Absolutely perfect spot to enjoy Palo Duro Canyon and close enough grab something to eat in Canyon. Picturesque views of frolicking horses and gentle donkeys. Great get away for peace away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Host gave excellent details, provided snacks and drinks. Very responsive. Top notch host!

Super Chief was the perfect place for our overnight stay as we were here for a wedding at Palo Duro. The place was immaculate and well organized. The pastoral setting was so nice compared to the chaos of a large city. It was nice to have the snack basket after the day’s drive. Overall a very pleasant experience.

Our short time in the Super Chief was absolutely delightful! It was the perfect wind-down to a long road trip and capped off a day spent hiking in the Canyon. We enjoyed a beautiful Texas sunset with a sweet pup, and were greeted with a gorgeous sunrise upon departure. I wish our time had been longer but I can’t wait to come back to stay again and to explore the Canyon even more. It’s like Texas’ best kept secret! Our host was wonderfully responsive, and the property was even better than the description.

This was a stunning little extremely comfortable 1 bedroom to stay in. It was easy to find and access, the hosts were extremely responsive and positive. Somehow they built this so that every space feels both cozy and spacious at the same time. We just sat on the sofa and looked at the landscape until the sun went down, then we moved to the deck chairs and stared at the stars. We were looking for something quiet- to get away from the city. This was perfect, the nearest neighbors were the RV park and we heard nothing from them. There are a few nearby houses, but what we mostly heard was the Donkeys, horses and birds. It was an ideal base to be able to explore Palo Duro Canyon, Buffalo Lake National Wildlife Refuge, Canyon, Amarillo and Vega. We didn't bring pets but the canine hosts were friendly and it's obviously set up for those who do bring dogs. Highly recommend this place for a quiet peaceful escape.

Fantastic find!

We LOVED our stay at the railcar! This was a fantastic find and perfect for our family of 4. My boys (kids) loved that we were staying somewhere different than a hotel. Our host was very responsive and welcoming! We will definitely stay here next time we are in the area.

Our stay in the Super Chief

The Super Chief is a unique place to stay to say the least. We found it to be comfortable and clean. The view from the patio and the picture window is very relaxing, open fields with rabbits and scaled quail are quite common. If your looking for tranquility this is a good place to spend a few nights.

This is such a fantastic one bedroom property, perfect for me and my husband and our two dogs. The host provided several thoughtful touches, including snacks, drinks, a filtered water pitcher in the fridge, and nice toiletries in the shower. The sunset was incredible, and the peacefulness was pure calm. Surrounding properties had horses and other farm animals, as well as dogs who greeted us and played with our dogs. We will definitely stay here again when driving from Austin to Colorado.
