Sleep in a handbuilt caboose with a cupola bed
Lucy the Caboose Cabin / Roundhouse Workshop
Host Chi offers a tiny cabin built in 2019 to resemble an 1880s caboose. The queen bed occupies its raised cupola, reached from the compact living area by an alternating-tread ladder. This is purpose-built reproduction architecture, not a historic railcar or train journey.
Current location note / listed area: Hopkinton, New Hampshire; stationary two-person lodging
Host-authored Airbnb listing; confirm dates, exact location, rules and suitability directly. The steep, narrow route to the only bed and temperature variation in the cupola matter for access and comfort. Lodging only: no party, ceremony, transport or mobile-rental permission is established. Roundhouse Workshop’s current site treats its railcar-building venture as historical; older wedding-rental publicity is not a current offer.
