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 !
