Ocean view

Guests say the views are lovely.
Rocky is a historic 1922 caboose at Fort Hunter Park. Imagine you are on the Orient Express! Next to the world's longest stone arch railroad bridge. On the riverbank for fishing or kayaking or incredible sunsets. We have bikes and kayaks. Not to be missed.

SOCIALLY DISTANCED. SELF CHECK IN. SEPARATE ACCESS. HOSTS WANT YOU TO BE SAFE FROM WORRY IN THESE TRYING TIMES.

The space
Rocky is a restored and enhanced 1922 wooden caboose. Amazing views of the river on the riverside deck, kayaking and fishing on the river, walks along the old Pennsylvania canal in the park beside Rocky. Your own private rail car on the Orient Express bound for a wonderful memory...

Guest access
The caboose and the amenities of the riverhouse are available to all guests.

Other things to note
The bed is in a lofted space that requires you to climb into it. It’s super cozy. For those who are not able or comfortable to get into a lofted bed, we have a full sized futon as an alternative sleeping option.
