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.
Love how they have turned this caboose into a wonderful getaway! The kids loved staying up on the cupola and we all loved the porch for watching trains and playing games. The decor is lovely and the caboose is clean. The kitchen was great for making dinner. The bathroom/shower was bigger than expected. Love the privacy of the while place. Thank you!
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 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 donât happen to be train enthusiasts but if you are this is the perfect place!
Unique experience staying in the yellow caboose! Itâs located on a hill that overlooks the train tracks and from afar you can see the traffic on hwy 58. The deck is perfect for sitting and enjoying the wildlife (deer) and for birdwatching. Indoors everything is perfectly furnished and immaculately clean. Itâs a cozy VRBO and weâd book it again. Hosts respond quickly to any questions which was very much appreciated.
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.
100% recommended. Loved the novelty of staying in a caboose, but itâs more than meets the eye. Super well done, clean and well kept. We look forward to coming back!
Hands down the best property weâve stayed at.
Easy check in and checkout. The caboose was great! Treats and ear plugs were a great touch. Was my wifeâs birthday weekend and the owners left her a birthday card. We loved our stay and will definitely do it again.
Such a wonderful experience. The caboose was converted with accurate detail to history. It would be a wonderful place to visit for train buffs! There is even a radio inside that picks up current transmissions between train engineers as they go by on the track below. The deck on the evening provides cool breezes and a nice view. This one is a winner!
This place is amazing. Perfectly designed and constructed. Every inch of this place is so well done. Itâs a perfect Tehachapi experience too. The owners are organized and thorough, which made the whole trip so easy. We will be back!
The Caboose is the very definition of ârepurposedâ when it comes to Art, History and modern day comforts of home all in one unique package. The hosts Dan & Janine really went all-out to refurbish the Caboose into a very comfortable and modern living space, but kept all the authentic features of a genuine train caboose! This is the place for both nature lovers and those who appreciate the trains and trucks on the highway that deliver America's economy. Safe, private, comfortable and very relaxing, this Caboose is unique on VRBO.
We film nightscapes, and despite the light-pollution of LA nearby, the dark skies of Tehachapi were beautiful. We have a video that "You" can see on the "Tube" called Tehachapi Caboose if you want to see more of this beautiful rental. We loved the place and the hosts. This is really the ideal retreat for a couple who wants to get away from town. Thanks again Dan & Janine for your hospitality and great efforts making this rental so pleasurable!
This is a wonderful place to stay with pretty views. So much care and attention has been put into transforming the caboose into a unique experience. The place is very clean, the bed so comfortable, and communication pleasurable. The large deck is an added bonus. Bring binoculars if you enjoy bird watching. Whether you are a train enthusiast or not make sure to visit the Tehachapi Loop.
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!
What an amazing place to stay if you are a fan of trains. This 1955 Caboose has been beautifully restored! It is located overlooking the train tracks, and you are treated to different trains making their way through the area. The caboose is very clean, and their eye to detail is amazing! A very unique, relaxing and fun stay! The owners are very friendly, easy to work with! We will be returning!
They did an amazing job rennovating this caboose into a cozy get away. The location is incredible with the view of the mountains, passing trains, and wildlife. Everything was above and beyond our expectations. While the caboose puts you just far away from everything for a nice retreat but all the shops and restaurants in town were just a short drive away. My family had an awesome time staying here and we cant recommend it enough. We will definitely be back in the summer!
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 exceptional restoration of this caboose. Everything you can want/need is put into this build with love, sweat, and dedication. I canât express how thankful I am to the owners for letting the public share this once in a lifetime experience. I have never stayed in a caboose until now. It has a full bathroom, shower, kitchen, dining table, sleeping for 4. The views are immaculate, the trains are awesome if you are a Railfan. And when all the doors and windows close you canât really hear the horn if you want some shuteye. So that is a bonus. I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for something different, fun, adventurous, and not in a boring basic hotel. 5 stars.
