Beautiful and Unique

We loved staying at the Superchief Boxcar. We came to visit Palo Duro State Park and Caprock Canyon State Park. It was the perfect location. Becky was a great host. She provided snacks, drinks, creamer, coffee, and privacy. We loved the train car and highly recommend it.

We had a wonderful stay in the boxcar. The location is private, quiet, and offers some beautiful views. We enjoyed the local brew and it was nice to have a few snacks also. I can’t get over how cute the car is decorated. No detail was left untouched and it shows! Do not hesitate to book this little gem. You will not be disappointed.

Beautiful Gem!

Found this gem looking for a get away for myself and my husband. Lovely place just as pictured! Becky was amazing since the moment I booked, her communication was extremely welcoming. The weather dropped to freezing temperatures but she had it nice and warm by the time we got there. I love that she had little treats for us and the extra toiletry essentials! You can tell she truly cares for her guests and she goes above and beyond. It’s a perfect get away spot, cozy and beautiful scenery. we got to see the horses across the way as we left. We will definitely be returning and next time with our little ones. Thank you Becky for such amazing hospitality and a good experience!!! -XOXO

Big sky & sunsets!

My family and I traveled to Texas for some dog training work. We chose this property because it was super cool staying in a box car and the views looked spectacular. We're so glad that we made this choice! The views did not disappoint, you can say for miles. And the sunrise and sunsets are unobstructed and gorgeous.
