Have you ever slept in a boxcar now's your chance! A Santa Fe Traincar, built in 1941, recently (2020) converted into a unique, comfortable and modern guesthouse ready for you to experience! located just 5 minutes south of the quaint little town of Yoder, 10 minutes from South Hutchinson, and only 30 minutes from Wichita!
The space
This boxcar has the Original Wood lining the inside of the walls, with a loft and a bed built in one end and a bathroom in the other end. We believe this boxcar was originally built in 1941 and had been used on the ATSF Railroad.
Guest access
You will have the entire boxcar to yourself with a table and chairs in the backyard for you to enjoy as well as a privacy fence. There is also a fire-pit, a charcoal grill , tetherball, and corn hole game..feel free to sit outside and watch our Awesome Kansas Sunsets and Sunrises!! (Please bring your own fire wood and charcoal)
There is no oven available but there is a toaster oven, a hot plate and a microwave for you to use.
Other things to note
The boxcar is located on the edge of our farm and you will be able to see our houses from the boxcar but you have your own private yards and the boxcar is your private stay as well
Please note! This boxcar is only set up for 5 guests. If there happens to be more than 5 guests-we will need to be notified. This also means no parties allowed at the boxcar and no extra guests allowed without our permission

    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.

    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.

    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!
