This unique property is waiting for you to "ride" into days past, and have a great time in downtown Boyne City. You will be staying in a real caboose railcar that has been modified to offer all the comforts of home. With 2 sets of twin bunks you will be all set to let your adventure begin and have company with you! The property is just 2 blocks to downtown Boyne, and 3 blocks to the fabulous Avalanche Preserve for hiking, biking, skiing, sledding, ice skating, bird watching, and the best views overlooking Boyne and Lake Charlevoix you will find! You will have an outside firepit and grilling area all to yourself, and if you wish, the city beach is just 3 blocks down the hill for a beautiful summer dip in the crystal clear lake! All aboard!
Nice quiet location. Pet friendly. Easy walk to town and the waterfront. Inside was clean and comfortable. I've always wanted a caboose since I was a kid so this stay was special.
Fun property in prime location. Ideal for families or a private getaway. Our only real complaint was a glaring lack of hot water which isn't mentioned (that I saw) until we arrived.
This was such a cute place to stay! The location was within walking distance of the downtown area, farmer's market, ice cream, etc. Nice side yard with room to play catch with the kids, firepit to use, etc. Just as described. Quiet location too, which was nice.
We had such a great time visiting Boyne City and staying at the Red Caboose a couple of years ago, I decided to book us for Labor Day weekend this year for a last summer Hurrah! So glad we did. We really enjoy summertime in Boyne City and surrounding area. The Caboose is great fun, well kept, has all we need for the long weekend. Looking forward to returning for a third trip!
We loved the opportunity to stay in this caboose! It had everything we needed for a pleasant stay in this historical caboose. It is small - and don't plan to cook any meals - but there are many wonderful restaurants in walking distance. It is a wonderful place to stay to enjoy all that Boyne City has to offer in the summer, including a nearby beach.
Quiet. Great location. Nicely done inside. Bunk beds are sturdy but a bit narrow for an adult. Claw foot tub is lovely. Lock box convenient. A fun experience overall.
We throughly enjoyed our stay in this unique property! Marty has down an amazing job outfitting the caboose! It is comfortable, cozy and even contains some historic railroad memorabilia. An added plus is the close proximity to the downtown area.
Communication with Marty was seamless and efficient.
Highly recommend if you are looking for a unique experience!
We had great fun staying in the caboose! It was very clean and offered lots of interest for us all. Great to see the restoration and renovation to make the most of the space. Very comfortable. Great location a short walk to downtown and the water.
It was a cool experience to stay in the train, the only thing I would change is the shower, small hot water tank so what they call a Navy shower lol (get wet shut water off soap up and then turn water back on to rinse) but I would definitely recommend staying with this host!
