As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.

We’ve all probably heard that old saying “it’s the journey, not the destination,” right? Well, that may be true in many cases. But, what about when the destination means falling asleep at night in a restored caboose? That’s right. When you stay at this railroad-themed motel in Pennsylvania, you’ll sleep in an authentic boxcar — just one of the many things that will make your stay unforgettable.

Settle into your very own cozy caboose at The Red Caboose Motel, boasting more than 40 charming cabooses, in Ronks.
