About this cabin rental
Step into a luxury barn-wood and turquoise-aspen paneled caboose named for James Jerome Hill, the empire builder behind the Great Northern Railway. These luxury accommodations echo the theme of Great Northern's sleeping cars while taking your comfort to another level. Sleeps up to 4 with queen size beds in the master bedroom and cupola. Appointed kitchen with lotus granite countertop, 4 burner gas stove, oven, refrigerator and microwave. Private bathroom with shower and heated floor.
The JJ caboose creatively blends wood, leather and stone to reflect Montana’s rich flora, fauna and landscape. Walls of turquoise aspen and rustic barn wood, accented with recycled chocolate leather, warmly envelope the soothing leather furnishings.
The bedroom is walled in spalted birch and barn wood, accented with recycled leather. The queen size bed has a denim duvet adorned with a Glacier Park Pendleton and Hudson Bay pillow shams, echoing the theme of Great Northern’s sleeping cars.
The kitchen boasts a full refrigerator, gas range, microwave and copper sink. Lotus granite countertops, glazed hickory cabinetry, and the blue pine eating bar compliment the rich wood interior.
The bathroom and shower are framed by walls of travertine stone accented with green rainforest marble tiles.
J.J.’s cupola has been converted to an upper bunk with a "full" bed, complete with a view of the railroad mainline. It's accessible by a built-in ladder with handrails. It’s finished in blue pine with the same walnut flooring as the rest of the caboose. A Pendleton blanket tops the full size bed. The kids will love sleeping on top of the world!
The barn wood throughout J.J. displays 12 different pieces of antique barbed wire from the late 1800s, when Montana became a state.

The caboose was very charming and clean. Too bad construction was still going on for the main Inn.

It was a unique caboose but we had some issues while we were there. We did not receive the code to get in prior to arrival. I assumed we would be able to check in across the parking lot at the Inn. When we arrived we found that the Inn was closed for renovation. This meant nobody to help us and no cell service. Fortunate the train car had the WIFI information so that I was able to reach the host within a short amount of time. He was aware that sometimes VRBO does not send the entrance codes. We were in a desolate area with the Inn closed and only another train car nearby. The first night we were awoken by two Sheriffs searching for a woman tied up in an closet in the Inn. The second night when we returned to the caboose we found that the electricity was out and had been out for about an hour. It took about 3 hours for the electricity to available. When I spoke to the host he was aware that the area was more prone to outages than other areas.

We very much enjoyed our stay in this cool and unique lodging. We were not aware until we arrived that this is part of a new resort—Loge—that is currently being renovated. This place will be even better once that is complete. The trains run close by, which is fun and romantic, but not overly noisy. The west entrance to Glacier is about 30 minutes from here, with it also being a good place to stay if you also want to visit the east side of Glacier. The beds were exceptionally comfortable and the kitchen was adequately set up for the basics. The host went above and beyond to help us with getting a memory card for our camera after we realized we forgot it, allowing us to still enjoy our day in the park instead of running errands.
