Can we go back next weekend?
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.

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.

Great bookcation for my cousin and I
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.

Great Views!
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!

Quality and great, efficient use of space
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.

Just as advertised.
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.
