Stunning 1927 Historic RR Caboose X61 Train car with Master Suite Sleeps 4
This 1927 Southern Railway Caboose X61 is located right in the heart of the Charming Historic Railway town of Saluda, North Carolina overlooking the railway tracks, once the steepest railway grade in the United States until the trains stopped running through Saluda. One of 10 built in 1927 for Central of Georgia and approaching it's 100th Birthday it's been restored and now has all the modern amenities to make you feel right at home yet retaining it's historic charm. This Historic Caboose includes a full kitchen including all stainless-steel appliances, Refrigerator-Freezer, a full Oven featuring an AirFryer, Microwave, combo Coffee/Keurig maker as well as all the cooking and dishware utensils you'll need. Additionally is the Living Room with a very comfortable futon and sitting area with a 32" HDTV with Spectrum cable. Step up to the Cupola and enjoy looking out and imagine how the railmen saw it years ago to let the conductors know of impending perils. For your comfort to compliment this special train car we've added a Master Suite with a King Bed, a large bathroom with double sinks, 65" LG Smart HDTV with Spectrum Cable service and a walk-in closet Both TV's will accommodate all streaming services In addition there's a large front covered deck with ample seating. We've also added a very spacious Saluda City View Rooftop Terrace where you can enjoy your favourite drinks with a wonderful view overlooking the City of Saluda and the railway tracks that is the steepest grade on the Eastern Seaboard.

Have breakfast or lunch at the Wakey Monkey or Wildflour Bakery , have dinner at one of the many restaurants in town or take a short ride to Tryon, Hendersonville or Asheville and many other charming towns. Choose from plenty of activities including kayaking down the Green River, Ziplining down the Gorge, hiking or cycling some of the most scenic roads you'll find anywhere. If you are a cyclist just keep your bikes and cycling gear on the deck and head out to some of the best cycling in Western North Carolina. The Hotel Domestique 17 is located just 15 miles down the beautiful Greenville Watershed Road.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Escape. It was quiet but close to everything. We loved being able to walk into town. Saluda is such a great place and this place made it even more special.
We loved our stay and plan to re visit again!!! Our kids were so surprised when they found out we were actually staying in a caboose.. my son loves trains. So close to everything we wanted to do!!! Ken was great with communicating with me and answering my questions as I had them... A much needed relaxing getaway south a great view!!!!
We spent four amazing nights at The Escspe! It’s such a cool place and perfect for my family, with a kitchen, full bathroom, and washer/dryer. We enjoyed evenings on the rooftop deck. Saluda is such a cute town. We are already planning to come back!
Wonderful spot! Loved the train details and cleanliness of the caboose. Perfect for kids and being so walkable to Saluda. Would definitely recommend and stay again!
This property was fantastic . How could you not love staying in a 1800s caboose . The property was very clean and love location to town . We loved the upper level that overlooked the town with firepit and gas grill. We used the washer and dryer which were brand new. We did some hiking , exploring , wineries etc and still didn't a lot of time at this property . I would definitely recommend booking this property . We would definitely stay here again .
Wow!! What an enchanting weekend away! The Escape was so clean and comfortable. The finishing touches were absolutely perfect! And the walk to town was just what the heart needed. Thank you for all your thoughtful touches! We will be back to visit again soon!
Enjoyed our stay at the Caboose and our first time in Saluda. There's lots of great hiking and cute little shops close by. Host was very responsive with any questions we had.
Perfect location!! Awesome place! Very neat and clean. I also loved how it was so easy to get to from the interstate. There were 2 play grounds within walking distance, a good selection of places to eat within walking distance, and places to get drinks. The owner was quick to respond and was very accommodating. We will definitely come back!
Enjoyed our stay in sweet Saluda! The Caboose was a great location, easy walk to restaurants, parks and stores. Easy checkin, large and comfortable master bedroom and bathroom. Host was easy and quick to communicate. Upper deck is enjoyable and our 4 year old loved staying in on the train.
We had another great time at the caboose. As always it was easy to check in and it was clean and well stocked. We had a great time and hope to be back soon.
Sweet and unique stay in downtown Saluda, NC. The caboose was very well appointed and thoughtfully designed. It had everything we needed to enjoy a few nights in this nice little mountain town.
My best friend and I stayed in the caboose for the weekend and enjoyed Saluda and the nearby hiking. It was wonderful to be able to walk to restaurants and the place was beautiful.Communication with host was top notch!!! Makes me want to move to Saluda!!! :)
We were impressed with the cleanliness of the property! We loved the rooftop fire pit.
Be aware that during rafting season, the nearby rafting company starts up around 7:30am.
We didn't want to leave!! Such an amazing place in a really great town. The Caboose was so warm and cozy. It has everything we needed. The rooftop deck was so great in the evenings. A great little piece history. I have already recommended it to all our friends.
We really enjoyed staying at the Caboose. Great location for the areas we like to visit. Loved all the detail inside and outside! Great master addition. Look forward to another visit in the future. The weather prevented us from being able to fully enjoy the outside. We did enjoy the little time we did !
As a major Southern Railway buff, having the opportunity to stay in Central of Georgia X-61was simply outstanding. The mix of modern / rustic decor and the railroad history is just right. The way that this Caboose has been preserved and re-imagined, while being historically accurate, provides every comfort of home imaginable with some bouses!
It was an exceptional birthday surprise and I look forward to returning.
The property is within walking distance to restaurants and shops. If you have a truck or large vehicle the parking behind the caboose is very tight and turning around takes a bit more than a 03 point turn.
