Romantic Get-a-Way!! 1954 Rail Road Caboose!! Relaxing Hot Tub!

Was voted the BEST Romantic Get-Away in Wisconsin!!

The 1954 Red Railroad Caboose provides seclusion on five wooded acres located four miles from the Mississippi River. The Caboose features a conversation area, an updated kitchen, new bath and gas fireplace. A double size futon and set of bunk beds provide sleeping for up to four people.

Relaxing Getaway
Beautiful location with unique accommodations! The host went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. The hot tub in the screened in porch was such a treat and made our stay the relaxing getaway we were hoping for. We will definitely be back and would love to see how beautiful it must look during the Fall and Winter seasons.

A lovely getaway!
The property was an adorable setting for my wife and I to spend a few days after our wedding. The property was clean, and the instructions for use were very clear. The restaurant gift card and wine bottles were a nice touch :)
