything we needed for a pleasant stay in this historical caboose. It is small - and don't plan to cook any meals - but there are many wonderful restaurants in walking distance. It is a wonderful place to stay to enjoy all that Boyne City has to offer in the summer, including a nearby beach.

Quiet. Great location. Nicely done inside. Bunk beds are sturdy but a bit narrow for an adult. Claw foot tub is lovely. Lock box convenient. A fun experience overall.
We throughly enjoyed our stay in this unique property! Marty has down an amazing job outfitting the caboose! It is comfortable, cozy and even contains some historic railroad memorabilia. An added plus is the close proximity to the downtown area.
Communication with Marty was seamless and efficient.
Highly recommend if you are looking for a unique experience!
We had great fun staying in the caboose! It was very clean and offered lots of interest for us all. Great to see the restoration and renovation to make the most of the space. Very comfortable. Great location a short walk to downtown and the water.
