Had a night to myself last night so I looked on AirBNB for last-minute getaways and found a steampunk caboose! Couldn’t pass that up, so I booked it and drove up there straight away.
From the outside, it looks just as advertised, a decommissioned Burlington Northern caboose.
Inside, it’s a very cozy and well-outfitted cabin – with a fun steampunk twist!
Who doesn’t need a comfort stove?
The observation chairs in the cupola remained and were surprisingly comfortable. I did some late work-related technical reading last night sitting in that chair, watching nearby traffic when I needed a break from the reading.
I ventured into town (Sequim) for dinner and found Christmas lights still up:
So, where is this, you ask? It’s all part of the Olympic Railway Inn, just outside of Sequim. You can book it yourself through AirBNB, as I did, or find it on several other booking sites.
There are several other train cars similarly outfitted as cabins here, as you can see in a few of these last photos of grounds.
You can see more of my travel stories without having to check back randomly to see if I’ve posted something new.
Thank you for following along!
