This was the most unique motel in which I have ever stayed. It was an old caboose converted to a motel room. We were away from others, so there was no noise.

I have wanted to stay at the Rick Bush motel for a very, very long time because of the caboose itself. I thought they did a great job at making all modern amenities available in such a small space. The theme was what’s most important to me.

Unique experience - Very cool hotel. I recommend it for the experience, for all ages as long as the person can climb in the caboose. The property has a free petting zoo, buggy rides for a fee, a little shop and arcade. The restaurant is very nice as well. Many places to drive around.

Not anywhere near as represented on the internet while booking. I was in a double double caboose and there wasn’t anywhere to put your clothing and only a half folded kitchen table. No outside sitting tables except for one spot in the park. I stayed here about 9 years ago and everything was kept up better.

They are obviously doing a lot of updates and the property is beautiful. We stayed in a caboose that likely hadn’t been updated but still clean and quiet. Just a unique experience that I would definitely do again. Staff was super friendly. Petting zoo was cute for kids. Wished we could have seen what the barn was like. It was absolutely gorgeous on the outside! The family has done a lot of great things to make it a great place to stay. Would definitely stay again!
