Natural Bridge Cottage Summary

My C&O Caboose is located in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia near Natural Bridge and Lexington. It is a restored 'woody' caboose which was retired from the C&O railroad in the late 1970's after more than 60 years of service as the quarters for train crews in the coal fields of West Virginia. It has undergone extensive renovation and now is a unique vacation rental near the beautiful Natural Bridge and the historic valley town of Lexington. I have the exterior restored to what the car probably looked like in the 1930's. The interior has been extensively renovated to include a bedroom with double sized captains bed with memory foam mattress and drawers built into it's base. This bed was custom made for the caboose by an Amish furniture maker in Ohio. The bath has a shower and pedestal sink and is located under the original cupola which is still accessible via rungs on the wall of the hall. Smaller children might like to go up here or even sleep up in the cupola. 'All Aboard!!! Tom

Notes: The caboose is small, only about 200 square feet. I have made every effort to use all the space effectively and to make it comfortable. The brick patio has a gas grill, a gas hobo fire, and railroad depot type benches. There are railroad type lanterns to light the patio in the evening. Children may be able to sleep up in the cupola- it is only 5 feet by five feet and 2 feet high. The daybed can be used by one person but it is only 2 feet wide. Small children should plan on bringing their sleeping bags. If you have questions, call me. I am available until 8PM!
