Where the Stay
Becomes the Experience
Just 90 minutes from St. Louis in Fredericktown, Missouri, our beautifully restored 1958 train caboose is more than a place to stay—it’s an experience all its own. You’ll also be within easy reach of Elephant Rocks State Park and some of Southeast Missouri’s most scenic parks, trails, and outdoor adventures.
Inside, discover a cozy living space, one-of-a-kind Conductor's Loft, and authentic railroad artifacts that give the caboose the feel of a miniature museum.
Outside, slow down with coffee on the platform, evenings around the firepit, yard games, and plenty of room to simply enjoy being here.

My wife and I are absolutely blown away with the Caboose. Driving up to see this beautifully restored caboose was just the beginning! It is a wonderfully thoughtful layout that feels comfortable yet adventurous, a discovery and yet just like home. We cannot say enough wonderful things about our time on The Caboose Roost.

Ms. Tina was a wonderful host! She responded very quickly with any questions I had. I can't say enough about the caboose. It was perfect. It was very well decorated, spotless and very clean (that means a lot to me). The coffee and muffins were a nice surprise. Will definitely stay there again!!!
