The caboose was everything we hoped it would be. It’s a completely original experience, exactly what we were looking for a short romantic getaway. One of the best and most unique stays we’ve had anywhere in the world.
It’s rustic but comfortable. The sheets and bed are quite honestly the softest, most comfortable we’ve ever slept in. I don’t think I’d ever get out of bed if I had them at home. Inside the caboose it’s sensual and eclectic. The decor is warm and homey. It’s cozy and romantic.
The Airbnb is remote but not really. It’s close to Malibu, close to a few delightful restaurants and wineries within walking distance and surrounded by many hiking trails.
We loved it but it is important to read the description and reviews like I did so you know exactly what you’re booking. It’s in a rustic area, not the city so there are critters outside from ratatouille to peacocks. There can be quite a few people on the property. The caboose isn’t really far enough away from other buildings on the property to be super private if you’re outside. There’s a nice wall blocking the deck but it is still fairly exposed. The toilet has no door, which could be an issue for some people. The shower is a bit fiddly. My only personal issue is one I have with every Airbnb and not the fault of the host. The cleaning and service fees are ridiculous, they quite literally almost double the price.
If those things don’t bother you, then this is a perfect date or weekend stay. We’ll definitely be back.
