Caboose-Whiplash

Bring up the rear in style with 'Whiplash' 

Our charming caboose-inspired tiny home.  Named for the swift and sometimes jerky movements of the historic Cumbres & Toltec train, Whiplash offers anything but a bumpy ride. This delightful retreat combines the quaint appeal of a traditional caboose with contemporary comfort. From its elevated cupola, enjoy sweeping views of the landscape, just as the brakemen and conductors did while keeping watch over their trains on this legendary narrow-gauge railroad.
