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!

Loved the idea of sleeping in a train car! It was clean for the most part, but little things like hairs in the bathroom here and there and dust on the windowsill. I also wish someone would have told us about the radiator heaters and not just the plug in heater.

It is a very unique experience to stay in a caboose. Each interior is finished into a comfortable room, or more, with a nice bathroom. Refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker are handy. TV has plenty of station choices. The people are very friendly and helpful. We will probably come again.

we enjoy staying at the quirky and/or historical places which this certainly was. It was only a couple miles to Sight and Sound Theatre and about 1/2 mile from the Strasburg RR. Restaurant on site was convenient.

So cute & unique … very clean & staff was so friendly & helpful. We visited the miniature horse farm that was literally 5 minutes down the road & also did a farm tour that Kreider Farms runs. The petting zoo,the store & the restaurant on the property are really nice & we were only about 5 minutes from Sight & Sound which was the main reason for the trip.

Fun place and friendly staff. Everything was immaculately clean. The place is starting to show some age and the shower head only was as high as my shoulders. (Don’t think my son who is a foot taller would be able to stand in the shower.) But overall experience is five stars. Highly recommend!
