There was a misunderstanding about the pet deposit. VRBO did not apply deposit amount to total. This was a problem that was resolved. Other than that odd interaction, the stay was great.

Beautiful Secluded Area.
My wife and I were up here to visit Palo Duro Canyon, and wanted somewhere quiet and peaceful. My father used to collect model trains - so the idea of staying in a retired box car caught my eye. Located on the owners property outside of Canyon - this was a great location. The host was communicative, and the property was well stocked and comfortable. It was nice knowing the host was right there if we needed anything, but we were far enough away for ample privacy. Located minutes away from the state park, Canyon, and the highway up to Abilene it was very convenient. We were not a fan of the skylight right above our heads in the bedroom - especially in the morning - so just be aware - they currently cannot be blocked. Not a negative - but something to know. Really enjoyed our time here - great place, great hosts.

This is a great place to stay for some quiet and some really big skies, and it is very close to Palo Duro Canyon State Park and the cute town of Canyon, TX. The rail car is absolutely adorable and extremely comfortable and clean. I wish I had been able to stay longer and will definitely come back. Becky is a great host - she offered so many nice details in her hospitality which made me feel at home, and I also felt like I had privacy. I stayed here in the winter and would like to return in the warmer months and enjoy the outdoor seating and grill.

Amazing Hospitality in the TX Panhandle
My wife, two children and our dog Norman absolutely loved our stay at El Capitan. Becky could not have been more hospitable and the boxcar is as homey and comfy as it gets. Becky had truly thought of everything. We all enjoyed the waking up to the horses and donkeys in the pastures and the sunset in the evening is breathtaking. We look forward to coming back and visiting her other boxcar the Grand Chief!

The Wild West
This was the kick off to our family vacation towards the west! The boxcar is incredibly beautiful I loved the decor and landscaping. My kids were so excited for the sweet dogs and the fact they were sleeping in a train car. It happened to be the last full moon of the year the night we stayed and laying down seeing the moon through the skylights was my most favorite. I love finding unique places to stay and this one gave me so much inspiration!

Unique Experience
Becky is a fantastic host and provides so many personal touches. The boxcar was a unique experience and we loved the skylights over the bed, especially as we were there for the Beaver Full Moon. It is close to Palo Duro Canyon and it is quiet and peaceful at night. We would definitely recommend it and stay there again.

Becky, the boxcar is a great idea and your refurbishment is awesome. Being from the DFW area we really enjoyed the big sky and the added bonus of the moon peeking thru the skylight. A fantastic place to stay. Thank you for your hospitality.

After a small snafu during the check in process, we had a fantastic stay at El Capitan! Becky was an excellent hostess and went out of her way to make us feel welcome. The property has all the amenities you need. The decorations are perfect and the West Texas scenery is iconic. We enjoyed the evening’s pink sunset on patio and watching the gorgeous sunrise from the pullout bed in the living room. We will absolutely be back!

Total relaxation in a unique setting
This place is awesome! Super clean and super comfortable - all in an authentic boxcar. We spent two very enjoyable nights there while touring the local area - I wish we could have used it for the rest of our trip. It had all we needed, plus plenty of peace and quiet. The treats were a very nice touch. We enjoyed a perfect view of the sunset from the side porch and nice bright stars - especially in the early morning. Also enjoyed playing with the resident dogs. Becky is an excellent host - we had a nice visit with her and were treated to a tour of her newest boxcar creation. If you want a truly unique and comfortable stay, this is the place. We hope to be back some day. Mark and Linda G

Our Empty Nester Getaway
I booked this for a few days since we had just dropped our youngest off at college and I didn’t want to go home right away. My husband wasn’t sure what to expect when I told him we were staying in a box car, but upon entering he was immediately impressed. It was a short maybe 10 minute drive to everything on campus and in Canyon. Becky had the A/C running for us, left a welcome note, and some thoughtful WTAMU gear. The decor was lovely, I loved the western feel, the welcoming porch, and clean landscaping What grabbed my attention before booking- was the view of the horses, from the big picture window/ garage door. So you can be sure that’s where I had my morning coffee and cold beverages in the evening. Thank you Becky, Lucy, Chubs, and all your furr babies for making this a weekend we will cherish!

So glad we didn’t miss this one!
This was one of our most memorable stays in a VRBO. This is not to missed if you love some adventure, quiet, wonderful hosting, the great outdoors, fun decor, etc. We enjoyed this stay so much we were sending pictures to family & friends who we thought would love it, too. Thx, Becky, for creating this kind of experience. Great way to enjoy Palo Duro Canyon & the surrounding area! We also appreciated the snacks and extra provisions.
