The rooms, or the cabooses, were very clean and comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The surrounding grounds were wonderful to take evening walks or watch the Strasburg Railroad steam trains pass through. A small petting zoo, Amish buggy rides, and the Toy Train Museum are a very short walking distance from the cabooses. You park your car along side the caboose you are staying in. The Strasburg Railroad and Pennsylvania Train Museum are within a mile from the motel. Beautiful views of the Amish farms. The Casey Jones restaurant was a great place for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Highly recommend the Red Caboose Motel.

The rooms were comfortable and there was enough space for all of us to fit comfortably. I travelled with my mother and two children. We each had a bed to ourselves and enough space for our personal belongings. There wasn't any storage for belongings (closet space, etc) but I wasn't bothered by it at all. The mini fridge and microwave was a nice added touch as well. The location was a plus as it was near various eateries and other tourist favorites.

I can't think of anything that I didn't like. This was our first experience at the motel and it won't be our last. Staff was friendly, the rooms were neat and clean; I have no complaints.

Such an interesting and fun experience spending a night in a train car! Plus, we had a meal in a train dining car! The hotel lobby was part of the gift shop and dining area and the receptionist was in uniform giving one another taste of being on a train. Very friendly staff. Our "room" (that is, train car) had comfortable beds, a large and well equipped (with shower AND a Jacuzzi bathtub), small refrigerator, microwave, TV, small table and 2 chairs. It was clean, quiet and functional. We could park our car right at our "room." The dining area was a short walk away and the food was very good. They had walking areas, petting animals, a toy train museum and offered buggy rides and Amish village tour. A large full size train museum was only a little drive away. It was a fun experience, great for kids. They had a handicapped accessible "room" as well for those needing it.

We did not have anything to complain about.

It was something my dad wanted to do and I made it happen. He came across this property 15 years ago and told me about it last year he is almost 80 and I’ve been trying to do an annual trip every year so I looked up sleeping in a caboose and found this place it does book quickly so I had to wait a year. We did so many things due to the location we were close to so much to do. Wonderful experience and memories with my dad.

We are early risers although there was coffee in the room waiting to go to the restaurant at 7:30 was the only negative.

The staff was great. Gift shop was huge. Caboose theme was perfect for us and our grandson. Petting zoo had 3 piglets, super cute! The on site buggy rides were a huge hit with our 8 year old (and us). We went twice! The Toy Train museum is within walking distance and it was awesome. Loved it.

The sleeping berths were really narrow. But after all, it was a train.

This was our family's 3rd trip. First time me and husband stayed in the honeymoon caboose which had a whirlpool tub. The second time was in the farmhouse which was very nice and spacious since we had our 2 children and my mom with us. This time we stayed in the baggage car which was very spacious and comfortable. My 3yr old loves the animals and being able to see the train up close when it comes by. Casey Jones restaurant is very reasonably priced and the food is delightful. The location is great as well! Very close to lancaster and Strasburg railroad.

The only thing would be that we had neighbors on this last trip so of felt that the car rocked in the morning when they moved around and could hear indistinct conversations in the evening.

The staff at the hotel and restaurant are very kind and friendly. The property is clean and comfortable. There's a free petting zoo that my husband and I enjoyed just as much as the kids. There's a mini arcade, buggy rides, and you can watch the trains past by. That was the highlight for my husband and 5-year-old son. The food is so good and is reasonably priced. We had some car trouble, and the staff wasted no time helping us. My 15-year-old daughter is ready to move to Amish country because of the Red Caboose Motel! We'll definitely be back and for a longer period of time.

Absolutely nothing bad to say about this place, its people or its location at all. It was better than what we expected.

I love all the different cars. I really liked that every car had their own designated parking spots right next to the car. The petting zoo was fun. I liked the penny squisher in the vending machine depot. Anything you wanted or needed was right there. The restaurant was delicious and we loved all the activities that were nearby.

The only thing is sometimes people coming to eat at the restaurant take your parking space but that is not the property’s fault.

Location,fun concept and adventure, everything was very clean, super friendly and accommodating. The food was delicious and our waiter was top notch. Tiva was wonderful to show us around the wedding venue.

The mattress was a little too soft for me, but I did sleep well. However, I woke up with a sore low back. Also, in the bathroom needs a place to hang your towel and clothes. I had to put my towel on closed toilet lid and clothes on the back of the toilet.it could use a bathroom command strip to hang your wash cloth. I can deal with mattress, but I hate not having a place to hang stuff up in the bathroom. This would be an easy fix.

Room was great the kids loved staying in a train. The cute petting zoo was a nice touch! The restaurant onsite was also a good touch but I felt like it was pretty overpriced. I did like the that train ride for Strasburg was right next door pretty much!

The restaurant onsite was pretty overpriced for what we got. It was the most expensive meal of our entire 5 day trip! They also missed something in our order, and we had to go back and wait after paying $75 for the meal.
