Property is so unique with over 40 railroad cabooses. Was fun staying in one. My sister and I had plenty of room and loved the way it was laid out giving each of us some privacy. Had a frig,microwave, and coffee maker everything we needed and it was very clean. Staff was very welcoming also. Would definitely stay here again.

Kids loved the train playground and petting zoo. In our double-double caboose, the bathroom was in the middle of the room, creating some privacy/separation between the two beds.

The breakfast is delicious at Casey Jones. Sonis their supper. Eat there everytime I go to PA. The caboose we stayed in was immaculately clean. The bed was comfortable. 1 thing...it got cold while we were there so we turned the heat on. The bathroom never got warm. Amd it wld be great to have some hooks in the bathroom to hang the towels up. But I am not complaining, just suggesting. Everyone ought to experience it. Just so cute!
This was the #4 we stayed in.
A little narrow but loved it.

Suggestion: bring your own towels and pillows. The towels are hard as a rock, pillows are flat. Everything was clean besides attention to detail. The Murphy bed clearly wasn’t cleaned for multiple uses. Some cobwebs in the corners and dust on the walls.

A Very Nice Experience!

Our caboose provided clean and comfortable accommodations. The beds were supportive and comforting. Also, plenty of towels and toiletries helped to make our stay pleasant. Parking right outside our door was perfect and safe, and the location provided wonderful peace and quiet. A great place for family stays, and overall, a very nice experience!

A cute, unique must-do experience!

Such a cute and unique experience! I highly recommend staying here especially families with children. There's a few animals on the property you can take a look at and feeding machine to dispense food. The inside it's cute but tight. We had a large family caboose but only 4 people and thought it was the perfect amount of room. I can't imagine another 2 people in it. I only gave 4 stars because the beds were extremely uncomfortable. The mattresses were very very firm to the point where we had to buy a mattress topper for the second night. My husband who likes firm mattresses didn't even like it. Other than the mattresses, everything was great! Service was great! Everyone was very nice and they even called to make sure we got settled in. We had breakfast at the Casey Jones restaurant and it was good. Typically breakfast foods, nothing special but service was great. We will definitely be back and will be bringing out mattress topper next time!
