About this property

Located just outside of Fayetteville along Gatewood Road, the New York Central caboose is a completely renovated steel caboose. The train car has been thoughtfully converted to a tiny house and is located right next to Cantrell Rafting. The caboose has one bedroom with a full size bed, a loft area accessed by a ladder with a twin mattress and a futon in the living room. This cute rental is located next across the street from the Top of The Hill cabin, next door to the C&O Caboose at Cantrell Station, and next door to Cantrell Ultimate Rafting.

If you have a larger group and are interested in booking both cabooses contact us for a discounted rate.

The caboose is minutes from some of the areas best trails, Long Point, Endless Wall, Kaymore, Beauty Mountain, and the Arrowhead bike trails to name a few.

Fun place to stay

Caboose was a great little place to stay. It was close to the National Park, and was also close to some great spots to do some rail fanning. John the owner was great with communion, and also was great at suggesting some local places to check out. Thanks so much!

Small but perfect!

My son and I stayed in the Caboose for our spring break adventure in New River National Park. Perfect location near the park as well as town. Plenty of room for 2 people. Would 100% come back.

Cute, unique stay

We stayed in the NYC train. The train was clean and well stocked with everything that you could need. Had extra blankets, snacks and plenty of coffee options. We went whitewater rafting which was literally steps from the train. The owners manage the trains and were very nice. They invited us to help ourselves to some tomatoes they are growing.

About the host

Hosted by John Taylor

I grew up coming to Fayetteville and fell in love with the area. The views, the adventure, the adrenaline are second to none. I also grew up playing with Lionel trains and walking down to the train tracks and putting pennies on the rails. That combination led to a pair of Cabooses (or are the cabeese?) along Gatewood Road.

Why they chose this property

In 2013 we built a cabin across the road, and in 2017 we had the opportunity to buy the property across the street. We spent the next five years trying to think of something different for our guest. We stumbled across a pair of old railroad cabooses and renovated them.
