Stylishly Renovated Train: Sunsets for Miles Near Wtamu and Palo Duro Canyon

wonderful place to recharge I was searching for someplace unique, off the beaten path to relax and recharge. El Capitan exceed my expectations.My wife was a bit skeptical when I told her we where staying in a rail car, but she fell in love with it too. On our drive home she said to me we should have spent more time here. The rail car is well laid out and perfect for us. My wife loved the bed pillows and linens, she said it was the best sleep she had in a while. The shower was wonderful and the kitchen area was great for preparing breakfast in the morning and prepping food for the grill outside for dinner. I initially thought it strange that the grill and table and chairs were around the back, but the genius of the location became apparent the first evening when I went out to grill. The location is shaded by the late afternoon and we enjoy a mild breeze. We enjoyed the horses as they worked their way to the fence line as the day progressed. Poppy the Jack Russel was a frequent visitor daily, he is adorable. I spent most evenings out in the Adirondack chair enjoying the sunset and the cooling weather and the breeze till the stars came out. Becky the host was great with communicating useful information, and answering my questions. She really had the place ready for guests, there was a basket of snacks and some drinks in the fridge. the bathroom was stocked with just about every thing one might need if you forgot anything. The location was ideal base close to Palo Duro, Canyon and Amarillo

Stopped in on our way to the Grand Canyon The boxcar is very cozy and cute! It was a quiet, rejuvenating place to rest after traveling. We all slept well, enjoyed a hot shower and the friendly dogs. There were horses and foals at the farm too (though we only observed those :) ) I think we would have loved a few more nights!

Absolutely Beautiful Property This property is absolutely as beautiful as the listing makes it seem. Lucy, the donkeys and the horses were really the stars of the show. My biggest complaint is not enough windows to look at all the beautiful scenery surrounding you!

Absolutely Loved it here! This was hands down the most unique place we stayed on our 15 day Road Trip. We both loved it. Check in was effortless. The boxcar was so clean and every little detail was thought of. We were greeted with friendly dogs and the most beautiful scenery. We enjoyed a fire and listening to the birds while watching the horses. I actually relaxed here. A storm rolled in and we sat inside and watched the lightning show from the couch next to the glass garage door. So cool. Far better than watching TV. Though that was there too if we wanted. If you get the chance to stay here. Highly recommended.

This was a true hidden gem! I booked a stay for my husband and myself for our wedding anniversary to visit nearby Palo Duro canyon. The host was super friendly and helpful, we were surprised at how comfy and luxurious the boxcar was, I am not sure what I expected, but this blew everything out of the water. It was a fun experience and we are planning a return trip again soon. The dogs were friendly, sweet Allie made my day by hanging out with me on the back patio! I cannot recommend this place enough!

Very cozy retreat Gorgeous landscape, very friendly neighbor dogs, and beautiful horses just across the way.
