One of the most unique stays in Pennsylvania, this authentic caboose has been turned into an Airbnb and is located right outside of Shade Gap. It’s the perfect location for a secluded getaway and is equipped with everything you need for a relaxing stay.
Upon arrival, you’ll immediately feel like you’re at a train station; a railroad crossing sign included.
The good news is you’ll be free of the hustle and bustle of an actual station. The only noises you’ll hear during your stay are the chirping of birds and the humming of natural beauty around you.
The interior of the caboose is updated with modern fixtures, but certain aspects were added with the historic origin of the train car in mind.
You’ll find grab rails throughout the Airbnb in addition to a ladder leading to the lofted section, similar to what you would find in the original caboose.

With one queen bed and two twin lofted beds, there’s room for up to four people in the caboose.
Firewood is included in the rental, so all you’ll need is a cast iron or a little tinfoil to create a simply exquisite breakfast, lunch, or dinner over the fire.
EBT Railroad is the oldest narrow gauge railroad left standing in the country, and Rockhill Trolley Museum is the first operating trolley museum in Pennsylvania. Both are conveniently located, only a 10-minute drive from the Airbnb.
