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!

It’s unique to sleep in a caboose in the middle of Amish farmland country! We loved the experience of being part of train history. The rooms are simple, but very clean. You have your own space, with a restaurant on the property. There are a couple cabooses that are split into 2 reservable rooms with separate entrances, but most of them you have the whole caboose to yourselves. The dinner food was excellent & staff was very friendly. It was very quiet at night as it is out in a farmland community but very close to Lancaster County attractions. Beautiful property!

Good stay
Good stay. The caboose was actually very spacious with lots of places to stick suitcases. More hooks would be nice and a detachable shower head would also be nice. One of the beds was decently comfortable but the other was pretty bad. Would stay again.

This was the most unique motel in which I have ever stayed. It was an old caboose converted to a motel room. We were away from others, so there was no noise.

I have wanted to stay at the Rick Bush motel for a very, very long time because of the caboose itself. I thought they did a great job at making all modern amenities available in such a small space. The theme was what’s most important to me.
