Mentone/Valley Head! Stay in a real Train Caboose! Close to parks and falls...
In Mentone/Valley Head...All aboard our Southern Railways "bay-window" train car caboose! 3 miles to mentone city center and within 5 to Desoto Falls, Desoto State Park, Brow Park and the shops of Mentone. Who can say they have stayed in a train car?!
!!! Now doing "Day Stays"! We call it a "Whistle Stop". Would you like to book the day at the caboose to rest, relax, refresh, eat, work, shower, nap? You can book the caboose from 10-4 on available Mondays, Tuesday and Wednesdays. Just like an overnight stay, you have use of the caboose and it's grounds. *We still have a max occupancy of 4 people, no smoking parties or animals. Rate $ 110 Please message here if interested. CLaudiascaboose. PLEASE DO A REQUEST TO BOOK IF INTERESTED. DO NOT BOOK A REGULAR NIGHTLY STAY.
This was once a real, working Southern Railways caboose and now sets on a track section between active Norfolk Southern railroad tracks and hwy 117.
The caboose was lovingly renovated by Claudia and her husband Robert over the past 2 years. It's decorated in a " midcentury, industrial" style that reflects the era that it was in service while maintaining some of the original features of a working caboose. It has 2 areas for sleeping, a bedroom with privacy and a sleep sofa in the common area.
The kitchenette has such amenities as a coffee bar, microwave, toaster oven/air fryer, dishwasher, compact fridge and small freezer. Table for 4 with adequate room to eat or play board games.
The couch is also a full size sleeper. There is a 32 inch smart TV in the livingroom for your entertainment. The " master bedroom" consists of a queen size mattress and bed with luxury linens.
Open the " original" caboose bathroom door for a " first class" experience. Unique tiled shower, toilet and sink.
The outdoor space consists of a deck, park- style grill, firepit and bluetooth speaker. Watch the train and wave to the conductor from the back of the property!
The property itself backs up to a norfolk Southern railroad with a variety of traincars sure to satisfy any railfan.
The caboose is located less than 5 miles down the mountain from Mentone, Alabama and all the natural attractions in the area- Desoto Falls, Desoto State Park, LIttle River Canyon, Cloudland State Park, Brow park and many trails for walking or biking.
*You are about 175 ft from the railroad tracks and you will hear the train whistle blow of the train as it passes by. Times the train passes by are unpredictable. (This is not a main line so traffic is light on the rails)
You will be experiencing what the train conductor experienced on a working caboose only in a more luxury interior.
Vist Alabama's most unique stay at Claudia's caboose!

Über den Gastgeber
Zu Gast bei Claudia Mountainwood cottages&Caboose
The reason we added this caboose to our portfolio of rentals is because we love trains! What is more "Americana" then a train? Claudia's Caboose was really a 2 year renovation by myself and my husband. We combined the authentic with a little bit of luxury to give you the upgraded version of what a conductor, engineer or Railroad worker would experience. Yes, ocassionally you will hear the train horn but there is something reminiscent and romantic about the days when the caboose was always at the end of the train. We hope you enjoy this unique, once in a lifetime experience.
Darum fiel die Entscheidung auf diese Unterkunft
One can't put a train car just anywhere! Valley Head is just down the mountain from Mentone and has a rich history in the railroad. The caboose is in the center of town, with the railroad tracks in the backyard. (about 75 ft away). A perfect spot, a perfect town with the friendliest people around.
Das macht diese Unterkunft einzigartig
It's a real train caboose!
