About this cabin rental
This was once a real, working Southern Railways caboose and now sets on a track section between active Norfolk Southern railroad tracks and hwy 117.
The caboose was lovingly renovated by Claudia and her husband Robert over the past 2 years. It's decorated in a " midcentury, industrial" style that reflects the era that it was in service while maintaining some of the original features of a working caboose. It has 2 areas for sleeping, a bedroom with privacy and a sleep sofa in the common area.
The kitchen has such amenities as a coffee bar, microwave, toaster oven/air fryer, dishwasher, compact fridge and small freezer. Table for 4 with adequate room to eat or play board games.
The small couch is also a full size sleeper. There is a 32 inch smart TV in the livingroom for your entertainment.
Open the " original" caboose bathroom door for a " first class" experience. Unique tiled shower, toilet and sink. The " master bedroom" consists of a queen size mattress and bed with luxury linens.
The outdoor space consists of a deck, park- style grill, firepit and bluetooth speaker. Watch the train and wave to the conductor from the back of the property!
The property itself backs up to a norfolk Southern railroad with a variety of traincars sure to satisfy any railfan.
The caboose is located less than 5 miles down the mountain from Mentone, Alabama and all the natural attractions in the area- Desoto Falls, Desoto State Park, Brow park and many trails for walking or biking.
You are also close to Little River Canyon and Cloudland Canyon State park in Georgia.
* Please keep in mind the caboose is about 290 square ft. We have a pull out full size sleeper and a queen size in the bedroom.
This would not be suited for 4 adults. More appropriate for two adults and 2 children.
You are about 75 ft from the railroad tracks and you will hear the train whistle blow and the rumble of the train as it passes by during the day and night. Times the train passes by are unpredictable. At night, expect at least once. (This is not a main line so traffic is light on the rails)
You will be experiencing what the train conductor experienced on a working caboose only in a more luxury interior.
Vist Alabama's most unique stay at Claudia's caboose!
