Historic Railcar Accommodations

This holiday home is set inside a restored Santa Fe railcar in Brownwood. The railcar offers a king studio with a private bathroom that includes a relaxing tub and custom tile work featuring an 'All Aboard' message in the floor. Guests have access to a wardrobe, linens, and a fireplace for cooler evenings.

The railcar is equipped with a fully fitted kitchenette that includes a microwave, toaster, and refrigerator. A washing machine, tumble dryer, and ironing supplies allow guests to do laundry on site. Free WiFi, air conditioning, and heating are provided, plus board games and a TV are available for downtime.

Outdoor & Relaxation Spaces

A large covered deck with BBQ facilities and outdoor furniture extends the living space outdoors. The patio includes a barbecue grill for cooking meals and a seating area for dining or relaxing. This outdoor area is where many guests choose to grill dinner and drink wine under the cover.

Guest Experiences & Extensions

Guest reviews show that stays often start at one night and are extended to three nights due to the relaxing feeling of the space. Visitors appreciate the ability to cook their own meals and wash clothes after long road trips. The combination of the antique railcar and the large covered deck has been called the best stay of a three-week vacation.
