Train holiday rentals in Blue Ridge Mountains

This is the second time that we have stayed with Donnie. The first time was in one of the cabooses. This time we stayed in The Depot. Both of these places were as described and pictured! I had good enough phone service that we did not miss having WiFi and there was cable for television. I had two children with me, an eight year old and a twelve year old, and they were both fine there! And we could look out the front door and see Buffalo Mountain. Because of Hurricane Helene damage, we did not get to go there but it was not for lack of trying! Sunday morning before we left, I got to see a deer in the pasture behind the depot! And some beautiful sunrises!

Beautiful location, place as described. Jacuzzi was great. Lots of hot water. Good water pressure, good shower. Bed was comfortable. Donnie was helpful and responsive.

We wanted to do something unique & different for our anniversary & this did NOT disappoint. From the “main” road you can see the 3 red cabooses up on the hill & our hearts smiled. They recently had storms & we could see where the flood waters deteriorated the sides of the driveway but it was still wide enough for us to pass another small vehicle if needed. Office Check in was a breeze and took less than five mins before we were standing in our getaway train(caboose) which is on a real track! We were the only ones staying this weekend but if others were present, there was plenty of room. Our furbabies throughly enjoyed having a large field in front of the cabooses to run in. The views from the swings were breathtaking especially during the sunsets. Once Inside, we enjoyed the comforts of home (except for a stove). The hotness of the water & the relaxing hot tub added to our experience. Some things were dated but that is to come with the territory. We hope to visit again in the fall.

Clean! Smelled great too. Geat distance (within 10min) to hiking (Ash Cave) in one direction and then a pizzeria with all kinds of drinks and snacks in the other. On a fairly traveled road in front, but also a great small space to explore right behind and firepit. Well kept! It was great for our young family. Very fun.

We really enjoyed our stay in the Mo-Pac caboose on your beautiful and peaceful ranch. It was such a unique experience—quiet, relaxing, and a great way to disconnect. We had a great time and would definitely recommend the stay for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with a unique twist! Thank you for being a great host.

We stayed with our two dogs at Donnie's caboose over Thanksgiving while visiting family in the area. The location was great and super close to our family. It was quiet, peaceful, and beautiful. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again!

Exactly as described. Great for a couple retreat and if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city life. We can’t wait for our next trip back.

The Apple Ridge caboose experience is perfect for anyone who loves the outdoors, peace, and animal sightings! We saw deer, turkeys, 3 huge Pileated Woodpeckers, and other birds. Grounds are beautiful and the staff was friendly! We’ll be back yearly.

What a wonderful place to get away and enjoy the beauty of nature. The fields, the flowers, the fireflies, and the cows made the experience! The setting was so beautiful and well thought out, and the caboose was renovated perfectly. Deb was such a wonderful host and the fresh eggs, bread, and smores kit was an extra special surprise. Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience!

The Little Red Caboose was the perfect place for our weekend with our 3 year old! The space was so cute and the history behind it was so interesting to read! You can tell there was a lot of work and love put into it. Would definitely recommend and we hope to stay again in the future.

I loved the place. I also like history , so to stay in a restored caboose was great. Bryan did a great job making this tiny space into a home. All the decorations had historical connections. He left UR codes to scan, so you could hear all about them..

This was one of our best rental experiences. The caboose was clean, had everything we needed, and used the space very well. We had plenty of room. We had planned to go into town for dinner, but after checking in, we wanted to soak up every moment on the farm, so we decided to use the grill for dinner and build a campfire for s’mores. We tied the pups out with us and sat outside until it was time for bed. The setting is incredibly peaceful yet we were able to get to a grocery store in 10 minutes. We hope we are able to return and stay here again in the future.

This was my 2nd stay in the Cabooses. I stayed in the Chessie caboose the first time and I loved it ! I stayed in the B&O Caboose this time and loved it! Both were awesome! Now my delema is which one to book the next time. If you want a beautiful view, comfort and something different. Check it out!

We loved the caboose!! It was such a comfortable, cozy, and delightful place to be. We would absolutely stay there again if we find ourselves in the area.

We had a unique, charming and a cozy stay at the Caboose with our 6 year old. The large fenced in backyard allowed plenty of space to spread out and was stocked with several backyard games. The interior was immaculate with everything well thought out. The large bathroom was a nice addition as well. The location allowed for easy visits to the city as well to waterfall country. There's also a great operating manual I'd recommend reading through to make the most of your stay. Looking forward to visiting again on our next trip to the area.

We loved The Escape! Such a cool Airbnb. Great location, very clean and we loved the rooftop deck!! We will definitely recommend to others. Thank you for sharing your caboose with us!

Beautiful surroundings, quiet except for the sounds of nature. Truly an epic destination. Would definitely return but with MORE friends! This trip was just the two of us.

Awesome place to stay. It was unique and I enjoyed my visit. The place was super clean and had everything I needed. Very peaceful location and conveniently located to all the attractions around it.
