This historic property made our 44th wedding anniversary memorable. The location was walking distance from downtown. We highly recommend staying here if you want a unique experience.
Had a great weekend. As described, perfect place to stay if you are into the "Different".

Reviewer Comments:
We rented this adorable place because it was very close to Main Street and also unique and the fact that it is the historical train. The owners keep it very clean and it was an enjoyable stay.
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.
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
This property is like stepping into the past. Seeing what it was like when this beautiful car was created. The bed was so soft you melted into it. Loved this train car experience.
Wow. The Train stay was feakin cool. We have never done something like this before, so it really made our birthdays and our 10th Anniversary extra special.

Kind of bucket list experiance.
The rental management company was very helpful with questions about the property and about things to do in town. The property itself was very clean and surprisingly spacious. It’s a wonderful unique place to rent filled with history. We can’t wait to go back next year!
This was one of the most unique stays! You have to stay here on your stay in Fredericksburg!
The train car was decorated in authentic (or what appeared to be) furnishings, especially highlighting President Theodore Roosevelt. It was bigger than expected. The days and nights were very quiet and peaceful.
It will help if you bring a small flashlight to use if walking back at night because it can be dark as you approach the train car. The hall/walkway down the train car is narrow, so it would not be comfortable for overly large individuals.
Really unique find! Full of historical nick-naks! Comfy & cozy too!

Awesome, very walkable to a cute town and great restaurants
The property was even more than expected. Felt preserved to the original vintage state but very functional. Have already recommended it a friend. Extremely clean and comfortable- the mattress was unexpectedly spectacular.. Thank you!

An opportunity to stay in a unique property. Close to town. Nice that you get a gift certificate as part of the package. Not luxurious but a fun place to stay.
