About this house rental
About this space
Our little red caboose is located in the Columbia Gorge Scenic area, just 20 miles east of Portland, OR, and just a few miles east of Troutdale. It has its own bathroom with shower and a kitchenette, a queen bed in the main area & a double bed in the cupola. The caboose rests on 7+ acres, with a beautiful view, in a private park-like setting. There is lots to do in the area, hiking, biking, windsurfing, shopping and music and art events. There are also great restaurants and food carts in nearby Troutdale.
The space
A completely renovated, authentic railroad caboose, on a short piece of railroad track, resting on 7+ acres in the Columbia River Gorge, with a scenic view. The caboose has its own bathroom with shower and a kitchenette, a queen bed in the main area & a double bed in the cupola. There is a private deck off of the caboose, and a private picnic and campfire area next to the caboose.
Guest access
Complete and private use of the caboose, which has its own bathroom and kitchenette, as well as its own private picnicking and campfire space just outside of the caboose, and a private deck off of the back of the caboose. Cell phone reception is very good at our hill top location and there is also Wi Fi available. The TV has a fire-stick which can access Amazon Prime, etc and there are DVDs available in the caboose, including proclaimed top 10 train movies. Laundry facilities in the main house can be made available upon request and advance notice.
Other things to note
Sleeping in the cupola (2nd sleeping area) requires climbing up a ladder. The bed in the cupola is a 4' wide, 7' long, with 2 layers of 4" thick foam mattress. The caboose is often unavailable December through February, due to the winter weather conditions on the bluff where it is located.

Such a magical stay! The caboose was whimsical and perfectly outfitted for me my two friends. We loved listening to records, sitting out on the private deck, and having a fire at night. The beds were comfortable and the lofted bedroom was so cute! Also loved all the train decor throughout the caboose. The hosts even left us some homemade bread and plums from their orchard. Would highly recommend staying at this little gem of a place!

Very secluded but still close to all the hiking trails and sights. The caboose was really special and the property is beautiful. Thank you for letting us stay.

This was gem of a place to visit and stay a few nights. All of the care and love that went into making this caboose a home for someone is spelled out with every inch of this place. From the tile work in the shower to the record player with a very warm selection of records to keep you wanting to come back. Absolutely loved it!
