1926 B&o Caboose Centrally Located Within The Hocking Hills

If unique is what your looking for bring the family and stay in our 1926 B&O Caboose at Fiddlestix Village. When cabooses became obsolete several decades ago many of them became treasured possessions of former railroad workers. This particular caboose found a home in a rural horse pasture in Vinton County Ohio. Over the years it has served as a child's playhouse, hunting cabin, and even used for storage.
Since being acquired by Fiddlestix Village this caboose has undergone a magnificent restoration complete with a working railroad crossing sign. While maintaining the original 24 foot long by 8 foot wide dimensions we were able to create a truly magical space for family vacation lodging. Inside you will find two twin beds, a stunning kitchenette with a built in table for dinning and games, bath facilities (shower, sink, toilet), and space for two flip-chairs where your children can sleep comfortably in their sleeping bags. On the outside the caboose features a large covered platform-like deck which offers additional space for plenty of relaxation and outdoor dining.

Extremely cute and lovely
Beautiful little village of rentals with the caboose being, what i think, the best. Very small but also manageable with two 6 foot tall adults... it's tight at that height so be aware. Great location for all of hocking hills! Thanks so much and will definitely be staying again!

Anniversary Getaway
Everything was very clean and organized. Heaters worked perfectly and the water worked good and was clean. Loved this unique cozy experience and was grateful to be able to have the dog we’ve raised for the past 10 years along for the trip! This was his first trip with us and his company made it all the more memorable. We loved reading the notes from past guest and the signature of the author in the B&O rr museum book was very cool! We visited ash cave, mayas burritos, and Rockbridge on Saturday. Can’t wait to visit again someday with our kids.

This should be a 5/5
This place was everything we wanted. My kids loved it. The caboose was so cool. Accommodations were perfect for a couple and two small kids. They shared a bed. The kitchenette also had a flat griddle, electric stove top and toaster to meet all our cooking needs. We had a fire outside at night and it was great to be off of devices for a weekend. We had a blast. The major draw back was the seasonal lady bugs, which detracted away from our overall experience. The owner was polite enough to move us to a different room and the trip was a success. If you don’t stay at the caboose, I would strongly consider the other accommodations on this site. I appreciate the effort that the owner has put into each venue to provide an eclectic stay.

Cold Weather
The weather turned out very cold which affected the amenities of the cabin we stayed in. It had heat, but it wasn't enough to keep us warm. Also, by the second day, it froze some of the water lines as we lost hot water and we were left with just a drip of water from the kitchen sink. Also, the tv didn't work, it wouldn't connect to the satelite dish. We were thankful that the host, Jarod, worked with us to get a refund for the third night. It was just one of those unfortunate things with the weather getting so cold and snowy. We already got your notice for the refund for the 3rd night. I think the caboose would be great in warmer weather because it had a nice porch attached and would have been nice to sit out there.

This was the COOLEST place to stay! It was comfy, quiet, peaceful, all around lovely! It was also only about 6 minutes away from Hocking Hills hiking areas and 12 minutes Old Man’s Cave! Wonderful wonderful wonderful. I can’t say enough about this place! Definitely stay! Memories that will last a lifetime!

Great but lady bugs were everywhere
It was a great stay, I wish it incorporated the train’s history in it better and maybe a pull out couch? There were hundreds of lady Bugs crawling on us and our pillows and everything else in the caboose in general. It was a little frustrating to not have a clean place to stay after traveling all day.

Unique housing near Hocking Hills State Park. Offers privacy and, while small, the amenities are complete. Lovely stay!

Cute, quiet place to stay.
Needed to find a place so I could officiate a wedding in Hocking Hills. The property was easy to find. My only issue was internet access. I had to stand at the sink to get good signal. It wouldn't have been an issue but I had to do some work and this made it more difficult. It has a small refridgerator and microwave so bring food since Hocking Hills does not have as many convenient places to eat close by like other tourist spots. But overall a cute place with all of the amenities that you need. Would be a great place to bring a friend or one or two kids.
