Staying in Ruby
Very fun staying in the old caboose. We loved the deck under the gazebo. The pictures and other artifacts lend a very nice railroad type feel. The cupila is so much fun. We really liked the map of the Virginia City mines, so the caboose had a great feel of the history of the area, too. Two small suggestions for the kitchen. 1) A small scrubby pad and 2) a small cutting board would be helpful. But, I quibble. Overall this was a wonderful visit!

Virginia City Caboose
This was an awesome visit ! The caboose was fantastic and even better than the pictures. Our weather was on the chilly side but we were marvelously cosy in the caboose. The views were magnificent! Virginia City strolling was great. Grab coffee at the Roasting House - it was excellent. There is no stove or microwave; we brought a hot plate just to warm up soup and that worked great.

Great place to get away
My husband & I stayed a night in Virginia City to check out the old gold mining town. The Ruby Caboose was the perfect lodging. The sheets were super soft & all the details inside the caboose were fun to view & added tons of charm. The host, Heidi was responsive, friendly & accommodating.
