Pirates Cove Caboose has been artfully remodeled from top to bottom. It's the result of the dreams and passion for trains of previous owners, Ed and Sue Taylor, Physicians who purchased and remodeled the Great Northern Caboose in 2001. Care was taken to use the highest quality materials throughout. The iron base and beautiful aged hardwood floors were preserved. New walls and a higher ceiling were built in the style of the original Great Northern caboose.
On the back side of the caboose is a spacious kitchen with full size stove and fridge. A bathroom and bedroom have been added. The large living room window offers expansive views of Puget Sound.

Queen Bedroom with new, all memory foam mattress, feather pillows, down comforters, 2 person shower.
2 hand made sets of bunks as they originally appeared in the caboose provide room for four singles. The bunks share the "L" shaped bedroom with the queen, and are around a corner from the queen bed
A queen leather sofa sleeper is in the living room for a second couple. It is not your usual "boney metal frame in the back" sleeper, but has wood slats below the memory foam mattress. . . . one of the most comfortable sofa sleepers we have slept on.
There is one bathroom off the queen bedroom with spacious, 2 person shower
Skylights above the bunks, and in the bathroom
