About this property

Little Red Caboose with a View in the Scenic Columbia River Gorge

About this space
Our little red caboose is located in the Columbia Gorge Scenic area, just 20 miles east of Portland, OR, and just a few miles east of Troutdale. It has its own bathroom with shower and a kitchenette, a queen bed in the main area & a double bed in the cupola. The caboose rests on 7+ acres, with a beautiful view, in a private park-like setting. There is lots to do in the area, hiking, biking, windsurfing, shopping and music and art events. There are also great restaurants and food carts in nearby Troutdale.
The space
A completely renovated, authentic railroad caboose, on a short piece of railroad track, resting on 7+ acres in the Columbia River Gorge, with a scenic view. The caboose has its own bathroom with shower and a kitchenette, a queen bed in the main area & a double bed in the cupola. There is a private deck off of the caboose, and a private picnic and campfire area next to the caboose.
Guest access
Complete and private use of the caboose, which has its own bathroom and kitchenette, as well as its own private picnicking and campfire space just outside of the caboose, and a private deck off of the back of the caboose. Cell phone reception is very good at our hill top location and there is also Wi Fi available. The TV has a fire-stick which can access Amazon Prime, etc and there are DVDs available in the caboose, including proclaimed top 10 train movies. Laundry facilities in the main house can be made available upon request and advance notice.
Other things to note
Sleeping in the cupola (2nd sleeping area) requires climbing up a ladder. The bed in the cupola is a 4' wide, 7' long, with 2 layers of 4" thick foam mattress. The caboose is often unavailable December through February, due to the winter weather conditions on the bluff where it is located.

Great stay at the Caboose
We had the best time here. It’s gorgeous and just outside of Portland. Easy to get to from the airport. Beautiful view with excellent host. The host makes you feel welcome and leaves special treats and makes sure you have everything you need for the morning. Thanks to the hosts!

Worked well
Small, so be prepared. But we just needed a base camp to sleep while we were out and about and this worked perfect and was cute. My 12 year old loved the loft and my teen had room on the pad on the floor in front of the bed. Enjoyed the cornhole outside and the horses as well. Nice and quiet area but close to freeway and Troutdale as well. Thanks for everything!

It was a wonderful weekend escape so great for solo or couples. Jennifer provides the small touches that sets the caboose apart from other blaze short term rentals. Wonderful place would stay and recommend again especially for solace seekers

Absolutely amazing!
What a magical place! Our stay here was amazing. This was our first ever experience using VRBO and we could not be happier. The interior of the caboose is cozy and welcoming with a well-outfitted kitchen, bathroom, main bedroom, and sleeping loft. The train decor added a charming touch and the caboose is full of lots of extra special touches like that, such as a record player with a fun record collection and train-themed movies with a DVD player. The back deck and fire pit area both offer terrific places to eat, relax, and hangout. The property is absolutely beautiful with gorgeous views in an idyllic and peaceful country setting complete with farm fields, sunflowers, and grazing horses. Conveniently located just minutes away from the Sandy river, parks, and Troutdale, it was the perfect “home base” for us during our vacation. We would absolutely stay here again and plan on returning here in the future. Highly recommend!

A Delight!
What a beautiful little place! It is charming with so much personality and sweetness. Jennifer’s little touches of kindness and love were left everywhere and my husband and I felt so dearly welcomed. The caboose was clean and very ready for guests. The surroundings are stunning and it is all so quiet and peaceful. It was a pleasure to stay there, and we look forward to returning.
