About this property

Rustic Railway Retreat - Historic caboose - 10 min from Colorado Springs

Get away from your busy life. Nestled along Fountain creek bubbling beneath blue spruce pines this caboose is the perfect place to relax, unwind and explore. Enjoy nature overlooking the creek from your private hot tub on the deck. Located within walking distance of secluded hiking trails and the Wines of Colorado. Santa's Workshop and Pikes Peak highway a minute away. Manitou Springs and Old Colorado City are a 7 minute drive. Personalized guidebook https://abnb.me/IVMEUfL3aIb

-- The Space --
This caboose was purchased from the Illinois Central Railroad after it was decommissioned in the 1950s. It has since been tastefully renovated with a full bathroom, clawfoot tub and large living area with sink, fridge and microwave. The private deck has a hot tub on it where you can relax and spend time with your favorite person.

Staying here feels like stepping into the past where history comes to life with every charming detail

One of the best things about this property is its proximity to exploration and attractions. You can head deeper into the mountains and visit Woodland Park or down into Colorado Springs within 10 minutes. Some of the highlights close by:
- Pikes Peak
- Garden of the Gods
- Cheyenne Mountain Zoo
- United States Olympic & Paralympic Museum
- Manitou Incline
- U.S. Air Force Academy
- North Cheyenne Cañon Park
- Glen Eyrie Castle
- Seven Falls
- Hiking Trails
- Mountain Lakes

We fully stock the caboose with coffee, tea, seasonings, dishes, soaps, shampoo, conditioner, towels and more. The smart TV has a couple paid streaming services logged in and others available.

The living area has plenty of space to cuddle up and read a good book, eat dinner, play games, or watch a movie.

The yard on the property has plenty of space for activities or you can sit by the fire and listen to the water bubbling under the trees.

-- Guest Access --
Enjoy private access to the entire caboose, deck, hot tub, and BBQ grill. You are welcome to wander around the 2 acre property and wade in the stream

-- Pet Fee --
VRBO booking with pets can a bit confusing. We will send an additional charge of $50 per booking for pets if you missed selecting "I am traveling with pets" at time of booking

-- Interaction with Guests --
We would love to get to know if you have questions about the area or things to do. Simply drop us a message or say hi! If you prefer privacy that is great with us as well

What a Magickal Experience!

We loved it all. It was a stop on our daughters 3rd birthday road-trip through Colorado. She loves trains and she couldn’t have been anymore elated to have “her train house”. It was so cozy and comfortable. Thank you for helping bring some of our baby’s birthday dreams come true.
