This was a true hidden gem!

I booked a stay for my husband and myself for our wedding anniversary to visit nearby Palo Duro canyon. The host was super friendly and helpful, we were surprised at how comfy and luxurious the boxcar was, I am not sure what I expected, but this blew everything out of the water. It was a fun experience and we are planning a return trip again soon. The dogs were friendly, sweet Allie made my day by hanging out with me on the back patio! I cannot recommend this place enough!

We had an amazing stay at El Capitan. It was an excellent location near by the state park and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The host was also great, bonus was co-host Lucy the Great Pyrenees saying hi to us every morning. We would definitely stay here again!

El Capitan was a perfect place to stay. Becky has amazing communication and responds quickly. We enjoyed are stay and the uniqueness of the train car. Easy to get to Canyon and easy to get to Palo Duro Canyon. The train car was very comfortable for 2 adults and 1 child. This stay will not disappoint. Lucy the Great Pyrenees was definitely and added bonus.

Absolutely perfect

Wow! Stay here if you can! Our kids were camping at the PD canyon and this was a perfect place where we could visit them each day. Entry to the park was 8 per day per adult but worth it! It’s 15 mins Take a right out of box car property for shorter distance to park. The dogs and horses were fun to meet. We were there mainly to shower and sleep (excellent sleep!) The place has all you need including snacks! Very clean and comfortable! Do not hesitate-book it now!

Palo Duro Canyon Get-a-way

El Capitan was quaint and vintage decor. Loved the amenities and all the property had to offer! Peaceful and enjoyed the stay! The host was amazing and so attentive. Less than 15 minutes to the canyon and 25 to Amarillo for the Big Texas Steakhouse. It was my husband and I and our two fur babies. We would definitely recommend if you’re heading that way ! One of a kind!!
