Slow Down & Stay Awhile
Life moves a little slower here. Mornings begin with coffee on the platform as the Ozark hills wake up around you. Afternoons invite you to wander, relax, and breathe in the quiet beauty of the countryside.
As evening settles in, gather around the firepit, watch the stars appear one by one, and enjoy the peaceful rhythm of a place where the distractions of everyday life fade away.
It’s the kind of stay where simple moments become the ones you remember most.

The caboose exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived, with the railroad crossing lighting up as we drove through to the evening under the stars by the adorable fire pit area, everything was just perfect. Tina quite literally didn't forget one detail. We had everything we needed and more, and by more I mean she had a sound machine by the bed, phone charges, fresh muffins in the perfectly put together tiny kitchen, and there were even bath robes. We loved that it even had a nice yard area, where our kids ran and played chase while my husband and I sat around the fire of the evening. We will definitely be visiting again !
