Jubilee Railroad Wilderness Lodge

The staff is amazing. ||We had an issue with our reservation, my fault. The staff went way out of their way to find a way to accommodate us. Their first try, wildly out of the box thinking, did not work out. They then became even more creative and sorted it out. An amazing effort. ||Besides that the campground is great, the restaurant is better than great, and the Dunsmuir area is gorgeous. The McCloud River waterfalls hike is spectacular… four waterfalls on a four mile hike.

Restaurant review only: Made 2 visits (1 breakfast, 1 dinner) and both were fantastic! Very reasonable (not enormous) portions, delicious high-quality local food, and very friendly to kids. Walking the grounds after the meal was truly fantastic. Awesome! We'll definitely return in the future.

We just got back from an unforgettable stay at Jubilee Railroad Wilderness Lodge and are already dreaming about our next visit. This place is a hidden gem with a seriously cool twist, refreshed vintage cabooses that make for a one-of-a-kind getaway. We stayed in Caboose 25, which had a super comfy king bed, a surprisingly spacious bathroom, great AC (a must!), and the cutest little upstairs cupola where we sipped our morning coffee while taking in the peaceful surroundings. The whole property is beautifully spaced out, giving you plenty of room to breathe and enjoy the wilderness without feeling crowded. And let’s talk about the dining car…wow! We wandered over thinking we’d grab a quick drink and were totally blown away. What we found was a warm, beautifully designed lounge and restaurant with a vibe that made us want to linger. Despite rolling in at 8:40 pm (they close at 9), the staff welcomed us in like old friends and assured us there was plenty of time. The cocktails were top-tier, the apple cobbler was divine, and every single staff member we encountered, from check-in to check-out, was friendly, professional, and genuinely kind. While we didn’t get a chance to use the pool or hot tub, knowing they were there just added to the resort-like feel. Jubilee Railroad is such a unique and magical place, we’d come back in a heartbeat and are already recommending it to everyone we know!

We had the most wonderful stay at the campground! The sites are spacious and nestled in the woods near a stream. We had two delicious meals at the dining car and craft cocktails as well. Everyone from the camp host to the servers to the gift shop person were warm, friendly, and helpful. We will definitely be back!

Awesome place. We stayed in a caboose room with our 18yr old son. We stayed here 11yrs ago and surprised him with this visit. We stayed on a Tuesday night so we missed dinner at the restaurant( yaks was delicious)as they were closed, but the next morning we were there for breakfast.

We stayed in #12, had a king bed, which was the best part of the whole thing. This particular car is sitting in the direct sun all day long with no shade on it until at least late afternoon so it's hot unless you run the AC all the time, which we did. | The bathroom is the biggest joke. Nicely decorated but hardly practical. The claw foot tub was all chipped in the bottom like it was shot with a slingshot and steel marbles, chunks out of it and it looked disgusting as did the water control faucet. It was some kind of old 'goldish colored plating that was oxidized and just looked dirty AND there was no shower or way to rinse off with the hand set unless you didn't mind spraying water all over the bathroom floor and walls! No shower curtain installed and have you ever tried to use one of those handheld shower heads one handed and shampoo your hair at the same time one handed? or shave one handed? you get the idea. | The toilet looks like it belongs in a small RV trailer, you'd think they would opt for a full size residential toilet since they had plenty of space to put it in there! | The fridge was nice and cold and kept our freezer packs icy for the days activities away from the resort. It's a decent size and was in reasonably ok condition.| The train car was far from level and the bathroom door would swing open if you didn't firmly latch it. I'd say the end of the train car is at least 4-6 inches lower than the other end! For the price they charge we could have a really nice room in Reno or Tahoe for a lot less for more days. | The pool was nicely cleaned and well kept, cool but no freezing.| The dining car was open and the girls were trying to get used to the system there, and it seemed they were trying hard but struggling a bit. The dinner and breakfast menu was a little too out there for me, like they're trying to make this place a yuppy heaven with all kinds of exotic dishes and foods and the only breakfast I even thought about ordering was the first on the list. (Maybe try to keep it original for the area, like biscuits & gravy maybe, scrambled eggs, omelettes?) | Had a Farmers draft light beer with my wife and she had a small raspberry drink said to be about 10.8%, and that's all, the tab was $20 plus $2 tip I left because I felt sorry for the help. Should've been a $10 drink tab in my opinion. They didn't have a single bottled beer in stock and no domestic beers at all except those craft and designer drinks / beers. If you like that kind of drink then this might be great for you. I just wanted a cold Budweiser in the bottle. Doubt we'll stay again, and we didn't even waste our money on a dinner or breakfast either, we ate elsewhere.

I booked a railroad car room for me and my friend, both over 65, but they do not offer senior discounts. It’s pricey $210 for a Monday night stay. It doesn’t appear that any of the money is going to upkeep. There are lots of cracks in the concrete around the pool and the rooms are looking a bit run down, all things I can honestly over look for the most part, but my room had just been sprayed with bug spray and there were still Ants in the room, I had to sleep with the window open and almost froze. No extra blankets. Two small towels in the room and you have to take that to the pool. It also needs to have a small store and sell drinks, snacks and they definitely need to have coffee and donuts or something. The coffee in the room is a joke. The entire town of Dunsmuir is like a ghost town, we got lucky and found Yaks a restaurant, and I can’t say enough good things about that place, definitely worth checking out the car dinning room was closed. we drove to Shasta for a cup of coffee. And lastly it was run by high school kids, so you get a lot of I don’t know and I’m not allowed to. I hope this helps you decide and them to improve. The area was beautiful, but I’d stay in Shasta, unless your looking for one step up from sleeping outside.

I loved staying at the Railroad Park Resort! It was fun to walk around the well-maintained property looking at the different railroad cars. The staff we interacted with were all friendly and helpful. We stayed in one of the cabooses, and it was very clean and comfortable. There was a lot of work being done on the property to get it ready for the upcoming season, including improvements to the dining car. I'd like to stay at the Railroad Park Resort again and have a chance to eat in the dining car!

We wanted a nice stop 1/2 way between Bend and Sacramento and the Railroad Park did not disappoint! The honeymoon car was roomy and full of interesting touches. The hot tub was clean and hot. But best of all was a great dinner in their authentic railroad car restaurant. Excellent bar and table service. Excellent food. The sax and rhythm jazz duo was perfect. Loved the bossa nova & posh classics from the 50s. To top it off there was a Halloween haunted car (it was 10/29) it was lots of fun. The Adam's Family Movie was playing on a big screen in the courtyard among the gas heaters. Five Stars. A real gem of a place. 10 miles south of Mt Shasta. Gorgeous trails and waterfalls nearby.

*** RESTAURANT REVIEW ONLY *** I really wanted to like this place... but I was so disappointed. and so many negative aspects to our experience, I'm really stretching with giving this place a 2 star. It honestly should be a 1 star review but they comped 2 of our 5 alcoholic drinks (lol) and gave us 2 free basket of fries. I also liked the ambiance and eating since a train. But that's about it. - THE WAIT We had reservations at 5pm. We were sat right away but our service was slow. We looked at the menu before we got to the restaurant so everyone knew what they wanted. We ordered our food, drinks and appetizers around 5:15pm but didn't get our food until 6:25pm. Everyone at the table ordered the burger except one of the kids who ordered the mac n cheese. Really NO excuse to have to wait over an hour to cook 5 burgers and fries. She came out about 45 minutes after we ordered and acknowledged the wait, and did 10 more minutes. But over 30 minutes passed since then before the food came out. - THE FOOD Again, we all orders the burger. The burgers were all inconsistently cooked. We weren't asked how we wanted them cooked. But we all compared our burgers. So were WELL done. Some were medium rare. Just inconsistent across the board. The buns were also kind of hard. Nothing was done on preparing them. They weren't toasted or warmed up. Just room temp buns, which were a little hard. My brother even "thumped" the top bun with his finger to make a point it was hard. The bun made a loud, hallow thump sound and it remained the exact same. Didn't even make a dent in the bun. At least warm the bun! The fries were also bad. We all ordered different fries (sweet potato, garlic parm, regular, and cajun. They all came out cold. We told the waitress and she brought us 2 new baskets of fries which were all hot and crispy and actually good tasting. Why couldn't they have been that wet the first time ? The mac n cheese was also not very good. Just tasted like noodles. We ordered it for the kids, off the kids menu, so we were hoping it was a little cheesy, but it was pretty tasteless. - THE GRATUITY 18% gratuity automatically added because we had more than 8 in our party. Makes this place seem like a scam because our experience was terrible yet we were still forced to tip 18% like we loved our service and our meal. It's a total shame. No one needed to work hard tonight because that tip was already included... and it showed for sure. Overall a really bad experience. Glad they gave us 2 out of the 5 drinks for free. Not sure why two but it was a nice gesture. We planned on going here for breakfast but we will definitely skip that and go somewhere else :(

Came for happy hour and the experience of eating and drinking in a train because c'mon now who wouldn't want to. Our bar tender/ waitress Ray was awesome. She gave good suggestions on which wings to get. The blackberry jalapeño BBQ wings were freaking delicious, it was such a good sauce combo. And these weren't some puny tiny wings these were some massive ones, so yes we were definitely pleased. I loved the margarita. Our bartender made it perfectly. It was a pretty cool dining experience in the train car. Dimly lit and vintage train decor. Nice touch for October with kind of a haunting vibe. Would 10/10 recommend.

Railroad Inn RV Park, Dunsmuir, CA- October 7, 2024 We arrived at the RV PARK at the 1 pm checkin time on a Monday afternoon. This is a great stop about 4 hours north of Sacramento if you're driving about 60 mph. Our campground host greeted us the moment we arrived and took us to our site. The campground has beautiful mature 60 foot tall pine trees that provide ample shade on a hot Summer's day. They have full hookups with picnic tables and fire pits. The sites are relatively spacious. We were only doing a 1 night stop over on this trip, so we didn't check out the diner, which from previous experience has great food and drinks, and on most nights has live musical entertainment.

This is such a cute place !! You get to have dinner or in our case lunch on a train car. Me and my hubby went here on a lunch date the other day and I really liked it here. Their fries are delicious and the salad. I liked that it wasn't iceberg lettuce salad.

The ambiance is very quaint and intimate. The live Music and service was great. There was a lot to look at and talk about while walking the restaurant/train. The grounds were well kept and very family friendly. We enjoy exploring the steam train as adults I could imagine what our 6yo would have thought! The gift shop was fun to stop in as well. We took our server's recommendations for our food choice she said the cheeseburger is top seller and the mushroom raviolis were good. Both were good nothing crazy over the top but they were good! We enjoy our time here and look forward to coming back the next time we are in town.

Took my family to this restaurant. This was one of those gems that you need to try out. Parking is way easy. The venue could easily be used as a backdrop for a wedding. Yep The grounds are nice and very curated to be woodsy and railroad related. Exactly what you would envision. But...when you step into the dining car it is wide and long. Multiple cars were used to create this dining space. Full length bar and music. For this area...the music is rare and a treat. It was last wed night. I hope the management replies to this with who he was!?! He played the farmers market and invited us. That's how we ended up there. He played guitar and sang. Really cool man. The server: OK, as we know servers make or break any sit down dining at any price point. We had Kim. Fabulous, fantastic and any other words related to her! Request her area, you will be cared for to the nth degree. Our drinks stayed full, my family was not easy either. We were not the best group and we were tired. She took all of that and made it better. By the time the meals came she had all of us happy and well cared for. It's unreal how kind she is. The restaurant is great, the ribeye was killer...but Kim is why we will go back. We were there June 12 for dinner. Bathrooms are close and easy to find. The place is really clean. Get off your butts and try for her section. We live in socal and it's hard to find people like her...period. The management did well by hiring her.

I have been at this railroad resort many times. Period. I have always had excellent service very clean pet friendly. The restaurant is five star and I can't wait until it opens in the spring. highly recommend.

This review is for the restaurant only. We found ourselves in Dunsmuir for the night and found this spot recommended online. First, it is quite charming. A very cute converted train car with bar and a nice view. We arrived about 30 minutes prior to happy hour ending so we ordered a couple margaritas - which were fine. When we were seated we asked to see a dinner menu, then after our drinks came after waiting some time we again asked for the dinner menu, which in itself is totally fine, no big deal. But overall the service was slow and the place itself wasn't busy. We wanted to squeeze in another happy hour drink order but our server didn't come back for some time - she did even though we got our drinks in late still give us happy hour pricing. We ordered the tranwreck fries and Brussel sprouts. The fries were as expected but the Brussel sprouts were so sweat. We also decided to end the evening with an espresso martini - which is on their menu as well as a chocolate martini - but it should not be. It was not an espresso martini and should never have been served. We'd go again, but stick to the basics and expect slower service.

Super fun location! Pickings are slim in this quiet little town unless you want to drive elsewhere. We came up for my birthday weekend and spent time mostly in Dunsmuir, and conveniently enough this spot was like 1/2 mile from our spot where we stayed. It sounded fun so I wanted to try it. It was a cute spot, festive theme with the trains since Dunsmuir was a huge railroad town back in the day. Nice to see that history showcased. Our food was good overall, not mind blowing but also no complaints. I ordered the chicken marsala, my guy actually got the dirty fries as his meal since it had all the things he wants and the order was HUGE! Our friends got the ribeye and the salmon. I was a little surprised the salmon wasn't served with the delicious homemade sauce cooked ON the salmon but served in a heap on the side, made for weird presentation. My chicken was delicious, the sauce was the star of the table. The waitress brought an extra side since she knew it was amazing and the whole table got down on that goodness! Overall, it's a fun spot. Glad we checked it out and shared the experience for a special meal with friends.

Amazing food. Awesome ambience, a little understaffed, but worth the wait. We ate here for lunch and even came back for dinner. Really cool area to walk around after dinner. My kid enjoyed the playground.

We had the same server twice in a row. First visit she brought me warm Chardonnay. She brought our check both times without asking if we wanted coffee or dessert. It sounds minor but we felt rushed. My husband liked his prime rib but it was slightly over medium rare as ordered. For 45 dollars it should have been right. I ordered the cajon prawns. These were small shrimp. Not prawns. It was fair. It was nice to see new things on the menu but you need to do it right. First visit I had chicken piccata. Server said it was lightly breaded. It was a deep fried chunk of heavy chicken like a frozen chicken steak. It was not good.

Very comfortable and clean room, bed, bathroom and kitchenette. Friendly service and beautiful surroundings.

Atmosphere and ambience are great. Set among the trees just south of Dunsmuir. Wait staff was good and attentive. My complaint is with the chicken Marsala which is on the menu. It consisted of two deep fried chicken beasts breaded with cornmeal. It tasted of coconut so maybe it was fried in coconut oil. They poured a gravy over it with strong tarragon flavor which didn't help because the chicken was dry and tough. Mushrooms were sparse in this dish. Generous serving of vegetables. The other folks we went with had specials which looked good.

Love love love this place! Service has always been wonderful in Shasta & this place was no different! The ambiance is probably the coolest restaurant in Shasta because it's inside a literally inside a train. Indoor & outdoor seating both look magical. It's overlooking castle crags state park. The food was yummy. It was probably the best cesar salad I've ever had in my life!

Not the waitress fault! Cook is definitely not on there best! Filet overcooked/ Prime Rib seriously Undercooked! Serious Disappointment! Especially at $45. A pop!

Distinctive experience, with room for improvement. Checking in and out was a pleasant experience, with a friendly staff that was pleasant about answering all my questions. The yellow caboose my family and I stayed in was cute, nestled in amongst some pine trees near the entrance to the resort. The room was clean, so I have no complaint with that, but the room and the resort need maintenance. The bathtub's enameled surface was peeling away, the sink was cracked and stained, the air conditioner vibrated so bad we couldn't run it when we wanted to sleep, vinyl flooring was curling up around the edges of the bathroom, windows were dirty, and the list goes on. One railroad car next to the dining cars was smashed to pieces in a pile. Landscaping also looked like a low priority, with most of the other railroad cars in a group out in the open - no trees, no flowers, minimal bits of grass, and mainly just rocks or dirt all around. Still, the bed was comfortable, and the housekeeping staff was obviously doing their best with what is there.

Great food! Great service! Great campgrounds, and campground host! Live music with dinner was fantastic

Coming here I expected it to just be a novelty but the food was just what we needed. We came during a heat wave and this place was perfect for shielding us from it. The interior has an upscale, vintage railroad car vibe. Service was really friendly. Ordered a cheeseburger and it was fantastic. The side of sweet potatoes fries were perfectly crisp and piping hot. Tried my wife's cajun fries which were equally delicious.

HEAVEN!!!! It was touch and go as to if we would make it the 50 miles north from Redding with the first real storm of the season coming over the Shasta Cascades, but we persevered and made it!!! Our room was the AT&SF caboose #28, a roomy king with full bath, warmed and ready for our arrival. So cozy, comfy and BEYOND charming! What a beautiful wonderland this park is, ESPECIALLY with a fresh layer of powdery snow highlighting the trains. I've dreamt about Railroad Park Resort since booking it just a week ago. I stumbled on this gem while searching GOOGLE MAPS, viewing the region we were planning on visiting. It was only after seeing their website that I learned they also have a beautiful restaurant, composed of historic dining cars adjoined and refurbished. I saw Harris Ranch steaks highlighted on the menu and my heart swooned. The accommodations, the grounds, the staff (shout out to Leanne - a DOLL!), the FOOD, the DRINKS (have I mentioned Leanne??? FANTASTIC, born mixologist!), the snow, the mountains, puppy dog Chip "greeting" us in the office/gift shop, EV-ER-Y aspect of this magical place made my heart sing! I felt like a miniature figure living in a child's train set town - fantastic! I know this is technically "off season," but I think this MUST be the best time to stay here. THANK YOU to the visionary Murphys who created this incredible park back in 1968, and to Mark & Mary Lilley and Guy & Lonnie Martin who continue to maintain and build upon the original vision of Railroad Park! May you be blessed many times over for the joy you have brought your guests! Cheers! CC

So close to being a perfect stay, except our rail car (and the rail cars of our relatives also staying here) had zero ventilation or air flow. It was warm, but manageable, but also not good when we showered and the steam had nowhere to go. There were several windows that taunted us with views of the forest, but no way to enjoy the night sounds or cool air, as all the windows are permanently seeped shut to prevent fresh airflow. It seems like such an easy fix. Otherwise the grounds, the restaurant, the amenities, the gift shop was all lovely.

What a fun discovery. Was doing the I-5 north-south drive, got hungry, saw "food next exit." Easy on/off, but what a find. There's a railroad themed resort-park-campground with a nice classic dining car diner/full bar. Great PRIME RIB FRENCH DIP SAMMY WITH FANTASIC FRIES (had to be double fried). Wife got soup salad (great clam chowder & homemade ranch). This apparently gets crowded during summer, but if you get hungry around Dunsmuir CA, stop here. Everyone is super nice to everyone.

Love Love Love the look of the restaurant I mean what's better than eating in an authentic old train that looks as though it was preserved in time absolutely gorgeous inside and out !!! My husband and myself went to Sunday brunch the food was good not amazing but good the prices are reasonable and the Bloody Mary was delicious .The young man Jayden who served us was the cherry on top I must say He was professional,polite and knowledgeable about the menu he always made sure we didn't need for anything the entire time My husband who usually doesn't notice too much was pleased as well with the server usually younger people don't take pride now days it seems but Jayden certainly did It was extremely refreshing Make sure you don't let this young man go RailRoad Park !!!

Food 5-stars Service 6-stars Ambiance 7- stars Wait. The highest number of stars is 5. Oh well. This restaurant is a must-do in Dunsmuir. Period. Checkout the photos.

We stayed here on our way to Washington April 22. Such a fun experience. Rooms are super comfy. The dining car has such character. We had reserved a king size bedroom with our dog only to find out it wasn't a dog friendly room. We went for a queen with a single at a bit more $ which wasn't really a great surprise. Make sure you really clarify when making reservations. They offer a seasonal outdoor pool, and a hot tub. The pool was empty due to the time of the year. The hot tub was relaxing despite the jets not working. We would stay here again.

Our family took a trip to the Pacific Northwest and this was the first 'food' stop that we decided to make. I'm a big Yelper, we've found so many wonderful places both to eat at and to visit and this place was such a unique experience that we had to try it out! We were a party of 4 and were seated immediately once walking in. It was a bit packed, so we knew it had to be a good place. We ordered the Train Wreck Fries, Ribeye Steak, and Conductor's Burger with a meat patty and regular fries. Train Wreck Fries - delicious! Love that it had its own unique spin on it for such a unique dining experience. The only negative is we wished that the meat came in smaller pieces when served, but also understand why it was served in strips. Ribeye Steak - seasoned well, and cooked well. Ended up sending it back to be cooked more just for my own meat rarity preference. The mashed potatoes were good, could tell they didn't have a lot of salt/pepper while it was being made. The sauce that it came with, was amazing! Could have drank that sauce if they sold it! Conductor's Burger - Wonderful, meat patty was cooked perfectly and had the perfect amount of crispiness with it. The fries were delicious and fried perfectly with the perfect crunchiness. The experience of being here was wonderful, but wish we knew ahead of time about staying the night here and added that to the experience of already eating in the restaurant!

We just ordered breakfast and it was absolutely horrible. The biscuits and gravy was the worst I've ever tasted. The biscuits were hard the gravy. I don't know what kind of gravy that was. It definitely wasn't a breakfast gravy. The food was cold when we picked it up for takeout. The pancakes were barely bearable. The eggs were overcooked. I asked for over easy. We will never eat here again, even though we love staying in the resort. Actually after eating the breakfast myself and my husband are not feeling well Other then the restaurant we absolutely love staying at Railroad Park Resort

Overall, excellent! We stayed in the rv park. Rv park is really nice. In the trees. The resort side is also very nice. I didn't eat in the restaurant but had a few drinks and an appetizer at the bar. Great drinks and the food I saw being served look great. I do recommend this place

The food was wonderful was very tasty will The service and the server was wondeful. The portions were large and one was more than enough for 2 people. If I am ever in the neighborhood again, I would be sure to stop and eat. I would also consider staying there if they had an electric vehicle charger.

This review is for the DINING CAR RESTAURANT only. We stayed in the campground in an RV with hookups and it was beautiful with a lovely stream running alongside of it. Sites are close but under beautiful trees, so 4 Stars for that. However, THE DINING CAR restaurant only gets 2 stars. The concept is great...dinner in a vintage train car, jazz music being played in the bar...nice. But the price of the food was ridiculous! I would consider the menu to compare to a nice pub. However, salads were $20+, burgers were $20, pastas were $25, steaks $45, veggies and sides were extra and ranged from $5 - $10 but the kicker was bread (and I mean a small skinny little loaf) and butter cost $6, and when we asked for a refill on bread it was another $6!! We asked to be seated outside because we had our dog with us. The service was terrible and we waited 15 minutes before anyone came out to give us menus or greet us. The waitress even said no one told her that anyone had been seated outside. Dishes from earlier diners were still left on tables and not cleared. We both had salads ($20 and $22) and we did get a huge amount of lettuce. My chicken Cobb salad did have plenty of bacon and Avacado, so cudos for that. If you just want to come for drinks and appetizers (ranging from $13 for fancy fries - Brussels sprouts for $16) and some jazz music, this might be great choice, although cocktails start at $15.

Spent Labor day weekend at this awesome , one of a kind resort! Great food, and drinks, a pool, a doggo park, slept in a caboose and then a cabin and breathtaking hikes to waterfalls...local brew pub in town...Love love love it there. Big shout out to Kimberly, Kathleen, Irie and Erin ..you girls work hard and made our trip special..thanks..can't wait to come back

Such a unique and quaint place to have dinner! Live music and great service! The food was pretty good. The views on the property are very nice (Mt. Shasta ). I would be willing to give this place another go!

Tried this old school place a couple of times lately. First time the burger was raw and unsafe to eat. The second time it was overcooked and dry. Each time I ordered it medium. My third attempt was last week I showed up at 400 pm which was happy hour. Only had finger foods available so I tried the chili poppers. They were so overcooked that the waitress wanted to send them back! The place has a weird vibe it was like I didn't exist. One waitress taped me out so she could get her tip before she went off duty. After that they just ignored me even though I was one of the five people in the place. No thanks for me I know when to give up on a place!

Don't over look this place when traveling in Northern California. Besides the unique lodging in individual railroad cars that have been converted to motel rooms, the onsite restaurant and bar offers great food and live entertainment. The rail cars are fully equipped with comfy beds, bathrooms, TV, microwave, wi-fi, etc. This is a great place for a family vacation or just a one-nighter on your way. Dog friendly too.

Really cool spot. Next time I find myself near Shasta, I will definitely book a night here. As for the restaurant, we got there before they were serving dinner so we hung around and had a drink and appetizer off the happy hour menu. The rail car interior and bar is restored very well. I loved the classic old school bar interior. Our server was also great and attentive. Steaks were cooked just right and drinks were good.

This has been one of several visits to this quaint, unique stay in a caboose and dine in a rail car resort. The food is always amazingly delicious. The service is always relaxed. I usually get a steak, but opted for the special- beef wellington. It did not disappoint. To tip it all off, the homemade apple pie was warmed in the oven, not a microwave- so the crust was flaky, not chewy. Off the beaten path, in the middle of nowhere, is this sleepy but fun place to visit and stay the night.

Good food, good pool, good caboose. The most beautiful view of Mt. Shasta and the Crags. If you live in the Bay Area, drive 3 and a half hours to stay here.

Had filet and prawns. It came with mashed potatoes that were pretty dry, overcooked asparagus, undercooked cold carrots and perfectly cooked broccolini. Steak was ordered medium rare on rare side and came out medium to medium well. I should have sent it back but our waitress was MIA for most of the meal. Got a delicious crème brûlée Togo since staying in one of the cabins

Stayed here for a night on our way through the area - it was pretty hot and I was worried that the caboose would be too warm but the AC did the trick during the day. We enjoyed the pool, walking down to the creek and around the pond (there were lots of newts!), and playing corn hole and giant jenga. It cooled off in the evening and we just used the in-room fan overnight. We could hear the creek with the window open and it was so nice! Enjoyed breakfast in the dining car before heading out the next morning. Would definitely stay here again!

I took my 10 year old on a Mother/Son vacation. Railroad Park Resort was our first stop. I can't say enough great things. First of all sleeping in a train car was so fun. My son was in heaven. When we left home the weather was calling for 3-5 inches of snow. We ended up getting 12-15 inches and couldn't make it to our next destination. The staff was all amazing. They Happily made sure we were taken care of. They made us feel so welcome and comfortable. The dining car is a wonderful bonus. Good food, live music, full bar and a cozy wood burn stove. 100 out of 10 we will been back again and again.

Great service in a very unique & cozy ambience. Views are amazing too. Food was very good, had a French dip steak sandwich & it's delicious.

The best place to stay or get a meal or a drink, or all of the above. All the rooms are railroad cabooses, they've been remodeled inside and have a very cozy and comfortable feeling. The food in the dining car is amazing, well worth the price. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. Been here 5-6 times, won't be the last.

The caboose was an amazing experience. It's rustic and comfortable. Clean. Staff super friendly. Would have given 5 stars but there was a leak in bathroom around toilet that left a huge puddle of water. Also all the outlets were super loose and hard to charge anything. Other than that it was comfortable! The pillows were perfect!!! Not hard/flat like normal hotel pillows. Blankets were warm and comfy. Scenery was serene and beautiful!!! Unfortunately it rained every day we were here but still made the best of it.

Wifi was entirely unreliable. When we checked in during the afternoon we couldn't connect to either the guest or campground network with any of five devices (both phones and computers, both apple and windows) from either inside or outside. We were told this was because "too many people are connecting at one time" and to just keep trying. The person working at the gift shop said that it's commonly the case that it takes him half a shift or more to get connected to the wifi. We first connected the following morning but for me it rarely stayed connected for longer than thirty seconds at a time, kept dropping, not enough to do a simple search for nearby restaurants or trail maps. No cell service, as noted in other answers. It's absolutely no problem to have a wifi-free getaway...if that's what you're prepared for. If the lodging promises wifi then in this day and age, it really shouldn't provide an experience like this, and the explanation given by the employee just means that this is a known issue that the owners have been too cheap to address and too greedy to be honest about in their description. It's a shame; the space was charming and the views were beautiful, but the failure of a promised basic amenity with no workaround and no shame ruined the trip for us and would make me very hesitant about the willingness or ability of the owners or management to proactively deal with any other problems that might arise during a stay. [Response to owner response] The owner says that a planned upgrade backfired and that they are working diligently to solve the problem. It's great that they are working to solve the problem! However, if there is a problem, they should definitely warn their guests! As an example, while we were there, the restaurant was closed for breakfast and lunch for upgrades. They let us know about this in advance communication and we were able to plan around it and it wasn't a big deal. If they had told us, even a day or two in advance, that the wifi was not working, then there would have been absolutely no issue. We would have done more research on restaurants and day trips in the area ahead of time, and would have brought more things to do in the evening after dark that didn't require internet access. They also say "we have had a few issues with our WiFi the last few weeks but certainly not as bad as this reviewer suggests." and "90% of our system is working well." This is exactly the attitude I am referring to in my review, where they are unwilling to admit to the extent of the problem and take responsibility for it or for making it right. From my point of view, this kind of "circle-the-wagons" response to a guest having a bad experience is not the attitude I want my hotelier to have, it's just too risky. Your mileage may vary. Finally, the owner says "They themselves said it wasn't too important to their overall excellent visit." Not so. I said that "the space was charming and the views were beautiful" but that doesn't mean the visit was excellent. It was not. The stay was frustrating and disappointing, and it was hard to enjoy the charming space or the beautiful views while we were there.

This place is awesome. I came for a family reunion with no expectations and was blown away. The caboose rooms are great, very homey feel with beautiful views and easy access to the surrounding area. The restaurant has a very large menu and takes the pressure off food options in a camping-style getaway. Thanks!!

The food here was wonderful- probably the best meals we had on our RV adventure trip to Medford OR from Cameron Park CA. Out server Traci made our dinner special; she went out of her way on a busy night to make our meal perfect !!

An idyllic little slice of nostalgia. We plan to visit time and again to this heavenly little enclave while traveling to and from visiting family. Our train car was adorable and unique. Unfortunately the restaurant was closed during our visit and we hope to experience the dining car restaurant on a future visit. The grounds are picturesque and well maintained. The staff is friendly and attentive. I would give them 5 stars if not for their non refundable booking policy. They take 20% of your reservation no matter the amount of notice given to cancel. There are exceptions made for catastrophes, but I feel with reasonable notice no one should be penalized and to that end I think they need to do better. Going forward we will take our chances booking last minute due to their non refundable policy. Life is what happens when we're making plans.

Went there for birthday dinner with my sister. Our server was friendly and accommodating even though we were late for reservation. We looked around property and took in the gorgeous view of Castle Crags while our food was being prepared. Kids and adults all had a great time and enjoyed our food. I recommend the brussels' sprouts. Not sure how they cook them, but they were delicious. Their house burger was also very good. Will definitely return.

We just visited the Railroad Park Resort in Dunsmuir, CA for our second time. Our first visit was in 2017 and we loved it, but had to unexpectedly shorten our visit. This time we made sure to spend extra time and so glad we did! First off, the improvements all around the park were impressive, especially considering they "survived" Covid and were also able to grow the park. Cool "Castle Crags" water feature with train, children's playground and little train rides around the park. Those were new, but they also have the large real engine to climb on and the cabooses to sleep in. So cool. There is also a nice gift shop and a dining car with restaurant and bar. They even had "live" music in the bar/restaurant when we were there. We ordered the Chicken Marsala for dinner, which was delicious and crème brûlée for dessert that hubby said was the best he ever had! I had to agree. The whole meal experience was made even better by our excellent server, Athena! She was so friendly and perfectly attentive, checking in on us just the perfect amount of times. We also enjoyed a yummy breakfast in the morning. Love their coffee, specially made locally in Shasta for the RR Park. This place is a great family destination. Grassy area with corn hole and other outdoor games, fire table for roasting marshmallows, swimming pool and hot tub and a small children's play area is just a short walk away. We stayed in a Santa Fe caboose #28. Loved it!! Cute Caboose. Can't wait to go back again!
