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!

Truly great propery. Everyone was very nice, attentive, accommodating, and helpful. The only negative I would say is that the beds and pillows were uncomfortable. It was just my husband and I but the canoose we stayed in could accommodate 6 people I think that would be very tight. We had a family emergency and had to leave after only one night but the time we spent there was nice and we would recommend this place.

Quite a unique experience! The staff were great and the dining car food was fantastic. We were there during the off-season so the observation tower wasn't open and they weren't doing buggy rides from the parking lot, however, there are tons of places that offer buggy rides!

Great experience to sleep in an actual caboose! I rented the baggage car. Bed was a little firm for my taste, but overall, great for sleeping, nice and quiet area. The restaurant was right there and the food was delicious. Staff is very friendly. I would definitely do this again!

don't bother
Unit was on a bizarre tilt, doors didn't stay closed or open, shower so small couldn't even fit in. If i had stayed i would have rolled right out of the bed. They did offer me another caboose, but by then i was so annoyed i just left. of course they didn't refund my stay even though we were only there a few minutes. If you have a better unit and the place is empty, why put us in the worst one at the start? newly updated? what, paint?. units are still worn and need renovations, not just a quick coat of paint. There are so many options in the area, just go elsewhre
