Located just next to the Black River, the Caboose Inn is operated by South Haven’s Old Harbor Inn. While Old Harbor offers a variety of accommodation types, its caboose suites are by far the most unique.
The Caboose Inn
The inn is comprised of two refurbished cabooses from the 1920s, both of which sit on an actual stretch of railroad tracks (which are not in use, of course!).
