So far we've stayed in Caboose numbers 2, 6, 15 and 49. All of our stays have been very nice. We stayed from a single night to three nights. The staff are great. The gift shop is very nice and the restaurant has great home cooked meals at a decent price. It's within walking distance of both The Strasburg Railroad... More

Stayed one night, 3 adult's, one 6 year old. Could not get our 6 year old to go to sleep, as he was too excited about staying in a "Little Red Caboose". I read the reviews on here, and agree with another poster, these are 60+ year old unit's, so dont expect the Ritz, but do expect great service, and... More

The small frige and microwave came in very handy. We had 2 flat screen tv in the caboose,bedding was top notch,service was better than most,resturant was amazing and reasonable. It was a short...

My family stayed at the RedCaboose Motel April 12th to 13th, 2012.We were in #7 (Delaware and Hudson caboose) We found the room to be in very good condition. It was clean, beds made, and bathroom clean. For the kids this is a nice and fun place to stay. The petting farm on the grounds was nice for the kids.The... More

Another great anniversary weekend. For the past 7 years, we have come and spent our anniversary weekend at the Red Caboose. We have 2 favorite cabooses we choose to stay in. We are never bored cuz there's always something to do or we just kick back and relax. Keep in mind nothing is perfect, It is rustic but we have... More

This was a very fun place to stay. We stayed 2 nights in April. The exterior of the property is very well done as all of the cabooses are painted with a different railroad paint scheme - all of which are reasonably close to the real paint schemes of fomer railroads. The Interiors are all different and the overall theme... More

Surfing around the internet making plans to visit Lancaster for the first time we found this place. It looked really cool and upon calling we found Tiffany at the front desk to be very nice and professional. However, upon arrival Tiffany was not there and someone else with a not so friendly attitude gave us our key. This was overlooked... More

We at the Red Caboose Motel do NOT let people into dirty cabooses. We have housekeeping to check rooms before we let guest check in. To think your paying "120" and you're okay with the dirty room makes no sense. The picture with broken dry wall was a piece behind a curtain where the water heater is. We have repaired... More
