The Red Caboose Motel at Paradise Station

Extremely Unique and Excellent Staff, the folks working here went above and beyond. They came and shoveled the snow in the morning around the car for us. Check in was friendly and they made you feel welcome and glad that you were visiting. They had the best attitude and were super kind. We ate dinner and breakfast at the restaurant there, the food was good and the wait staff was busy and provided exceptional service as well. Prices were average and I would recommend eating there. Thank you all for a great experience.

My family and I stayed here from Thanksgiving day through the weekend and we really liked it. We were four adults and one child (8). My daughter loved the bunk beds and the unique sleep in a train car experience. The property is adorable and we also loved feeding the animals. We ate at Casey Jones twice and having the restaurant right here was a nice option. We loved being able to catch the Strasburg Railroad go by several times a day too, and over the weekend we also took a holiday train ride on this railroad. My only suggestions would be to add more hooks to hang towels and clothing. There are no closets or drawers, and very few hooks available to hang up coats, jackets, towels, etc.

Positive: The caboose we stayed in was larger than expected. It was really nice. We are definitely going back. Negative: No there was not. Staff were great!

This was a last minute trip for an overnight during the winter and our stay was wonderful! The rooms are so comfy and welcoming, the staff is so friendly and there are so many things to do close by! The restaurant had great food and the gift-shop was adorable. The toy train museum was within walking distance and they have buggy rides that go out from the parking lot. Truly a great experience, we can’t wait to come back when the weather breaks! Highly recommended!

Our most recent stay at Red Caboose was 12/27 - 12/29/25. We have stayed twice previously with kids. This time was just adults. It's a fun and cozy place to stay. It's clean and well kept. The train cars are small inside of course, but comfortable. The floors are quite cold in the winter, so bring your slippers and definitely put towels down outside the bath or shower for when you step out. Water pressure in the shower and sink was very good. The kids loved the bunks! The staff are friendly and helpful. The restaurant was great too. Good service and good food! We've come to think of it as "our place" now whenever we stay over in Lancaster.
