About this property

Pullman Train Car - Historic Train Car - Close to downtown

Want to experience what it was like to ride in a Pullman car while crossing this great country of ours? The 1894 Private Palace Pullman Car will give you that feeling and more! Theodore Roosevelt used this car on one of his trips to the 6666 Ranch in North Texas. It is believed that the Indian Chief Quanah Parker has also ridden in this unique Pullman Car. History surrounds you in every nook and cranny. This wonderful antique train car was built in 1894 by Pullman for the Quanah, Acme and Pacific railroad. Not only is the car historic, but it is very Romantic and perfect for a "Just the Two of You" Getaway.

The Pullman Train Car lived up to all of my expectations!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: What can I say? The authenticity of the train car was exceptional and was beyond anything I was expecting. I came down to celebrate my birthday along with my teenage grandson. We are both history buffs and was so excited to see how well preserved a part of American history remains!

40th Anniversary

We had an overall great trip, could have used more lighting outside for coming and going in the evening. But with that being said it was interesting place to stay. I would stay again.

A unique opportunity

We very much enjoyed our stay in the train car. The AC kept us cool, it was very quiet, and a close walk or drive to everything in town.

Great unique place to stay

The rental management company was very helpful with questions about the property and about things to do in town. The property itself was very clean and surprisingly spacious. It’s a wonderful unique place to rent filled with history. We can’t wait to go back next year!

Romantic cozy stay

The Pullman is an interesting step back in history. The preservation of the railcar character adds to ambience. The Pullman is a nice place for a romantic getaway. Only drawback was the people trying to use it as a background for photos. The steps are a little step to the entrance but not horrible

Cute Idea

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location is good and very walkable to some great restaurants, main street and groceries. The train car was way too cluttered, difficult to find a spot to set down a bag, the main bathroom had a rotten out door because the shower leaks so much, quite dusty and felt dirty. The AC unit did not cool down the bedroom or kitchen of the unit - and we were there on a 92 degree day, not the heat of TX summer. The idea is great, but execution mediocre at best. Needs quite a bit of TLC as someone else mentioned last year.

Unique and Lovely Experience

This was one of the most unique stays! You have to stay here on your stay in Fredericksburg! The train car was decorated in authentic (or what appeared to be) furnishings, especially highlighting President Theodore Roosevelt. It was bigger than expected. The days and nights were very quiet and peaceful. It will help if you bring a small flashlight to use if walking back at night because it can be dark as you approach the train car. The hall/walkway down the train car is narrow, so it would not be comfortable for overly large individuals.

There is an HEB in walking distance and a lunch and dinner restaurant very close that we enjoyed Thank you for the wonderful experience. We had everything we needed and the communication was excellent.

Pullman Sleeper Car

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Really enjoyed stepping back in history and staying in the sleeper car. Location was close enough to Main Street. The only negative was the tractor trailers moving late at night near the sleeper car. Property was exactly as described. Very rich with history and information about the car. Car was very comfortable

Broken heart

My son b-day was horrible. The place was uncleaned, no linen, bedding on floor was dirty and stained as well. Restroom had trash overflowing from prior tenants. Couch had dog hair on it. No towels and roaches in kitchen side. Spoke to manager she was kind. She sent over cleaning people and they treated me like we shouldn't have been there! My son was in PJs btw tome they arrived with bag of linen. For what i payed the experience was horrible. The only thing was my 5 yr old was amazed to be in a train. I saved for this trip and it was disappointing
