Cannot recommend this enough. The coolest railroad themed place that I have stayed on my train photography adventures for sure. It is comfortable, clean, the hosts are awesome and the porch is great for train watching. The interior is very well thought out and very well done. If you are thinking about staying here, just do it!
The caboose was so cute. All the decorations and detail were great. Loved that snacks on water were there on arrival. The AC worked great! The view on the patio was amazing. Host was responsive and easy to communicate with. Heard the train horns at night, but we loved it anyways. They provide earplugs. Great place for anyone that loves trains or just a unique place to stay!!
The caboose is beautifully renovated and makes a perfect place to hang out and watch trains in a great location. We look forward to coming back next year!

We absolutely loved our 2 night stay in the caboose. It was clean and spotless inside with everything you need to stay for a couple of days. There was a lot of rail traffic both day and night which is great if you are a railfan like me. We would absolutely stay here again should we ever visit Tehachapi in the future
We had the most wonderful stay. Our children were so excited to stay inside a newly restored caboose. We treasured every moment of it and can't wait to return! Thanks again!
What an awesome place for anyone who enjoys trains and watching them roll past daily. The caboose is done so nicely and what a treat it was. The entire experience is one that will be hard to top!! It’s a must go and experience for all train buffs!!
We had a wonderful stay at the Yellow Union Pacific Caboose. We found it to have everything we needed and very clean. Communication with host was great. Highly recommend if you are looking for a unique experience and love trains.
This place is amazing. Perfectly designed and constructed. Every inch of this place is so well done. It’s a perfect Tehachapi experience too. The owners are organized and thorough, which made the whole trip so easy. We will be back!

Thanks for the kind words Joseph. You are welcome back anytime.
This stay was a surprise for our son who has been obsessed with trains and the Tehachapi Loop is at the top for him. What an experience and one we will never forget. The caboose was perfect for us along with the details and hosts being available if needed.
Hands down the best property we’ve stayed at.
Easy check in and checkout. The caboose was great! Treats and ear plugs were a great touch. Was my wife’s birthday weekend and the owners left her a birthday card. We loved our stay and will definitely do it again.

Thanks for the kind words George. I hope your wife had a great birthday and got some rest and relaxation with all the train traffic and honking lol. We hope to see you again!!
We loved the caboose, it was spotless and comfortable. It is also within sight and sound of the very active train tracks. Ear plugs were provided which helped but it was not easy to sleep. We don’t happen to be train enthusiasts but if you are this is the perfect place!

Hello Casey I see you rated us 4 out of 5 stars. I am just curious what did not meet your 5 star expectation. I see you stated it was not easy to sleep however our description noted that we do not have control over the train traffic and noise. Pictures show how close the train is to the caboose and our reviews also mention the trains.
We did accept your special request of a one night stay to be given a 4 star review was just a shock to us as we feel we disclosed the train information and accommodated your special request to then receive our only 4 star review dropping our perfect 5 star status was very upsetting. Please let us know what else we could have done/said in our posting to make it so you would have understood better what to expect.
100% recommended. Loved the novelty of staying in a caboose, but it’s more than meets the eye. Super well done, clean and well kept. We look forward to coming back!
They did a great job of restoring this caboose and making it a great little getaway for those who love trains and want a cozy little place trackside to watch. So much interesting things to see and do around here, the caboose was filled with interesting pictures, books, and even a radio scanner to listen to the train crews. There was a beautiful deck to watch the trains passing by, and a comfortable bed to sleep in at night. We will definitely return!
