Reviews featured on the train car’s Airbnb page praise the swanky accommodations.
“This was such a tremendous experience for us,” wrote Kate, who stayed in August 2017. “I've always wanted to stay in a train car, but never have found one restored to such authentic luxury, providing all the modern amenities without significantly impacting the experience of a restored vintage train car. The furnishings were luxurious, the location was two blocks away from everything in Fredericksburg, and there was a lot more space than I imagined. The bed was incredibly comfortable and the A/C was a wonderful touch in the middle of summer. We didn't even want to explore, because the car was so much fun!”
