Red Caboose Motel & Restaurant

The rooms, or the cabooses, were very clean and comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The surrounding grounds were wonderful to take evening walks or watch the Strasburg Railroad steam trains pass through. A small petting zoo, Amish buggy rides, and the Toy Train Museum are a very short walking distance from the cabooses. You park your car along side the caboose you are staying in. The Strasburg Railroad and Pennsylvania Train Museum are within a mile from the motel. Beautiful views of the Amish farms. The Casey Jones restaurant was a great place for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Highly recommend the Red Caboose Motel.

Such an interesting and fun experience spending a night in a train car! Plus, we had a meal in a train dining car! The hotel lobby was part of the gift shop and dining area and the receptionist was in uniform giving one another taste of being on a train. Very friendly staff. Our "room" (that is, train car) had comfortable beds, a large and well equipped (with shower AND a Jacuzzi bathtub), small refrigerator, microwave, TV, small table and 2 chairs. It was clean, quiet and functional. We could park our car right at our "room." The dining area was a short walk away and the food was very good. They had walking areas, petting animals, a toy train museum and offered buggy rides and Amish village tour. A large full size train museum was only a little drive away. It was a fun experience, great for kids. They had a handicapped accessible "room" as well for those needing it.

The staff was great. Gift shop was huge. Caboose theme was perfect for us and our grandson. Petting zoo had 3 piglets, super cute! The on site buggy rides were a huge hit with our 8 year old (and us). We went twice! The Toy Train museum is within walking distance and it was awesome. Loved it.

The staff at the hotel and restaurant are very kind and friendly. The property is clean and comfortable. There's a free petting zoo that my husband and I enjoyed just as much as the kids. There's a mini arcade, buggy rides, and you can watch the trains past by. That was the highlight for my husband and 5-year-old son. The food is so good and is reasonably priced. We had some car trouble, and the staff wasted no time helping us. My 15-year-old daughter is ready to move to Amish country because of the Red Caboose Motel! We'll definitely be back and for a longer period of time.

Room was great the kids loved staying in a train. The cute petting zoo was a nice touch! The restaurant onsite was also a good touch but I felt like it was pretty overpriced. I did like the that train ride for Strasburg was right next door pretty much!
