Red Caboose Motel & Restaurant

All aboard! Hop on a caboose car at the Red Caboose Motel for a fun and unique overnight stay. All 38 cabooses (19 of which were once part of the Pennsylvania Railroad) are decorated in the paint schemes of America's most famous railroads. The rooms are divided into 11 general floor plans, each catered to the number of guests for the evening. There's also a baggage car, mail car and a home away from home called the Shady Rest Hotel Farmhouse Efficiency Suite. And the best part is, you never have to leave the property -- it has everything you could possibly need on site. Explore Amish life on an Amish buggy ride, play games at the arcade, pet animals at the zoo. There's also a restaurant on-site, Casey Jones' Restaurant, and for a late-night snack, guests can stop by the take-out ice cream parlor, Janie Jones’.

Super fun time at the Red Caboose Motel.

Pros: Train car was so cozy and warm. It was very quiet at night and the front office staff were always so friendly and accommodating.

Cons: As it is a small space I felt it could have used more hooks to hang coats and towels on ect.

Great location, fabulous friendly staff, highly recommended

Pros: Photos on website do not do it justice, it’s a beautiful location. We stayed in the farmhouse which was so lovely, lots of space, very well maintained, beds were very comfortable. We had a lovely meal in the barn with a live jazz band playing, sat and listened with a drink watching the sun set. Perfect evening.

Cons: Nothing.

Quirky Accommodation

Pros: Quirky accommodation, great for a night or 2 with a family of 5. Beautiful location in Amish country. Steam train passing is an added bonus. Food in restaurant is very good.. Just a few minutes from Cherry Crest Farm which the kids loved.

Fun

Pros: Loved the location and the concept. It was cozy. It got warm and stayed warm making it comfortable.

Cons: We only had half a caboose. It was not sound proof. It also leaned to one side making you feel like you would fall out of bed. The shower was very small.
