The Santa Fe Boxcar

Such a fun experience! Very nice and my kiddos loved it!! The train car is awesome! My youngest is in love with trains and this was just the Cherry on top of visiting family in Hutchinson! Clean, quiet and perfect!

Was a great stay!! Way better than any hotel room

This is somewhat of a mixed review. The charm of the box car, the look the feel the uniqueness was wonderful. Would be an awesome place to take a couple grandchildren for a day. We went for an adult birthday trip. Communication was not what I wished for. Was looking for input about things to do and where to eat, I got one suggestion. Sell your community and people will come. Was also looking for my check-in information and did not receive it until 3:50 in the afternoon after I contacted them about when I would receive it. The only information we were given about the heat in the unit was a combination window unit. The window unit is not adequate to keep the box car comfortable in temperatures below 30F. I did find two extra heaters that were not mentioned and was able to keep the car somewhat comfortable. Other suggestions would be to have different kinds of coffee and to ensure that there was plenty of sugar and cream available for those coffees. We had three creamers and one packet of sugar. I was able to find more creamers in a drawer, but was not able to locate more sugar. I can understand the concept of being off the grid as far as Internet/no TV and after looking at the ad for the unit, realize now that there was no mention of Wi-Fi. We were looking for things to do in Hutch and since you’re in a metal box car, you also do not get cellular signal. If it is your intent to have people off grid, it might be better to mention that a little bit more in your description.

It was quite and peaceful.

The Santa Fe Boxcar was exactly the experience my son and I were hoping for! The amenities were perfectly “on track!” The setting fostered discussion; not distraction. I couldn’t help but reminisce about our family reading “The Boxcar Children”This is exactly where you want to stay if you want to break out of boring hotels and cookie-cutter houses!I strongly recommend staying here for a memorable experience!

Absolutely wonderful!! Even though it rained, it was awesome!! We LOVE the way the boxcar is furnished and everything about how it feels like home!! Our dog was very happy with everything and she behaved very well, also. Celebrated our 51st Anniversary in the boxcar and enjoyed the nature of the atmosphere of simplicity.

Beautiful sunrise and sunset. Peaceful and perfect!

Nice place on a farm. Peacefull and quiet, fresh air, open spaces! The hosts are accommodating.

Such a cute and fun experience to stay in the box car! It was well done, clean and had all the amenities we could possibly need! Perfect for our visit to Yoder and would definitely stay again!

A very quiet and unique setting. Full compliment of items within to make one feel at home. Smoke detector was not working, but otherwise everything is as shared and the price is exceptional. Very worth a stay.

it was amazing!! the area was so nice and well kept, just like the photos.

The boxcar was really cute and well furnished. We enjoyed a very quiet and cozy night.

Never stayed in a boxcar. Fun touches throughout.

The train car was lovely and really enjoyed staying there. Liked the availability of the coffee bar area. All furnishings very nice. Great communication with property owner.

By far the most comfortable place to stay in the area.

The box car was unique, quaint, and perfect for our short day. Host is very responsive and accommodating. Will definitely return. Setting in the country is beautiful!

The box car was a very cool place and ideal for our stay. However it really seemed like it was unprepared for our stay. There was no pre check in communication from the host. When we arrive the door was unlocked, but the door jamb was busted. There were dirty dishes in the sink, and a full trash can. The bed were stripped and all the dirty laundry from the last guest was on the floor. We had to dig around to find out new sheets and make the beds ourselves. Overall the ace was nice, but the host had clearly not prepared for our stay.

Unique stay perfect for our family of 4. It's a cute place, quiet, serene, and comfortable. We played with the tetherball outside, played with a few games inside, and also read part of the boxcar children book set that was available!
