The red caboose was definitely unique! It was amazing how well the space was utilized and all the amenities packed into it. We were in the area for family gatherings so didn't spend much time at the caboose but it was quiet, peaceful and the views each morning and evening were beautiful.
A very quiet place to stay with a sunset lake view. Incredibly charming Caboose with a lot of attention to detail. My wife was already talking about the next time we should stay before we left.
My momma and I had a wonderful stay in your absolutely precious Caboose! You guys thought of every little detail including tooth brushes with a small toothpaste. Thank you for sharing your little piece of Heaven with us!!
We gad a seamless check in with a great welcome book with all the info. Super clean and stocked place. So fun for the kids. Hammock was the best and all the sports equipment! Had a blast!!
We had a great time! We arrived at night and did not get to see the surrounding area. When we woke up in the morning we were mesmerized by the fantastic view of the lake off the rear deck! It is quiet and beautiful!
Our second stay at Shorty's Caboose with our grandsons. They love it! There's so much for them to do on a wonderful property. We don't even make it home before they ask if we can go back next weekend? We highly recommend it if you're a train enthusiast or have young ones that are.
Very thoughtful organization of small space made it everything we needed and more. Our only disappointment was not being able to access the dock with our boat.
Few cleanliness concerns with a yellowjacket and dead ants, and the AC had some trouble keeping the place cool. Otherwise the caboose was very cute and the view/patio were great for a book-filled getaway.
It was both our Anniversary and Valentineâs Day and the host went out of their way to welcome us with a banner for our Anniversary and Chocolate covered strawberries!
The Caboose was clean and everything we could ask for for a 2 day getaway. We now have another favorite and option for our 2 and 3 day getaways!
The inside was awesome where great detail was given towards the overall experience, what a treat to be able to spend time in a 100 year old caboose. The outside did need attention as the tables and chairs on the deck where not made ready and needed to be cleaned before we could use them. The grass from the caboose to the fire pit needed mowing. Overall the outside looked not ready for use. Even with this the stay met our expectations with a quiet setting and great water views. We missed what should have been an awesome sunset over the water due to cloud cover the whole weekend. We were able to have a fire the second night and took some awesome pictures of the fire against the lake and cloudy sky. The gas grill worked great and was the right size for 2-4 people. The neighbors were very quiet and respectful of our privacy. We enjoyed sitting on the deck or by the fire listen to the wild life around us without the city sounds intruding in our space. If you are looking for a unique experience give this a try you will be glad you did.
Property is very unique and cute, nice place to enjoy a campfire. I just happened to book on very cold and wet weekend but was still able to relax and enjoy it. I would stay here again but probably in warmer months.
The place was unique and peaceful. The views of the lake were magnificent, plenty of room to explore. I really enjoyed the back patio, perfect place to enjoy coffee in the morning. I would definitely recommend this place as a vacation or weekend get-away from it all.
The only drawback would be no nearby access to any type of store or place to purchase food. The owner did tell me, but I guess I did not fully realize.
This was our second time visiting and we had such a wonderful time. So much thought is put into making the guests feel comfortable and at home. You can tell that a lot of love was put into fixing up the caboose as well as each and every little welcoming touch. There is so much to enjoy. The scenery is spectacular. My 12-year-old son and I had fun paddling around the lake in the boat, lounging in the hammock. We all enjoyed fishing on the dock. We caught a few catfish and my husband was delighted to catch the big one that almost got away. We can't wait to return. Thank you so much!!
My wife and I enjoyed our stay in the Cottonbelt Caboose set alongside of Lake Limestone. The atmosphere is quiet...except for the activity of a variety of birds which add to the setting. The host includes many touches to make the caboose charming and attentive to things you may have left at home. They have done very well with the interior so that you know you are residing in a piece of history.
The property is amazing! The caboose is beautiful and so unique. The property is well maintained and quiet. We brought our boat and was able to launch it nearby and keep it tied up in the water by the house. Mark was very attentive and quick to answer any questions
If you love trains, and history, these owners have done a fabulous job re-creating all the charm of the period in this caboose. Wonderful touch's true to trains, and an absolutely gorgeous piece of property that it sits on. Peaceful, lake front, and we defnitely recommend this property!
