Stay in a fully restored Castaway Caboose along the scenic Greenbrier River

Experience complete solitude in a remote wilderness setting

Enjoy a round-trip river ride to your private overnight location

Cozy accommodations with modern comforts and campfire under the stars

Every detail has been carefully preserved to evoke the nostalgia of classic rail travel, while thoughtfully upgraded to provide modern conveniences. From the polished wood interiors to the panoramic windows that frame the serene landscapes outside, each suite is a sanctuary for relaxation. Whether you are an avid rail enthusiast or simply seeking a unique retreat, the ambiance of these cabooses transports you to a time when travel was an experience, not just a destination. As you settle into your cozy quarters, the gentle sway of the rails beneath you and the whisper of the forested surroundings create a sense of peaceful isolation that is hard to find elsewhere.

Beyond the walls of the caboose, the surroundings invite quiet exploration and mindful wandering. Step outside to breathe in the crisp mountain air, wander along scenic trails, or simply gaze at the rolling hills and sparkling waters in reflective solitude. The Castaway Caboose offers an opportunity to reconnect with nature, your thoughts, and the simple joys of life. Evenings can be spent watching the sunset paint the sky with brilliant hues or stargazing under a canopy of endless night sky, uninterrupted by city lights. Every moment aboard these historical railcars feels like stepping into a story where comfort, adventure, and serenity coexist. This unique retreat is not just a stay; it is a journey into calm, a celebration of the railroading past, and an invitation to drift away from the everyday into an experience that lingers in memory long after the journey ends.

Very poor and far getting to fire pit with no good steps or hand rail. There is no swimming at the end of the line site or good access to river. The first aid kit was a joke and no snake bite kit. NOT WORTH DOING.

We went on castaway caboose in June and the employees were absolutely wonderful! We had to leave early due to my daughter being sick. John went above and beyond to help us. Andrew and him made sure it was a memorable experience for my son. All of us loved it and ask us multiple times a week when we are going back. It was a beautiful place to camp. I cannot say enough wonderful things about everyone there and their kindness meant so much to us.

Just got back from the Castaway Caboose and had an awesome time! Kids loved it, and we were there with another family so they were able to put both cabooses at the same camp site which made for a great time. Super nice and accommodating folks, and the cleaning crew does a fantastic job. No worries about having a “dirty cabin” feel here. Hiking consists of walking down the tracks, but the kiddos loved playing in the river more than anything else. Pulled out one 6” brook trout over a couple hours of fishing. Hevener station has the more readily available access to a fishing hole if that is your thing. Love getting back to nature and unplugging from all the electronics for a couple of days, but there is also a hot shower at the end of the day. Definitely put it on your list if you are lucky enough to score some reservations.
