Lightn up guys .... he's taking his family. We used to stay at the Red Caboose with the kids often. They loved it. IIRC, they even had fly swatters in the cabooses for your convenience.
On the other hand, sometimes enough is enough, and we would stay at Willow Valley Resort ... a little ways west of Strasburg taking 741. Swimming pools, pretty good buffet, big rooms. Kinda overpriced.
There used to be a tiny motel a ways east of Dutch Wonderland ... Cherry Lane Motel ??? .... off of rt 30/340 ..... run by an elderly couple. My kids would go in the chicken coop and fetch their own eggs to be cooked for them, take a try at their milk cow , etc. Really nice. Then a family from India or someplace bought the motel, and lived there. They were very nice people, but all the animals and stuff ended. Sad.
We spent many a weekend in Strasburg when my kids were small. Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania .... what a great place!!!!
Have fun on your trip.
Jim
