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.

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.

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

Fun and Romantic Trip to the Age of Trains

Very clean, comfortable, and romantic place to spend a night or two with my wife. We arrived very late and used a lock box location to pick up the key. We were really happy to not to need to bother anyone that late. If you are doing this, be sure to arrange this with the host before hand. Upon arrival, we were delighted by the period decorations and historic texts provide. It was a fun way to connect with the Pullman. The car had all of the amenities that we expect with modern accommodations, and they blended well with the historic features. The location would be within a walk to Main St, if the weather were good. For us the weather was a bit to cold for the walk, but the drive was very short. There was ample parking just outside of the train. As a warning (and I am sure, they call this out), if you need an ADA style, this is probably not the stay for you. We loved the location, and the experience, and will be recommending it to others for a fun and romantic get away.

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

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
