Out along Wisconsin’s western border, between Prairie du Chien and LaCrosse, there’s a real, 1954 train caboose sitting on five acres of land just waiting for you to come and visit it. It’s one of the most charming caboose cabins in the state. Near to the Mississippi River, staying in the caboose puts you right next to great hiking and fishing in the warmer months and amazing ice climbing in the winter months.

The caboose sleeps four, but it’s all set up to be a romantic getaway, complete with a hot tub gazebo out back.
