Its the most unique place we have ever stayed. The caboose had so many of the original feature. The Innkeepers are readily available and very kind.The outside fire pit area was enjoyed nightly. ##### Casey J. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Edward L.

Plenty of space. Loved that it had full kitchen, AC and bathroom all inside. Wished we stayed longer. Loved the sitting spaces and the history of the caboose from the past. The location was tucked away and quiet and loved the views of the railroad. Would have been more ideal in another section of Palmer but makes sense it was near the Steaming Tender. ##### T K. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Casey J. Jun 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Caboose it This caboose property is quite the train adventure. All authentic super clean train fixtures and nostalgic decor will lead you to believe the train has left the station!The family can hang out in the private yard with picnic tables ,a fire pit and grill,play games,and watch the train activity that takes place below the property!The town of Palmer is filled with the most welcoming and accommodating residents. There are more adventures in town like eating at the luncheon train car or dining in the restored train depot. Antiquing and thrifting is plentiful.Relax on Caboose property or go fishing. We are making this an annual vacay.We find something new to enjoy each visit. ##### Casey J. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Louise Sep 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Husband is a railfan he was at the tracks several times a day ##### Louise Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### David K. Sep 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Charming concept really worked Staying in a caboose was memorable for my boys. They thought it was very cool. Fit for purpose, IMO, aside from potential to fall out of top bunks. This is a cabin near train tracks and not a luxury getaway in the Berkshires - it's a little far from things. ##### David K. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Janice Apr 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Loved everything about the caboose. Immaculately clean and the attention to detail. The only problem is the beds. They have the old metal springs which one of the most uncomfortable and painful sleeping experiences of my life. Maybe ok for little kids but not a person in their 50’s. We ended up sleeping in the 2 chairs. Area did not have too much but I did love watching the functional trains across the back area. I would give my review 5 stars except for the beds. ##### Janice Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Silver Reef Casino Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Bellingham-Hotels-Silver-Reef-Casino-Resort.h16231932.Hotel-Information) > > [The Trail in Adams - Berkshires’ Art Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Adams-Hotels-Topia-Inn-An-Organic-Oasis.h12259511.Hotel-Information) > > [Great Wolf Lodge Boston / Fitchburg, MA](https://www.expedia.ca/Leominster-Hotels-Great-Wolf-Lodge-Boston-Fitchburg.h8458771.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Inn Hyannis - Cape Cod](https://www.expedia.ca/Hyannis-Hotels-Comfort-Inn.h1240460.Hotel-Information) > > [The Corsair & Cross Rip Oceanfront Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Dennis-Port-Hotels-The-Corsair-Cross-Rip-Oceanfront-Resort.h894158.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbor Hotel Provincetown](https://www.expedia.ca/Provincetown-Hotels-Harbor-Hotel-Provincetown.h421590.Hotel-Information) > > [Freebird Motor Lodge by Reverie Boutique Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/West-Yarmouth-Hotels-Hunters-Green-Cape-Cod.h6589307.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Boston-Andover](https://www.expedia.ca/Andover-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Boston-Andover.h25755.Hotel-Information) > > [Chatham Bars Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Chatham-Hotels-Chatham-Bars-Inn.h19139.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Club Vacations Oak n’ Spruce Resort in the Berkshires by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/South-Lee-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Club-Vacations-Oak-N-Spruce-Resort.h20875006.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyannis Travel Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Hyannis-Hotels-Hyannis-Travel-Inn.h1379109.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Marlborough/Apex Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Worcester-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-MarlboroughApex-Center.h20178059.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Cape Cod Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Hyannis-Hotels-Best-Western-Cape-Cod-Hotel.h28183.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Royal Plaza Hotel & Trade Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Worcester-Hotels-Best-Western-Royal-Plaza-Hotel-Trade-Center.h14628.Hotel-Information) > > [Cape Cod Family Resort and Parks](https://www.expedia.ca/West-Yarmouth-Hotels-Cape-Cod-Family-Resort-And-Inflatable-Park.h5306790.Hotel-Information) > > [Brass Key Guesthouse - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Provincetown-Hotels-Brass-Key-Guesthouse-Adults-Only.h18632862.Hotel-Information) > > [Club Wyndham Bentley Brook](https://www.expedia.ca/Hancock-Hotels-Club-Wyndham-Bentley-Brook.h973618.Hotel-Information) > > [Tulalip Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Tulalip-Resort-Casino.h2161524.Hotel-Information) > > [Sea Crest Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/North-Falmouth-Hotels-Sea-Crest-Beach-Hotel.h25567.Hotel-Information) > > [Northside Motel](https://www.expedia.ca/Williamstown-Hotels-Northside-Motel.h1581984.Hotel-Information) > > [Six Flags Great Escape Lodge & Indoor Waterpark](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-George-Hotels-Six-Flags-Lodge-Indoor-Waterpark.h1385446.Hotel-Information) > > [Darien Lake Lodge on the Lake](https://www.expedia.ca/Corfu-Hotels-Darien-Lake-Lodge-On-The-Lake.h13279584.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Boston - Milford by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Milford-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Boston-Milford.h555108.Hotel-Information) > > [Bayside Resort Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/West-Yarmouth-Hotels-Bayside-Resort-Hotel.h896697.Hotel-Information) > > [Canad Inns Destination Center Grand Forks](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Forks-Hotels-Canad-Inns-Destination-Center-Grand-Forks.h1713856.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Desert-Springs-Resort-Spa.h17123.Hotel-Information) > > [Residence Inn By Marriott Boston Andover](https://www.expedia.ca/Andover-Hotels-Residence-Inn-By-Marriott-Boston-Andover.h795379.Hotel-Information) > > [Embassy Suites by Hilton Boston Marlborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Worcester-Hotels-Embassy-Suites-By-Hilton-Boston-Marlborough.h22959.Hotel-Information) > > [SpringHill Suites by Marriott Wrentham Plainville](https://www.expedia.ca/Wrentham-Hotels-SpringHill-Suites-By-Marriott-Wrentham-Plainville.h57749189.Hotel-Information) > > [The Brook at Turning Stone Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Utica-Hotels-Turning-Stone-Resort-And-Casino.h1684407.Hotel-Information)
