When I saw it, I knew we had to stay there. I had been looking for a place near the redwoods but not too far of a drive from our house as I have an impatient toddler. I wanted something cabin-y and my kid is obsessed with trains so this seemed like a perfect blend.
The caboose is only 20 mins from Cupertino, so it’s really easy to grab some last minute supplies. The caboose has a pretty great set up. There’s a kitchen with a microwave, mini fridge, stove, oven. It’s really amazing what they did with so little space. It never felt cramped either. There was a folding table, a day bed with a trundle bed underneath. And a super cozy loft bed accessed by a ladder.
Sam came by right when we arrived to show us around. The owner of the land made a large fire in the yard for us, and even gave my son some marshmallows so we could roast them. They all went out of their way just to acquire a kettle for us. Such nice people.
Castle Rock state park is a 10-15min ride away and we spent most of the days hiking there and Summit Rock.
I totally recommend this place, great for kids too.
