Step back in time!

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at the Pullman rail car in Fredericksburg, TX. The furnishings are vintage and quaint. The bed was very comfortable. Ms. Beltran went the extra mile for us with hot chocolate and English breakfast tea for use in the Keurig as we are not coffee drinkers. We also enjoyed the tickets for the Pacific War museum. It was a unique way for us to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. There is lots to do in town and surrounding areas. Great fun and good times!👍🏻🚊🛤💎🛁

Cool factor was off the charts

I reserved this for a surprise weekend for my fiancé. I wouldn't tell her where we were staying despite her asking many times. Then when we drove up she had this strange look on her face like "We are staying on a train?" We then walked in and she just couldn't stop saying how cool this was. It was a very unique experience. We entered the room to a personal welcome from the owner along with a gift. There was so much history and nostalgia in the car you could spend a great deal of time just looking at the artifacts as if you were in a museum. It was like sleeping in a museum. The queen bed was very comfortable. The butler's kitchen was just right for mixing drinks, making coffee, etc. This was a very unique and interesting place to stay and I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for something outside the norm. It is an experience we will remember forever. One note is this property is not handicap-accessible and I would not recommend for such.

Little things mean a lot...

We were so excited about this historic place to stay for our Anniversary. It was definitely different and as soon as we figured out the layout, we tried to settle in...the history was evident with the books, letters & photographs and memorabilia of Teddy Roosevelt. Hmmm...then we saw several light bulbswere burned out right where we wanted them, like the bathroom area and the night table. Also, the closets were a mess with broken rods and other broken things on the floor of one closet. We just used the door hooks to hang up clothes . Nice wooden hangers were also piled on the floor of the closets. ??? Luggage racks would be nice or a bench at the foot of the bed. The bathmats needed refreshing....they felt dirty. The galley kitchen was fine and there is a small refrigerator and a Keurig coffee maker and a few dishes and utensils. It was very quiet and felt safe at the edge of town. I hope the maintenance will improve for future visitors. We did enjoy the novelty of narrow corridors and the charming little game/ breakfast room and the history behind the Pullman car😊 Thank you so much.

Unusual combination of romance and history.

Was looking for something different to celebrate our 42nd anniversary. We travel a good bit in and out of the US, often by train, but had never stayed in a private train car before. We very much enjoyed the experience and won't hesitate to do it again. Private and great for romantic getaways. The 6666 was built for a famous North Texan in 1894 and is full of antiques and Teddy Roosevelt memorabilia from that period. Very comfortable queen bed and lounging area. Everything is a bit tight by modern standards but that's just part of the experience. Huge clawfoot tub in one bathroom and small shower with great water pressure in the other. Tiny galley on the far end with Keurig, microwave and small refrigerator to hold the wine and desserts you'll bring back from Main Street. Located across Barron Creek about 3 or 4 blocks from Main Street in a light industrial area (~7 minute walk). There's also a HEB grocery 2 blocks away for essentials. Big parking area. Some traffic noise but nothing intrusive. By a neat twist of fate, our favorite sauces and condiment maker, Fischer & Wieser, owns the 6666 and it's right by their facility. We had no idea! We also received two large gift certificates to use in their store on Main Street or the Peach Haus and came home with a backseat full of different sauces and such. Very friendly people and we will definitely be back in the next year or two! Would I recommend this vacation rental to my best friend? Yes.

Very historic train car

The train car was huge and there was lots of room to spread out. There were two bathrooms (one with shower, one with tub), a living room, kitchen and bedroom. The hosts were generous with drinks and other F&W products, as well as gift certificates for their store. I really appreciated those added benefits. However, the bed was very soft, and I had a hard time getting to sleep. My husband slept well, but I was up till 4am each night. I guess I am used to a firmer and larger bed. The location - while sort of close to Main Street and the HEB - was not what I expected. The train car was located in a more industrial area, although it was not far from a park, but not really walking distance from Main Street in the heat of the summer. The steps to get into the train would be difficult for elderly. but Parking was great!

The pictures don’t do the train car justice. You’re close enough to walk to Main Street and yet it’s secluded. Perfect weekend.

Cool train 10/10 would recommend

It was a super cool place. The train is not necessarily in prime location but is walking distance to main St. And very close to HEB for supplies. Every thing in the train car seemed unique to the FDR theme. The train is very large and comfortable. Overall we just loved the whole experience of sleeping on a train car. It was so interesting and fun!

If you're looking for a historical experience this is it! A nice stay in a train car with fun USA and Texas history. Just a 5 -10 min walk to Main Street with lots of shopping and food, plus a 10 minute walk to the National WWII Pacific Museum.

Interesting Place to Stay

Loved the unique place to stay. Great proximity to Main Street. Needs a new bed that doesn't sink down in the middle and Kuerig coffee for guests. Only hot chocolate available but HEB was right down the street. Other than that, was a cool place to stay.

Unique experience

We do not like “cookie cutter” hotels. The Palace Pullman Railcar IS special. We LOVED all the memorabilia! Thanks to Pat for answering any questions. We WALKED to the Main Street and thus avoided trying to park! HEB is just a short distance too. We thought having two bathrooms a true luxuary!! We brought our own snacks ....don’t expect to Cook but there is a microwave and small refrigerator. Five star stay!

Priceless Historic experience and great accommodation

What an incredible experience! Spending the night in a 19th century Pullman that a President traveled in almost 120 years ago is beyond words. With Victorian furnishings and period and Presidential artifacts it was like staying in a museum! Even better than the pictures, the amazing surprise was that you had every modern convenience you could need or want. Very spacious, separate entry parlor and cozy, romantic dining room and comfortable bed and 2 bathrooms, one with shower and the other with a huge Victorian claw foot tub! Less than 5 minutes to Main Street and most all great restaurants in town! A must stay for a great experience!

Unique Historical Stay - Great Couple Retreat

Really unique stay with detailed focused to history. Great attention to detail on decor elements, including upholstery, furniture, books and more. Pros: This is a phenomenal getaway for a couple. Two bathrooms, two bathing areas (although they are tight), and two dressing areas. Two work areas for those that are working remotely right now where each can have privacy to focus. This is a genuine Pullman train so the history, nostalgia (and gentle wear) is part of the charm, so be aware that the size and dimensions are over a century old. Bed is incredibly soft, with strong AC (takes awhile for it cool the car in the midday heat but was perfectly cool in the evening) and a standup fan. Cons: Galley is severely limited, offering only a small fridge, sink, microwave and glasses/flatware/cutlery. This is more than enough to enjoy small bites, leftovers, morning coffee/tea and wine, but you cannot cook or meal prep here, and there isn't a grill. Plan to eat out for most/all meals, which is somewhat of a challenge due to fluctuating closures and restrictions. Wifi is offered, but it is a personal hotspot device that has limited monthly usage and will throttle down when it reaches its threshold. Also isn't strong enough to reach both work spaces. This was a "pro" for us as we wanted to unplug - but for remote workers reliant on video chat - this may be an issue.
