Authentic Train Caboose! 5 minutes to Desoto Falls, Park, Mentone, LR Canyon | Cabin in Valley Head
2 Bedroom Cabin in Valley Head
All Aboard Claudia’s Caboose!
Experience a unique blend of railway history and modern luxury. Originally a 1970s Southern train Caboose, Claudia’s Caboose has been lovingly transformed into a cozy retreat in the Valleyhead /Mentone area, nestled between active tracks and scenic Highway 117. Only 3 miles to Mentone, Desoto Falls and Desoto State Park.
The Space
Exuding mid-century charm and contemporary indulgences, our renovation preserves the caboose's vintage character while offering all the comforts of home:
Living & Dining: Efficient kitchen with a microwave, air fryer/toaster oven, dishwasher, fridge, and coffee bar. Relax in the living area with a full pull-out sofa and flat-screen TV.
Sleeping: A private "master" bedroom featuring a luxurious queen mattress and a second TV.
Bath: A clever, modern, industrial style bathroom. Toilet, sink and shower.
Outdoors: Enjoy an expansive deck with a charcoal grill, a fire pit under the stars, and a private trail leading to a dedicated train-viewing area.
The Experience
Perfect for train enthusiasts, adults and kids at heart. While not a main line, you’ll occasionally hear the nostalgic rumble and whistle of passing trains. We are perfectly located for exploring DeSoto Falls, Little River Canyon, and the artsy town of Mentone.
