There’s not much to the tiny town of Elbe. Located near the entrance of Mt. Rainier National Park, it’s a small pit stop with a population of 29 (really). But if you’re looking for a truly unique place to stay, look no further than The Hobo Inn, a glorified hotel on wheels. It’s the perfect place to stay for train lovers and adventurers.

The Hobo Inn is situated along Mountain Highway East in Elbe.

TLinATL / TripAdvisor It’s definitely easy to spot from the road.

These cars once played a huge role in the local railroad industry. Now, they’re a hotel on wheels.

TLinATL / TripAdvisor The cabooses came from all over the world, both by rail and by truck.

The Hobo Inn is actually one of largest collection of cabooses in North America.

richeaton / TripAdvisor And staying here is not only a one-of-a-kind experience, it’s extremely pleasant.

The cabooses all come with large beds, full bathrooms, and all the comforts of home.

TLinATL / TripAdvisor Some of them even have jetted tubs.

Despite being fully converted into a hotel on wheels, these cars still look every part the caboose.

Rosi K / TripAdvisor Needless to say, if you have little ones who love trains (or if you’re a fan yourself), this is the perfect place to stay.

And while the cars don’t come equipped with kitchens, you’ll have plenty of dining options nearby.

TLinATL / TripAdvisor The Mt. Rainier Railroad Dining Company is onsite, and there’s a delicious pizza car next door.

Rates for The Hobo Inn start at $149.99 nightly.
