I can't praise enough the fantastic and engaging customer service I experienced at Featherbed. This wonderful, non-corporate business is located on the shores of rustic Clear Lake, California. The resort features several train cabooses converted into themed lodgings, each equipped with jetted Jacuzzi tubs for personal use.

On our first night, I had the incredible pleasure of sitting on a deck for hours, enjoying the lake view and the serene environment. Putting down my devices, I identified at least seven different bird calls from various species of waterfowl and enjoyed watching their families swim and feed. I was able to breathe deeply and relax in ways I hadn't for years, all enhanced by the loving and joyous attitudes of the caretakers. We met all four staff members, each providing an exceptional level of customer service and engagement, making us feel like we were in a different world compared to today's corporate-run chains.

The first afternoon, my partner suffered from heat stroke due to forgetting sunscreen. The owners kindly found pain relievers and provided Otter Pops at no charge, their kindness really making our day. They serve complimentary breakfast each morning, not the usual buffet line with cold eggs and old fruit, but a delightful meal served in an actual dining room, making us feel like honored guests.

Featherbed is rustic and quaint, incredibly relaxing, and we will definitely be visiting many times over the years. If you and your family are looking for an affordable and relaxing getaway that evokes the charm, warmth, and family-friendly welcome of yesteryear, this is the place for you!

My husband George and I decided to return to the Feather Bed Railroad B&B to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We had such a wonderful experience last May that we decided why not? The new owners have made some very welcome changes. Now all of the cabooses are dog friendly, and we were able to upgrade our caboose from the Tropicaboose to the Orient Express. They have also discontinued the 2 night minimum policy, which really worked out for us because we only needed to stay one night. The hosts really went out of their way to help us celebrate our anniversary, including gifting us with a lovely bottle of wine, placing a cute happy anniversary banner over our breakfast table, and surprising us with cheesecake with a little candle. Those special touches set the FBRR apart. It's the perfect place to celebrate a special occasion or for a quick getaway in beautiful Lake County.

We stayed in the Casablanca caboose and loved it! The ceiling fan and AC kept it very comfortable, even though it was over 102 degrees outside. When we checked in,the host asked us about dietary restrictions, which was great. Breakfast the first morning was waffles, sausage, and a selection of fresh fruit, and they actually served us early so we could make our Skunk Train reservations. I loved the trench coat on the coat rack! The decor was fabulous. The bed was very comfy, and the sheets were quite posh. Getting up and down the metal stairs was a bit of a challenge for an older woman with arthritic knees.

We're railroad buffs and this is the fourth caboose motel we've stayed in - Texas, Indiana, Pennsylvania, and now the Featherbed RR in California. Very quiet location across road from beautiful Clear Lake. Nine cabooses, each with different theme. We stayed in the Wild, Wild, West caboose. Owners have spent a lot of time searching antique stores for period decorations! This area has limited dining options for dinner. Be flexible. Our room was quaint and comfortable. Has an excellent Roku TV system! Movie options are endless - we were able to catch one we wanted to see in the theaters this past year. Our host, Dick, was very accommodating. Normally breakfast is served at 9 am. He moved breakfast for us up to 8:30 so we could make our ride on the Skunk Train on time. Very friendly staff. Setting is very relaxing with lots of shade, picnic tables, and nice outdoor area to just relax. New owners have many plans to upgrade and make more lake activities available. Would certainly stay here again!

The Wild West caboose was detailed throughout with various old West items and with a perfectly designed interior with finely crafted wood paneling. The grounds outside the caboose were landscaped and very pleasant to stroll through in the evening. The breakfast was also very well made and presentation was excellent. Had many good conversations with the owners. June made the best scones that I have ever eaten!. For lunch, I would recommend going North about 1 mile to the Mar-Val Sentry grocery store and order a custom made sandwich; they are delish and cheap!

I had visited here some time ago and liked it so returned with my fiancé this time. We stayed in the Casablanca and took advantage of a great winter rate. We were the only guests but our hosts were very attentive but never intrusive. They also have lovely black cat who is the morning greeter. Breakfast was lovely. I would love to return and try a different caboose.Casablanca has a working piano and a great big jacuzzi.

Our Caboose room was Harley Davidson themed and a lot of thought and energy was put into it. Room was very clean, could have use an additional outlet. The breakfast both days was great and the owners friendly and helpful when discussing our planned trip to the coast to see the lighthouses around Mendocino. My husband and I would definitely stay here again.

June was very accommodating in that she made excellent gluten free focaccia bread for us. It was a really nice gesture to cater to our diets. This place also had very soft, comfortable sheets. We loved eating breakfast on the lookout of the caboose. Will definitely return some day.

Thank you Peter! I try hard to accommodate our guests dietary needs, glad you enjoyed the focaccia bread! We do have very soft sheets. That makes it hard when we go and stay other places, we almost want to bring our own sheets, ha, ha! Look forward to hosting you again.

I HIGHLY recommend staying here. The room we stayed in was very clean, the bed was super comfortable, and breakfast was outstanding. I was surprised at how spacious the rooms are for a converted caboose. I don't usually sleep well the first night in a hotel, but due to the super comfy bed and sheets I slept through the night like it was my own bed. Two of the nights there were not any other guests, and the owners asked us what we would like for breakfast the next morning. That was a level of service I was not expecting. The owners really understand how to make your stay exceptional and go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. By the end of our stay, it felt like we had been staying with long time friends, not some random hotel. We will definitely be staying there again!

During a recent wildfire, my family and I were evacuated with our dogs. My husband and I had stayed at Featherbed several years back and we lucky enough to get two rooms last minute that could accommodate our dogs for the night. The owners went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. They got us to our rooms right away and were so kind and gracious about out situation. They were able to accommodate dietary needs such as gluten free and vegetarian for the outstanding breakfast. They even called around to help us find a hotel for the rest of the evacuation. The train cars were clean, well cared for and just cool! They had movies we could borrow and we were able to grab a bottle of wine to help us relax. I can't say enough nice things about the resort and its kind owners. We will definitely be coming back soon for a real vacation!

Hi! Wondering if there is any vegan food on the menu or nearby places to eat for vegans?

I would be more than happy to make a vegan breakfast for you. Also, there is a great Thai place about 10 minutes away and other restaurants that you should be able to find vegan options at.
