Stunning 1927 Historic RR Caboose X61 Train car with Master Suite Sleeps 4
This 1927 Southern Railroad Caboose X61 is located right in the heart of the Charming Historic Railroad town of Saluda, North Carolina overlooking the railroad tracks, once the steepest railroad grade in the United States until the trains stopped running through Saluda. One of 10 built in 1927 for Central of Georgia and approaching it's 100th Birthday it's been restored and now has all the modern amenities to make you feel right at home yet retaining it's historic charm. This Historic Caboose includes a full kitchen including all stainless-steel appliances, Refrigerator-Freezer, a full Oven featuring an AirFryer, Microwave, combo Coffee/Keurig maker as well as all the cooking and dishware utensils you'll need. Additionally is the Living Room with a very comfortable futon and sitting area with a 32" HDTV with Spectrum cable. Step up to the Cupola and enjoy looking out and imagine how the railmen saw it years ago to let the conductors know of impending perils.
For your comfort to compliment this special train car we've added a Master Suite with a King Bed, a large bathroom with double sinks, 65" LG Smart HDTV with Spectrum Cable service and a walk-in closet Both TV's will accommodate all streaming services
In addition there's a large front covered deck with ample seating. We've also added a very spacious Saluda City View Rooftop Terrace where you can enjoy your favorite beverages with a wonderful view overlooking the City of Saluda and the railroad tracks that is the steepest grade on the Eastern Seaboard. There's also a gas firepit up top as well as a rolling Ice chest and Weber gas grille.
Just walk out your front door and step back in time in this historic town. Have breakfast or lunch at the Wakey Monkey or Wildflour Bakery , have dinner at one of the many restaurants in town or take a short ride to Tryon, Hendersonville or Asheville and many other charming towns. Choose from plenty of activities including kayaking down the Green River, Ziplining down the Gorge, hiking or cycling some of the most scenic roads you'll find anywhere.
If you are a cyclist just keep your bikes and cycling gear on the deck and head out to some of the best cycling in Western North Carolina. The Hotel Domestique 17 is located just 15 miles down the beautiful Greenville Watershed Road. Inspired by world famous cyclist George Hincapie this is a great place to ride to take a break and head back up the watershed to Saluda.
If you just want to sit out on the upper terrace or the front deck and enjoy the sights of Saluda, you can just do that. We think you may find this to be your favorite place to enjoy and spend your time at this special historic treasure.
There's also two other Escapes, https://www.vrbo.com/490243 and https://www.vrbo.com/1158070. You may also have interest in being our guest at one of these Escapes as they can accommodate 10 or more Guest.
