Railroad Caboose

I'm offering a completely remodeled Railroad caboose located at 227 Lake June Dr. Lake Placid Fl. 33852. right next to the railroad tracks in the cutest little town you never heard of, Lake Placid Florida. The train passes by 5 days a week. The caboose has an addition on the back deck with a full bath and stacking washer dryer. There is a full kitchen and a barbecue grill. 2 TVs, high-speed internet and cable. There is a short queen Murphy bed and a mini split air condition / heater. You can go to YouTube and type in... "Simpsonville Station Caboose," for a short video tour.

Lake Placid is a quaint little town located about 120 miles south of Tampa in the center of the state on highway 27. The next closest town would be Sebring. It is 15 mi north of Lake Placid and best known for the 12-hour races at Sebring.
Lake Placid has 29 named lakes, so fishing and water sports are enjoyed by many who come to visit.

Lake Placid is also known as "The Caladium Capital of the World" You will see Caladiums growing in many of the flower beds around town, and the bulbs can be purchased from local vendors.

Another enjoyable feature of this cute little town are the 49 murals painted on sides of buildings. They are magnificent, and most are within walking distance. You can pick up a mural magazine at the chamber of commerce building where they also show a 10 minute video of some history of the town and murals.

Another great place to visit would be the old Lake Placid Atlantic Coastline Depot. The Historical Societies Railroad Museum is a great learning experience for all who visit.

There are parks, restaurants, and golf courses, something for everyone. So come spend a couple nights in the Railroad Caboose at the Simpsonville Station. Explore the lovely town of Lake Placid and take with you a lifetime of memories.

Please note, I take great pride in providing a pristine space for you to enjoy your vacation. To do so, I charge a minimal host fee for cleaning services, if anything is not to your satisfaction, be sure to let me know and I will personally ensure it is corrected.

Thank you for looking, Jerry

What an amazing idea and execution of such a great place to stay. I felt like a kid all over again when I arrived at the property and once I walked inside I was completely blown away. Jerry has done something special that he should be very proud of. His communication and dedication to his guests was second to none. Thank you for the opportunity, I most certainly will return!

Host was excellent in all respects. Property is clean and manicured. Inside was clean and decorated to theme. Has a nice little gift store on the property. As a treat a train chugged by twice on the tracks behind the Simpsonville Station caboose.

My wife and I were on our honeymoon and we had to evacuate Cape Coral due to hurricane Milton. The caboose was an incredible escape from the storm! Jerry the property owner was very gracious and accommodating given the circumstances. If we’re ever in need of a place in Lake Placid, we’ll consider the caboose! Thanks again Jerry!

One of a kind, unique property. Restored caboose by master craftsman. Really nice relaxing 2 day stay. Although we didn’t use it, it’s always a plus to have a washer and dryer on site. We give this stay an A+
