Sleep Aboard a 1928 Rail Car: Katie’s Kaboose on Wolfe Creek.
Katie’s Kaboose is a secluded, non‑primitive micro‑lodge: a circa‑1928 train car outfitted with antiques from the 1900s and modern comforts such as air conditioning, a kitchenette, and a private bathroom. The property pairs indoor conveniences with outdoor features — a deck, picnic table, charcoal grill, fire ring and access to a nature trail — making the stay both evocative and practical.

A Frisco Railway car turned guest cabin
This coach dates to circa 1928 and was used on the Frisco Railway Line running from Pensacola to San Francisco. Furnished with antiques from the early 1900s and opened to guests in 2016, the kaboose is designed to evoke the era it once served.
Vintage interior with modern essentials
Inside you’ll find a full‑size bed, linens and basic cooking utensils; a kitchenette with a two‑burner stovetop, mini fridge, microwave and coffee pot (there is not a conventional oven); a bathroom with shower, sink and toilet; and air conditioning units for year‑round comfort.
Shared lawn, creek views and a nature trail
The kaboose sits on a property that shares a large lawn with the Schoolhouse Inn and fellow train‑car lodgings, and offers a deck, picnic table, charcoal grill, fire ring, hammock and a view of Wolfe Creek, plus access to a nature trail that loops the grounds.
