Pullman Train Car - Historic Train Car - Close to downtown

Want to experience what it was like to ride in a Pullman car while crossing this great country of ours? The 1894 Private Palace Pullman Car will give you that feeling and more! Theodore Roosevelt used this car on one of his trips to the 6666 Ranch in North Texas. It is believed that the Indian Chief Quanah Parker has also ridden in this unique Pullman Car. History surrounds you in every nook and cranny. This wonderful antique train car was built in 1894 by Pullman for the Quanah, Acme and Pacific railroad. Not only is the car historic, but it is very Romantic and perfect for a "Just the Two of You" Getaway.

We very much enjoyed our stay in the train car. The AC kept us cool, it was very quiet, and a close walk or drive to everything in town.

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

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.

The property was even more than expected. Felt preserved to the original vintage state but very functional. Have already recommended it a friend. Extremely clean and comfortable- the mattress was unexpectedly spectacular.. Thank you!

Post wedding/mini moon

This was the best place to rent post wedding. I wanted to find something you wouldn’t expect to find in Texas and I had no idea this Pullman car existed—having been born and raised in Texas. My husband and I met back East and moved to Texas in 2021 so I love finding things/places he wouldn’t expect to see/exist in Texas.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: What an amazing experience we had, staying at the Pullman Train Car! We truly felt that we were stepping back in time. Such a fun and cozy place to stay. The decor is amazing, with all the pictures and memorabilia. The Train Car is located off the beaten path in a very peaceful area, but so close to all the attractions. We loved having a living room to relax in and a kitchen available. And 2 bathrooms! No sharing with the hubs! We love staying in historical locations, and this one did not disappoint!
