About this villa rental
Escape to this historic caboose outside Blackfoot, Idaho. Western Pacific No. 434 is a 1955 built bay window caboose that was used on the Feather River route between Salt Lake City, Utah and Oakland, California before being retired. It has been updated to be a cozy tiny home while retaining much of the original layout. This includes original cabinets, closets, ceiling rails, and bathroom.
434 is located on a quiet country road conveniently located 3 miles from Blackfoot and I-15. On nearly an acre of ground, there is plenty of space to relax and unwind. Enjoy our custom firepit, perfect for roasting a few marshmallows or watching the stars come out. A variety of wildlife frequents the area, including deer, fox, heron, ibis, sandhill cranes, and numerous songbirds.
The interior has been retrofitted with all the necessities for a comfortable stay. As you enter the caboose, you will find a set of bunk beds built in next to the original torpedo and fusee box. Train theme books and toys are stocked by the bunkbeds for kids. Opposite the bunk beds is a built-in bar with seating for four. The kitchen has all the basics necessary for cooking including an induction cooktop, pots and pans, utensils, oil and spices. In the center of the caboose, a living room area with a love seat and chairs is tucked into the bay windows. The original restroom has been converted into a small wet bath. Finally, at the far end of the caboose a bedroom area is outfitted with a comfortable full size bed. Games, a smart TV, and high speed internet are provided for your entertainment.
Outside, a patio with chairs and a dining table expands the available space. Make use of the propane grill or fire pit for outdoor cooking.
While the caboose has all the necessities, there are some inconveniences that are inherent with a tiny home and maintaining the original caboose features.

This place was great! We loved it so much- the kids had the BEST time but my spouse and I also had a great time and loved the theme carried throughout even to the small details of the books and games shared.

We absolutely LOVED this little caboose! The location was beautiful and the caboose was homey and cozy!! The history that they included about acquiring the caboose and how they moved it and transformed it into a rental was so amazing to learn about! We plan on returning with our two kids as soon as time allows.

Really cool experience, would recommend to anyone for a cool stay in a train caboose. Plenty of room for 4 to sleep, amazing complimentary snacks, teas, coffee, hot chocolate and more. They provide a grill and a firepit for cooking and hanging out. They also provide seasonings. Very quiet, relaxing and plenety restaurant options nearby. The cool attraction would be the idaho potato museum.

Everything was amazing. The bed was a little uncomfortable for our liking and the shower could have been hotter but really overall was an amazing train car caboose experience. They did an amazing job fixing up the caboose. I just hope people take care of the caboose while they use it. Also I would recommend a sign in book. It would be cool to see who uses the caboose.
