-- The Space --
This 1972 built caboose was purchased from the Illinois Central Railroad after it was decommissioned, went to the Monticello Railway Museum and subsequently moved to this property in 2006. It has since been tastefully renovated with a full bathroom, clawfoot tub and large living area with sink, fridge and microwave. The private deck has a hot tub on it where you can relax and spend time with your favorite person. Staying here feels like stepping into the past where history comes to life with every charming detail.
One of the best things about this property is its proximity to exploration and attractions. You can head deeper into the mountains and visit Woodland Park or down into Colorado Springs within 10 minutes. Some of the highlights close by:
- Pikes Peak
- Garden of the Gods
- Cheyenne Mountain Zoo
- United States Olympic & Paralympic Museum
- Manitou Incline
- U.S. Air Force Academy
- North Cheyenne Cañon Park
- Glen Eyrie Castle
- Seven Falls
- Hiking Trails
- Mountain Lakes
We fully stock the caboose with coffee, tea, seasonings, dishes, soaps, shampoo, conditioner, towels and propane for the BBQ grill. Wi-Fi is provided and the smart TV has a couple paid streaming services logged in and others available.
We don't ask our guests to complete any chores upon checkout so you can make the most of your day.
The living area has plenty of space to cuddle up and read a good book, eat dinner, play games, or watch a movie. The yard on the property has plenty of space for activities.
Whether you're looking for a cozy snowy winter retreat, visiting the mountains to see the fall colors or an adventure filled summer vacation the caboose can make your dreams a reality!
-- Guest Access --
Booked guests and pets enjoy private access to the entire caboose, deck, hot tub and BBQ grill. You are welcome to wander around the 2 acre property and wade in the stream
-- Pet Fee --
We allow pets. If you are traveling with pets please select "I am traveling with pets" at time of booking
-- Other Details --
This is a historic caboose has an evaporative cooler and fan for comfort, not AC. Thanks to the high elevation, shade from surrounding hills and trees, and the nearby creek, cool and refreshing air flows naturally, especially at night. These elements combine to make heat rarely a concern only for the most heat sensitive

Summary: Fabulous trip, beautiful country, awesome caboose. The location is ideal for day trips to many great places. The caboose is just the right size for two. As we don’t like to eat every meal out, having the grill, mini fridge, and microwave was a huge help. We also greatly enjoyed the hot tub and used it everyday. The lot size was smaller than anticipated but still enjoyable.
