🚃 Original train cabooses moved into this creekside valley in 1968 and restored for overnight stays

🏔 Tucked at the base of Castle Crags State Park, just steps away

📌 I stayed in Cabooses #21 and #22, and each one had its own unique look and character, but both came with all the same features: wood paneling, a cozy sitting area, and a front porch to take in the views.

🚂Some even have a cupola with views of the Crags (Cabooses #1, #25, #27 or 28), shown in clip 10 of the reel!

🍽 The Dining Cars restaurant, spread across eight rail cars including a 19th-century Pullman Club Car, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner with locally sourced ingredients

🎶 Live music and outdoor movie nights, weather permitting

🏊 Seasonal outdoor pool, a pond, fire pits, and incredible stargazing

🛤 Railroad relics scattered around the grounds, including a Shay steam logging locomotive and an 1893 Wells Fargo car

🐶 Pet-friendly for dogs and cats (fee applies)
