Booked this place as our home base for a Herkimer Diamond mining adventure and time together. This space was amazing and allowed us flexibility to be together and a variety of sleeping options to provide privacy and time away. The caboose was lovely and beautiful inside and out, the ticket cabin was well appointed and comfortable.
