Experience fabulous and unique Sequim lodging at Olympic Railway Inn where you stay not just in a room, but your own private caboose!

Be part of history and see for yourself what it was like to live in an actual railroad caboose. They are perfect for family trips, romantic getaways and mini breaks from the big city's everyday life.
While Olympic Railway Inn feels just the right amount of secluded, you are still only 2 miles away from local grocery stores and shopping. Jardin du Soleil Lavender Farm is only 5 miles out and is next to Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge, that is home to over 250 species of endangered birds, fish and mammals. Dungeness Spit is one of the longest natural spits in the world. In addition to its own natural beauty, it is a great spot for bird watching. While you are staying at the Inn, be sure to check out Olympic Discovery Trail that is located just steps away from cabooses. The route spans around 135 miles between Port Townsend and La Push on the Pacific Coast. As of 2021, 90 miles of the trail have been developed into a complete path. Besides the rail cars, your kids will have a blast exploring the Olympic Game Farm, a drive-through wildlife exhibit, where animals come right up to your vehicle! The Inn is equidistant from the Victorian Seaport of Port Townsend to the East and Port Angeles, gateway to the Olympic National Park and Pacific Coast beaches, to the West. Take a short ferry ride from Port Angeles and visit a foreign country- Canada, there’s so much to see and do!
After a great day of exploring, return to the most unique lodging on the peninsula, private cabooses at Olympic Railway Inn, complete with tubs to soothe your aches from all the day's adventures. Being only 30 minutes away from northern entrance of Olympic National Park, the Inn is your perfect stop on the way to/back from the park and it offers a not-so-distant weekend escape to relax, recharge and be one with nature.
