About this property

Little Red Caboose with a View in the Scenic Columbia River Gorge

  • 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.
