This Restored Caboose From 1941 Is the Perfect Airbnb for Train Lovers

All aboard your next Airbnb stay.

Train lovers and history buffs alike can enjoy this unique stay in Lock Haven, Pennsylvania on Airbnb. This affordable and historic whole-property stay is a vintage train caboose that has been restored to its original 1941 condition.

You might not think of a train caboose as a comfortable stay, but thanks to some retrofitting, this stay has "all the comforts of home," according to the Airbnb listing. Of course, since it was once part of an operating train, there is only room for two people.

The caboose sleeps two people in two single beds. There is also a dedicated dinette booth for meals or working remotely, and there is a shower, flush toilet, sinks, kitchenette with a microwave, free Wi-Fi, and a TV with Netflix loaded so you can enjoy a little entertainment when you're not discovering the area.

Bald Eagle State Forest, Sproul State Forest, and Rothrock State Forest are all within a reasonable driving distance. It's also about a two-hour drive from Wilkes-Barre and Harriburg, Pennsylvania for guests who want to explore some larger towns.
