(Colorado) Colorado has many unique places to stay, including a historic train caboose in the small mountain town of Cascade.

The red train car is tucked into the trees not far from the road.

According to the listing, the caboose was decommissioned in the 1950s and purchased from the Illinois Central Railroad.

Today, the historic relic is a charming retreat at the foot of Pikes Peak. The pet-friendly caboose is the perfect size for two with one bedroom, one bathroom, and a fantastic claw foot tub.

There is a hot tub on the deck so guests can enjoy a warm soak in the great outdoors.

The "Rustic Railway Retreat" is within walking distance of the Wines of Colorado, the Pickle Shack, and several nearby hiking trails. The lodging also provides easy access to the Pikes Peak Highway and the North Pole: Home of Santa's Workshop.

If you are looking for a mountain getaway in a unique location with several nearby attractions, climb aboard the "Rustic Railway Retreat."
