Stay in a REAL train car in historic Virginia City, NV!
Authentic 1950s caboose converted into a private guest suite that captures the glory days of train travel. Enjoy the famous 100-mile view from the cupola as you sip your coffee in the morning or your cocktail in the evening. Watch the steam engine (or the wild horses) go by from your private covered deck. Easy access to the V&T Railroad, bars, restaurants, museums, and all that VC has to offer. Welcome to town. Choo choo!
Great place to stay if you're wanting to enjoy VC for a few nights. The caboose is super cute & comfy. Plus it has an amazing view at night of the hillside & sky (we even had a horse eat right next to us at night). This place is definitely special from it's history & style, to being the place my guy proposed to me! We will definitely be back here in the future & highly recommend it.
My husband and I stayed only one night in Virginia City but we absolutely loved it! Ruby the caboose was decorated so nicely...very thoughtful. We also really loved the gazebo and the views from Ruby. Easy walking distance to the cute town and all the old time-y saloons and such. We will absolutely recommend Ruby to friends- It was a very unique and comfortable VRBO!
Staying in a caboose has always been something we've wanted to do. It was a very unique and memorable stay! Comfortable, fun with lots of train memorabilia throughout. Nice patio and close to Main Street in historic Virginia City.
We had a wonderful stay in this well appointed caboose. The owners have made great use of its space and put so much detail into its decor. The bed was super comfortable and the air conditioning kept up with the hottest time of the day. There are some steep steps up to the caboose, but if you have no mobility issues itâs well worth the trek up to its charming space. We even walked the short distance to the railroad and toured several antique railcars, engines and cabooses. The location is perfect!
We enjoyed our stay at the caboose in Virginia City. It is both close to the main street and somehow out of the way. The view towards the hills is magnificent.
So fun to stay in the Red Caboose!! Very comfortable. Loved all the little touches inside. So much to look at. I enjoyed waving to the Virginia &Truckee Train as it went by. The main part of town was easy walking distance (some hills) and had a fabulous breakfast at Crazy Calamities. Sitting out in the gazebo was relaxing and I was happy to have several deer walk past!
The details made the stay truly special. We utilized the Bluetooth old-fashioned looking speaker to listen to a book on tape while we sipped from gorgeous cut glass cups. The space is private, cozy, and just fun.
Had a wonderful time staying here with my grandson the night before taking a ride on the V&T Railroad. The caboose sits on the hill right above the train station, so you can just walk right down to the trains. It also has a wonderful eastern view for sun/moonrise. We loved climbing up top to the comfy seats in the cupola for evening reading. It IS a vintage railway car, so of course there are some âquirksâ but they are part of the charm and fun of the unique lodging experience. We were a 74 year old and a 12 year old and both had a great time here!
Ruby the Caboose is charming. Owners have done a fabulous job restoring it and making it a comfortable stay. Close to all VC has to offer and the wild horses are a plus.
Very clean rail car, nicely restored/maintained, quiet neighborhood, great view to look at with morning coffee,
Im sure the local motels are nice too, but this was a fun experience, I would definitely stay again next time in vc
