We'd read rave reviews -- and the box car lived up to all the hype. A unique experience and respite on our cross-country trek. Feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to chat with Becky and meet her uber friendly dogs who were so accommodating to our pooch The place was spotless and one couldn't have ordered a more spectacular sunset.

What a fun find!! We absolutely loved everything about this place, just wish we could have stayed longer. Becky is so nice, prompt and welcoming. Everything was clean and in working order. The horses that reside there were a huge bonus for me! Palo Duro Canyon is so close and a beautiful place. A word of advice - if you are looking and like it, you better book it because it will be gone if you wait until tomorrow!!

Becky was an amazing host! The boxcar was clean, and she even provided some unexpected snacks and drinks. Sunrises and sunsets were beautiful. Even though we were on her property it felt very private. The distance to both Palo Duro and Canyon wasn’t far. We will definitely be back!
Sunrise!
Nice patio to enjoy the sunset.
Beautiful sunset!

Coming from SAN ANTONIO. TX for our 6 yr anniversary. Thank you for a wonderful stay here at your beautiful home at "El capitan". Really cozy for the both of us and our pets. Took a day trip up to Palo Duro canyon and enjoyed the nice scenic views, to come home to more beautiful views and a sunset and even smores at 3am. LoL.If we ever make our way back, we will be back at "El capitan” Highly recommend!

My stay was spectacular. 1000/10. The pictures doesn't capture the beauty of this stay. We stayed for two days and honestly my stay at the boxcar was the best part of the trip. If you are second guessing go for it! Friendly dogs and beautiful horses as well. Becky also gave suggestions on things to do, she keeps the place clean comfy. she’s really a super host!
