Great weekend getaway!!
I came here with my partner and dog as a little vacation we could fit in our schedules. It was everything I hoped for!! We couldn't go out much because we had the dog with us, but it wasn't even an issue because we had such a relaxing time on the property. Sunny days were great on the porch but the enclosed hot tub during a thunderstorm was the highlight!! Definitely would love to come back in the winter season.

Lovely experience!
I loved everything about this place! It was really cute and cosy for a short getaway with my boyfriend. It was so relaxing sitting in the hot tub listening to the birds chirp in the early morning and evening. John was a great host with all the thoughtful items he provided us at the caboose. We barely needed to contact him because we were well provided for during our entire time there. Thank you for the lovely stay John! Highly recommended!

Peaceful weekend getaway
The hot tub was great! Our favorite part was just hanging on the deck and drinking wine while the kids ran around and played.

Relaxing Retreat
Advertised as a 'romantic' getaway - I must point out that it's PERFECT for individual relaxation/downtime - so cozy and peaceful! I believe the accommodations were better than advertised - but keep in mind that the main 'bed' is a futon, so not everyone would find that comfortable. John provided more than essentials, and the place is so cute, with sweet attention to quality & style! You can just stay put OR make little adventures in the 'driftless'. I enjoyed a trip to Lansing, IA and crossing the Mississippi. I drove a 'loop' both sides of the river ...all in one afternoon. And I loved seeing the baby geese with their parents on Rusk Creek on the road to the cabin. The Driftless Education Center, and Coffee on The River were my favorite stops. Be careful of the roller-coaster backroads :) - Best to travel in the daylight! And also, just because the caboose is stationary, doesn't mean you don't have to watch for VERY active train activity when you're out and about - it is part of the scenery, and the experience.

Weekend Getaway
We did NOT book a long enough stay! The caboose is adorable! It was decorated well, clean, quiet and just what we needed for a weekend to unwind and relax. We didnt have enough time to explore the area, but will be back at some point when its warmer to do just that! Highly recommended this property!
