We take our grandchildren age 7& 10 on an annual B.D. present vacation and this year came to the Amish country. We went to Red Caboose because we were there 30 years ago with their father and uncle . It was everything that we expected and more The kids loved the caboose and the petting farm and playground . Everyone was very accomodating and ...

We made the mistake of going to the Red Caboose Restaurant. I thank God we didn’t stay in their Motel. We drove all over Strasburg and finally decided to give the Red Caboose Restaurant a try. We arrived at 6:30PM and the dining car was practically empty, (in hindsight we should have left and gone somewhere else). The food is horrible. Even ...

First I want to say, Larry the owner is such a great guy. He really wants to make sure that you and your family are having a good time. Since he took over he did alot of renovations including the wooden playset which the kids love. We are repeat customers and can't wait to go back, especially now the weather is getting nicer. Our children ...

My wife, son(4) and I have gone 2 years in a row(late April,early May) and have had a wonderful time. You are not visiting a 5star hotel with turndown service but you are experiencing a rare opportunity of staying in a caboose. Room was clean and functional, hotel is in great location and restaurant was great. My son is nuts about trains and has gotten my wife and I into them as well. We plan on doing it all again next year.

We loved the location, very quiet and peaceful. The owner and all the staff are very friendly and always willing to satisify all your needs. The kids just loved our caboose and the petting zoo. Its a nice place to relax and enjoy the surroundings, theres alot of land for the kids to roam and play. While the cabooses vary in appearance they are ...

it was the worst time ever the front desk girl tiffany was very rude

I've stayed at the Red Caboose three times now. Each time the accommodations varied, largely because each caboose is unique. One of the 3 times the caboose wasn't as nice as we liked and the owner moved us right away.

I LOVE the location - right in the heart of Amish country and on the railroad tracks. Trains go by often and you hear the ...

What do you say about a place that charges $129 a night but the room doesn't have a phone or internet access in it but does provide a "fly swatter"?

The kids liked it and it's a novel idea but it was dirty and grungy. It's nice to see they saved those old cabooses but they very cheaply outlined the interior with crappy ...

My parents and I still talk about the horrors of spending 2 nights here in 2006. The first night in an unrenovated caboose, in spite of my reservations for a renovated one only. No one slept the first night there: the dripping "shower" (and I apply that term loosely, the barely there door locks, the old uncomfortable beds... The second ...
