Anniversary Getaway

My wife and I stayed for two nights to celebrate our 19yr anniversary. We got a bike ride in on the Katy and checked out local watering holes. The Katy Caboose was cute. We enjoyed the deck on a beautiful starry night.

The Caboose was nice and cute. But I was not able to get there until much later in the day, and it was so dark out where the caboose is located, that I could not find it for a bit. It would be nice to have a light left on outside. I was not there much, I was at my sisters wedding for most of the weekend, but it did the job. I liked that there were snacks you could purchase.

Just what we needed

We REALLY needed an overnight stop in Hartsburg while biking the Katy Trail! About 20 miles per day is our limit!!! Your emergemcy stash of food for sale covered our lunch need, while we waited for the restraunt to open for supper. The caboose is a cute stay but probably way more comfortable when it is not so hot outside. The a/c made a valient effort to manage the temp. Thanks so much!

Clean, cozy stay! Loved that dogs were welcome, and there’s plenty of grassy space outside for walking them around (and of course, you’re right on the Katy Trail for walking as well!). Being directly across the street from the Burg made for an easy dinner and drink spot, and walking just one minute to get back to our lodging, which was fantastic. They also take quiet time serious - even though they were really busy that night, the patio was silent by bedtime, everyone was really respectful of nearby neighbors. Only notes are to please, please don’t underestimate the description saying the bathroom is “in the cottage next door.” There is very minimal lighting (which is necessary or there would be bugs galore!), and you have to go down a step out of the caboose, then down another short set of steps, then use your code to go through one locked door into a pitch black, eery basement, then use your code to get through the locked door to the bathroom… it’s quite a chore if you need to potty often. With the bathroom being such a hassle to get to, it would be really, really lovely for the caboose to have maybe a pitcher of water on the counter or one of those freestanding water refill jugs for ease of filling water bottles or a dog water bowl? And Kleenex, since toilet paper isn’t accessible if you need to blow your nose?
