The Boise Jewell

The Boise Jewell is a fully restored 1962 Union Pacific red caboose set on 40 feet of original railroad track in Boise's West End. It is a stay of its own: you book the caboose, and the caboose is what you get.

Inside. Two queen beds. The main bed in the car, and a raised bed at the top of the stairs in the cupola, where the windows go all the way around. A small parlor sitting area, and a bathroom with a custom shower.

Outside. Relax and soak in our dual cast iron hot tubs.

Events, too. Most people come for a night or two, but the parcel holds a gathering. Capacity for events up to 60 standing or 30 sitting. Filming and photo shoots welcome. External catering allowed. Music and PA system available. Bring your own DJ.

The name. Janae's Great Grandpa Jewell worked the railroads and brought his family to Jerome, Idaho. The Boise Jewell is an ode to him.
