Historic Pullman Train Car | Sleeps 2!

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.

40th Anniversary
We had an overall great trip, could have used more lighting outside for coming and going in the evening. But with that being said it was interesting place to stay. I would stay again.

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

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.

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.
