About this space

Moose Caboose Station

The "Moose Caboose" is a fully renovated 54’ Pullman Rail Car complete with a full kitchen, full bath, and private bedroom with a large picture window, as well as a separate lower-level unit that can be rented together or separately.

The lower level of the Moose Caboose boasts additional living space with a bedroom, a queen sleeper, full kitchen, dinette, full bath with washer/dryer, living room, satellite TV, and deck with furniture and BBQ grill. Perfect for couples desiring their own privacy and enjoying the panorama views.

Each level of the Moose Caboose has one bathroom, a queen bed, and a queen sleeper sofa. The interiors feature cozy Alaska décor and limited edition Alaska Railroad prints. The cabinets are well stocked with dishes, pots and pans, and cooking utensils. In other words, all the comforts and home!

The "Moose Caboose" was built by the Pullman Company in Chicago in 1944 as a rail car in which to house and move troops during WW II. Alaska Adventure Cabins began the conversion to a luxury cabin in the summer of 2002. The conversion was completed in the winter of 2002.

The conversion included the complete sandblasting and repainting of the exterior which was painted to match the Alaskan Railroad colors of blue and yellow. Large picture windows and a large deck were installed on the ocean view side. From the private deck, you can see glaciers, volcanoes, Kachemak Bay and the Homer Spit. A large greenhouse is located outside where flowers and plants are grown in the spring and summer to beautify the Alaska Adventure Cabins.

Rates are based on four guests. The maximum number of guests is six. Additional adults are $35 per person / per night and children under 12 are $20 per child / per night.

Speaks

About Alaska Adventure Cabins

I returned to Homer in June 2020 to pursue my dream of owning a resort on the shores of the beautiful Kachemak Bay. I fell in love with Alaska Adventure Cabins, originally founded and expanded over a 20-year period by Bryan and Karen Zak, longtime residents of Homer. Homer is world-famous for its views and so many other attractions, and in my opinion, the most beautiful place on earth. I want the whole world to experience it. Homer is home for me. Even though I lived in Southeast Alaska and spent the last 20 years in the Matanuska-Susitna Valley, my heart has always been in Homer. I actually spent the first half of my childhood in Homer. I have fond memories of my family homesteading here, which was somewhat like a lifelong family camping trip, although now we might call it glamping, since the house was weather-tight and the wood stove kept it toasty. Outside the city limits of Homer, electricity, running water, and indoor facilities were nonexistent, and media communication was limited to a battery-operated transistor radio. My parents, like many other homesteaders, packed up their small family and traveled from the Lower 48 to start new lives in Alaska. A year later, my mom flew with the doctor in his bush plane to the medical facility in Seldovia to give birth to my twin brother and me, making a total of five children. That is my humble Alaska beginning. There is no place like Homer: the beautiful countryside, mountains, Kachemak Bay, glaciers, and the community spirit. I look forward to hosting you, and while you are here, you may even be greeted by my small, friendly older dog, Pepi, and cat, Aphrodite. I welcome the opportunity to help you make your visit the trip of a lifetime.
