There’s not much to the tiny town of Elbe. Located near the entrance of Mt. Rainier National Park, it’s a small pit stop with a population of 29 (really). But if you’re looking for a truly unique place to stay, look no further than The Hobo Inn, a glorified hotel on wheels. It’s the perfect place to stay for train lovers and adventurers.

The Hobo Inn is situated along Mountain Highway East in Elbe.

It's definitely easy to spot from the road.
These cars once played a huge role in the local railroad industry. Now, they're a hotel on wheels.

The cabooses came from all over the world, both by rail and by truck.
The Hobo Inn is actually one of largest collection of cabooses in North America.

And staying here is not only a one-of-a-kind experience, it's extremely pleasant.
The cabooses all come with large beds, full bathrooms, and all the comforts of home.

Some of them even have jetted tubs.
Despite being fully converted into a hotel on wheels, these cars still look every part the caboose.

Needless to say, if you have little ones who love trains (or if you're a fan yourself), this is the perfect place to stay.
And while the cars don't come equipped with kitchens, you'll have plenty of dining options nearby.

The Mt. Rainier Railroad Dining Company is onsite, and there's a delicious pizza car next door.
Rates for The Hobo Inn start at $149.99 nightly.

And it's well worth the price to enjoy such a unique experience.
