What a fun place to stay, especially with children. I went spur of the moment with my 10 year old girl; she loved the charm of the space and the bunkbeds. I loved the service and novelty of the neat space. We will be back soon with our whole family.

Great place!
The kids loved getting to sleep in a Caboose. It was very clean and comfortable. Kids each had their own bed. Our only issue was the cold floor. When temps dropped and wind picked up the carpeting on the floor did little to cover the cold. So if you are going in cooler weather take your slippers.

We had a wonderful weekend at the Red Caboose! My children enjoyed our cozy caboose room, feeding the animals and eating at the restaurant. The staff is so friendly and accommodating. The property is convenient located near many local attractions. Would definitely recommend!

Great for kids
As train enthusiasts, we really enjoyed our stay at the Red Caboose Motel. Great location in the country with easy access to Railroad Museum of PA and the National Toy Train Museum, spending the night in a caboose just added to the fun. The views were amazing and the Casey Jones Restaurant located on-site made for a perfect stay.

Family Fun!
Enjoyed the stay immensely. Tight fit with my wife and our 4 teenage daughters but the family enjoyed the special atmosphere. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful and the caboose we stayed in was very well done. I was very cold for our stay in December, floors were a little cold so bring thick socks or slippers! But the room was warm and cozy! Quite a fun nostalgic stay. Casey Jones Restaurant was outstanding!

Each “room” is an actual, repurposed, caboose. The restaurant is an actual dining car and the store has lots of train themed memorabilia, including a history of how the hotel came into being.
