Weekend Away

We had a wonderful anniversary weekend in the caboose!! What a quaint, fun and special place to stay. (Also pet friendly) sitting in the hot tub on the patio in the snow while hearing the creekbed below was the icing on the cake.

Location. It does state it is next to a highway, could hear cars and trucks passing by.

We had a wonderful time at the caboose. Actually, we rang in the New Year (2020). The caboose decor was very nice, comfortable and tasteful. Loved the hot tub.

Not what we were looking for

Heads up for anyone wanting to rent this property- the owners fly several Blue Lives Matter flags on the property and are very Evangelical Christian (they include requests for donations in their welcoming info for their homeless ministry) so if that’s something that would put you off, steer clear. It certainly would have made us skip this property had we known. The caboose itself was cleanish and comfortable, love the little bathroom too. Decorated like a 90’s craft store (in a good way!). Lots of towels. The host was unresponsive to messages on VRBO, and part of the check in message was a request for a credit card, so i had to dig up a phone number on their website to make sure they didn’t need anything additional from us. The owner who answered the phone was pretty unfriendly and seemed annoyed that I was bothering her. No wifi ( they claim it’s because of the mountains but that really doesn’t make sense). Also pillows by MyPillow, so again, these folks aren’t really trying to keep their political leanings secret. Hot tub was great, and the trees were lovely. We left a day early. This is not a negative review, just a warning to people who aren’t looking to financially support beliefs like these. This review may actually attract more of the kind of people they seem to be wanting to attract, and less people like us, so win-win.

What a Magickal Experience!

We loved it all. It was a stop on our daughters 3rd birthday road-trip through Colorado. She loves trains and she couldn’t have been anymore elated to have “her train house”. It was so cozy and comfortable. Thank you for helping bring some of our baby’s birthday dreams come true.
