Unique accomodation in a great location!

Wish we could have stayed longer in this nicely decorated rail car. Within a few minutes walk of restaurants and the main street shopping area, it couldnt be more convenient. We'll stay here again!

The coolest place to stay when visiting Fredericksburg!

This historic train car is definitely the coolest place I have stayed in during a vacation. It really takes you back in time and provides you with not only a place to stay, but adds to the experience of your stay in Fredericksburg. It's only 3 blocks away from Main Street, well within walking distance but also set back a bit, and very quiet. If you're looking for an out of the ordinary place to stay in Fredericksburg, look no further!

Turn Back Time

If you're looking for a historical experience this is it! A nice stay in a train car with fun USA and Texas history. Just a 5 -10 min walk to Main Street with lots of shopping and food, plus a 10 minute walk to the National WWII Pacific Museum.

Once in a lifetime experience

What a nolgastic place to stay at! So much history inside the train. Truly enjoyed reading the book “Theodore Roosevelt’s Letters to His Children”! Located walking distance to all the shops on Main Street. Couldn’t have picked a better place stay at for our 15th wedding anniversary.

Hospitality and history close to everything!

Really a lovely little place to stay if you're wanting to experience some rich Texas history, with the added benefit of being close to Main Street and many other cool places in Fredericksburg. We loved learning the long, interesting history of the Pullman car. Also loved the many amenities and treats from the host. The only thing missing was the swaying of the car back and forth on the tracks!

The train was wonderful and very historic. We enjoyed looking through the antiques Fredrickicsburg is a great town and lots to do and great food. I recommend the Cabernet Grill on highway 16. The food was outstanding The only thing is that this is advertised as a B&B. And it is a bed but no breakfast. They did have a coffee pot but that was it

Wonderful getaway!

I stayed in the adorable rail car for two weekend nights with my 8 year old daughter for a mother-daughter getaway to Fredericksburg and Enchanted Rock. What an unforgettable trip! My daughter loved the rail car with all of its whimsical details. The bed was incredibly comfortable and it was very quiet and safe in the area. We walked almost everywhere and loved coming home after dinner to the sound of birds and the sunset. The hosts were extremely courteous, organized, and responsive to our needs. I cannot recommend this VRBO more enthusiastically!

Priceless Historic experience and great accommodation

What an incredible experience! Spending the night in a 19th century Pullman that a President traveled in almost 120 years ago is beyond words. With Victorian furnishings and period and Presidential artifacts it was like staying in a museum! Even better than the pictures, the amazing surprise was that you had every modern convenience you could need or want. Very spacious, separate entry parlor and cozy, romantic dining room and comfortable bed and 2 bathrooms, one with shower and the other with a huge Victorian claw foot tub! Less than 5 minutes to Main Street and most all great restaurants in town! A must stay for a great experience!

Totally Awesome! The bed was super comfortable. It's 2-3 blocks off Main Street, so it's quite. There is an HEB a block away. The AC was great! The almost 7 ft. long claw foot bathtub is incredible! I think it's a special place for couples! My wife and I are definitely doing it again! You'll want your own refurbished train car before leave. :-) I wouldn't have found it, if not for VRBO!

Step back in time!

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at the Pullman rail car in Fredericksburg, TX. The furnishings are vintage and quaint. The bed was very comfortable. Ms. Beltran went the extra mile for us with hot chocolate and English breakfast tea for use in the Keurig as we are not coffee drinkers. We also enjoyed the tickets for the Pacific War museum. It was a unique way for us to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. There is lots to do in town and surrounding areas. Great fun and good times!👍🏻🚊🛤💎🛁

Very historic train car

The train car was huge and there was lots of room to spread out. There were two bathrooms (one with shower, one with tub), a living room, kitchen and bedroom. The hosts were generous with drinks and other F&W products, as well as gift certificates for their store. I really appreciated those added benefits. However, the bed was very soft, and I had a hard time getting to sleep. My husband slept well, but I was up till 4am each night. I guess I am used to a firmer and larger bed. The location - while sort of close to Main Street and the HEB - was not what I expected. The train car was located in a more industrial area, although it was not far from a park, but not really walking distance from Main Street in the heat of the summer. The steps to get into the train would be difficult for elderly. but Parking was great!

Cool factor was off the charts

I reserved this for a surprise weekend for my fiancé. I wouldn't tell her where we were staying despite her asking many times. Then when we drove up she had this strange look on her face like "We are staying on a train?" We then walked in and she just couldn't stop saying how cool this was. It was a very unique experience. We entered the room to a personal welcome from the owner along with a gift. There was so much history and nostalgia in the car you could spend a great deal of time just looking at the artifacts as if you were in a museum. It was like sleeping in a museum. The queen bed was very comfortable. The butler's kitchen was just right for mixing drinks, making coffee, etc. This was a very unique and interesting place to stay and I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for something outside the norm. It is an experience we will remember forever. One note is this property is not handicap-accessible and I would not recommend for such.

Little things mean a lot...

We were so excited about this historic place to stay for our Anniversary. It was definitely different and as soon as we figured out the layout, we tried to settle in...the history was evident with the books, letters & photographs and memorabilia of Teddy Roosevelt. Hmmm...then we saw several light bulbswere burned out right where we wanted them, like the bathroom area and the night table. Also, the closets were a mess with broken rods and other broken things on the floor of one closet. We just used the door hooks to hang up clothes . Nice wooden hangers were also piled on the floor of the closets. ??? Luggage racks would be nice or a bench at the foot of the bed. The bathmats needed refreshing....they felt dirty. The galley kitchen was fine and there is a small refrigerator and a Keurig coffee maker and a few dishes and utensils. It was very quiet and felt safe at the edge of town. I hope the maintenance will improve for future visitors. We did enjoy the novelty of narrow corridors and the charming little game/ breakfast room and the history behind the Pullman car😊 Thank you so much.

Unique Historical Stay - Great Couple Retreat

Really unique stay with detailed focused to history. Great attention to detail on decor elements, including upholstery, furniture, books and more. Pros: This is a phenomenal getaway for a couple. Two bathrooms, two bathing areas (although they are tight), and two dressing areas. Two work areas for those that are working remotely right now where each can have privacy to focus. This is a genuine Pullman train so the history, nostalgia (and gentle wear) is part of the charm, so be aware that the size and dimensions are over a century old. Bed is incredibly soft, with strong AC (takes awhile for it cool the car in the midday heat but was perfectly cool in the evening) and a standup fan. Cons: Galley is severely limited, offering only a small fridge, sink, microwave and glasses/flatware/cutlery. This is more than enough to enjoy small bites, leftovers, morning coffee/tea and wine, but you cannot cook or meal prep here, and there isn't a grill. Plan to eat out for most/all meals, which is somewhat of a challenge due to fluctuating closures and restrictions. Wifi is offered, but it is a personal hotspot device that has limited monthly usage and will throttle down when it reaches its threshold. Also isn't strong enough to reach both work spaces. This was a "pro" for us as we wanted to unplug - but for remote workers reliant on video chat - this may be an issue.
