We rented this adorable place because it was very close to Main Street and also unique and the fact that it is the historical train. The owners keep it very clean and it was an enjoyable stay.

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.

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

The rental management company was very helpful with questions about the property and about things to do in town. The property itself was very clean and surprisingly spacious. It’s a wonderful unique place to rent filled with history. We can’t wait to go back next year!

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!

An opportunity to stay in a unique property. Close to town. Nice that you get a gift certificate as part of the package. Not luxurious but a fun place to stay.

Our employees gave us this trip knowing our love for history and Fredericksburg. We had a great weekend and thoroughly enjoyed reading about the Pullman car and it’s connection to the famous 6666 Ranch and President Roosevelt.

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.

We absolutely loved staying in this unique antique sleeper car. It was so interesting and fun. It is a few blocks to Main Street which we were able to walk in about 15 minutes. There is an HEB in walking distance and a lunch and dinner restaurant very close that we enjoyed Thank you for the wonderful experience. We had everything we needed and the communication was excellent.

What a unique weekend we had. The train was something I never dreamed of doing but found the Pullman Train Car during a search of Fredericksburg lodging. While the train is pretty much original condition it was very clean and had all amenities required. I would definitely recommend the Pullman Train Car for a lodging experinece in Fredericksburg.

Really enjoyed stepping back in history and staying in the sleeper car. Location was close enough to Main Street. The only negative was the tractor trailers moving late at night near the sleeper car. Property was exactly as described. Very rich with history and information about the car. Car was very comfortable

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!
