Red Caboose Motel & Restaurant

The lodge is located in Ronks, which made a good point of departure for the surrounding area. There are many name brand hotels. None offer cabooses for rooms. We staid in a 2x double bed caboose that worked well for the two of us. The staff is pleasant and helpful. Surrounded by farmland, the atmosphere is very relaxed. Hope to return.

I am a frequent guest at the Red Caboose and am always satisfied with the rooms and service and food at the onsite Casey Jones Restaurant. The only glitch was on my latest stay regarding access to the restaurant for 7:30AM opening. Normally, access to the restaurant is via the main entry for the front desk and gift shop which normally opens at 7AM. A portable sign on the outside deck points to that doorway for restaurant access. However, the front desk door was closed and locked as of 730AM and I tried again at 745AM to see the same result...The restaurant access sign was still pointing to the main entrance at that time as well. I discovered at that point by checking their website that the front desk weekday opening hours had changed from 7AM to 10AM so I figured that the restaurant hours had changed to 10 as well. I needed to be on the road well before 10 so I pondered alternate breakfast options. I went to turn my keys into a drop box at 8:25AM to find that the portable sign had been moved to another alternate doorway to allow restaurant entry before the main entrance opened so I was able to have breakfast, albeit an hour later than planned. My suggestion would be to have the front desk associate inform guests upon check-in about the alternate entry to the restaurant prior to 10AM due to the modified Front desk entry hours.

We liked the experience of staying in a caboose.

Fun experience 3rd time we did this.

Great staff, great concept well executed. You must try the Casey Jones restaurant too. The surrounding countryside is beautiful.

We love coming here for a long weekend! Very comfortable and cozy and clean and convenient to go antiquing.... restaurant/bar on site is a real bonus. Thoroughly enjoyed

Great little spot. Kid had a great time

Stayed one night with husband and grandchildren. The kids loved it! The room (train) was very clean and the beds were comfortable. The space is tight but that was expected. Easy check in and out. We had 4 bunks and a double bed. It is in the heart of Amish Country and would recommend especially if traveling with children.

The caboose was everything we expected and more
