This caboose is first in line!!!!
Can’t say enough about how perfect this getaway was for my mom and me. Down to the natural light over the kitchen area from the caboose windows, the water pressure and temperature in the sparkling clean bathroom, and the pillow soft bed that allowed both of us to sleep through the night!!!! Would recommend to anyone who’s looking for a unique gem in Joplin!!!

Must Stay
The property is the most unique place we have ever stayed in! There’s way more room than most hotel rooms! The walk-in shower with rain head had just enough pressure! The Red Caboose is perfectly located to literally EVERYTHING! The accommodations were very surprising and extremely comfortable! Immediate responses from the owner/caretaker via text. Also available via call. Extra pillows, blankets, throws, towels! Absolutely perfect for me and hubby! The mini fridge was a huge bonus and the Keurig was just the perfect touch for this coffee loving duo! Extremely clean and comfortable! Don’t miss out on this hidden, convenient, unique, delightful, comfy, affordable and exceptional stay!!!
