Now that Spring is officially upon us, it’s a fantastic time to plan a little weekend away. How about a weekend by a beautiful lake in this historic caboose from the L&N Railroad? Take a look:

The lakeside caboose is a comfy, cozy and convenient getaway just 30 minutes outside Columbia.

This lodge-chic former caboose was brought in by rail and placed alongside picturesque Lake Murray.

It’s perfectly perched along the lake and comes with kayaks, a canoe and life jackets - all free to use during your stay.

During renovations the owners added on to the caboose, creating a spacious living room and a second bedroom with a queen bed.

In all, this lakeside gem can sleep up to five people.

Enjoy cooking up all those fish you’ll catch in Lake Murray in the lovely kitchen complete with utensils, dishes, and cookware.

And…hopefully those fish are bigger than this one!

Located on a dead end street on a protected deep water cove, this unique glamping caboose is a one-of-a-kind experience just waiting for you to make it your own.

The caboose has a two-night minimum stay, but we think once you get there you’ll want more than two nights in this fantastic spot.
