What a way to spend a vacation riding the rails in your very own Caboose. She's beautiful since being fully redone to make the visitor comfortable . Bedroom is at the back of the Caboose which has a Full size bed, new I might add. There is a full bath which has a walk in shower. .The Kitchen is fully equipped. but If you would like to grill out while enjoying the beautiful grounds, it's there for you also. You are 90 feet from Lake Independence which will thrill your desire to fish or just play in her nice warm inland water. THERE WILL BE A CANOE AND KAYAK AT YOUR DISPOSAL, MY COMPLIMENTS. You will enjoy air conditioning, internet and Direct T.V. There is a fire pit for your enjoyment. We have wonderful dark skies so you can be thrilled by all the BRIGHTstars.

Loved the setting! So unique! The hosts were very accommodating. Caboose had all the amenities, but the internet tended to be unpredictable at times. Great weather while we were there.

Staying in the caboose on Lake Independence was a very unique and fun experience. The cabin is small, but cozy and comfortable, and you can’t beat the grounds and the view. Gina and Paul a delight - always available, never intrusive, ever generous. We would definitely come back.

a perfect getaway!
We had an enjoyable stay. The caboose has everything necessary in it and outside. Gina and Paul are very nice and responsive hosts. Gina's gorgeous garden is the best place ever to have your morning coffee! The area is full of natural wonders, and you will rarely see other people on your hiking trail. We are definitely coming back!

Great location
We had a short stay (just two nights) so didn't have a lot of time to enjoy Independence Lake but it looked fun for kayaking and just floating around. Our hosts were so friendly and greeted us when we arrived, made sure we had everything we needed. We hiked around Sugarloaf Mountain, and visited the beach on Lake Superior which was awesome. Overall very cozy and beautiful location if water and woods are your thing. Close enough to Marquette to enjoy that area too. Eat at Crams cafe before heading home, it was delicious!

Unique, Comfortable & Relaxing 😌
Totally loved our stay in the adorable little Caboose. The set up is perfect and the bed was very comfortable. Gina and Paul were great hosts and their property is lovely. Enjoyed Gina's beautiful garden drinking my coffee and watching the cute little chipmunks chasing each other all over the place. The lake provided a wonderful background for many gorgeous pictures. Totally recommend this special place to anyone wanting a unique experience and a relaxing vacation.

Perfect weekend getaway
The caboose was perfect for our anniversary getaway weekend. The property owners are friendly and welcoming. The lake is beautiful and we had use of a canoe and kayaks. There was also a grill and fire pit available. Upon check in we were given a sheet with places to go visit including waterfalls and a beach. Gina and Paul are great people, we will definitely be making a return trip.
