Wonderful night at El Capitan

We were on a road trip between Austin and Las Vegas and, unfortunately, only had 1 night to stay at EC. The place is so cool and beautifully appointed with any amenities you might need. As a host myself, I appreciated all of Becky’s touches. She thought of everything! The sweet doggos greeted us upon our arrival, which was an awesome bonus. Sadly, it rained for much of our stay and we weren’t able to sit out and enjoy the fire pit, but we will definitely be back!

This was a true hidden gem!

I booked a stay for my husband and myself for our wedding anniversary to visit nearby Palo Duro canyon. The host was super friendly and helpful, we were surprised at how comfy and luxurious the boxcar was, I am not sure what I expected, but this blew everything out of the water. It was a fun experience and we are planning a return trip again soon. The dogs were friendly, sweet Allie made my day by hanging out with me on the back patio! I cannot recommend this place enough!

Absolutely perfect

Wow! Stay here if you can! Our kids were camping at the PD canyon and this was a perfect place where we could visit them each day. Entry to the park was 8 per day per adult but worth it! It’s 15 mins Take a right out of box car property for shorter distance to park. The dogs and horses were fun to meet. We were there mainly to shower and sleep (excellent sleep!) The place has all you need including snacks! Very clean and comfortable! Do not hesitate-book it now!

El Capitan was a perfect place to stay. Becky has amazing communication and responds quickly. We enjoyed are stay and the uniqueness of the train car. Easy to get to Canyon and easy to get to Palo Duro Canyon. The train car was very comfortable for 2 adults and 1 child. This stay will not disappoint. Lucy the Great Pyrenees was definitely and added bonus.

Shelter from the storm

We were on a month long roadtrip from New York to Arizona. We came across this listing on our way back from Arizona. Unfortunately we were caught in a terrible dust storm on our way to El Capitan. So we were unable to enjoy the full beauty of the ranch, but what we did experience was a well kept place, communicative and caring host and a magnificent view of the storm from the large window El Capitan provides. This is a unique stay and I hope to stay here again minus the storm one day. The storm was over on the day we left, so we were able to make it to Palo Duro, which is a short drive from the property. I would recommend this place to family and friends

Palo Duro Canyon Get-a-way

El Capitan was quaint and vintage decor. Loved the amenities and all the property had to offer! Peaceful and enjoyed the stay! The host was amazing and so attentive. Less than 15 minutes to the canyon and 25 to Amarillo for the Big Texas Steakhouse. It was my husband and I and our two fur babies. We would definitely recommend if you’re heading that way ! One of a kind!!

Renovated Boxcar Was A Very Unique Stay

Our host Becky provided the two of us with a unique and quiet venue for the duration of our stay. Appreciated having the refrigerator / freezer available to make ice cubes that went into our water bottles for a warm outdoor hike at Palo Duro Canyon State Park. Was also grateful of the host making the boxcar functional, comfortable, and air conditioned during the warm afternoons. Enjoyed spending time with the horses and the dogs, too. Thank you for a terrific stay!

Visit to Palo Duro Canyon

This was an overnight stay after visiting Palo Duro Canyon on our way to Durango Colorado to ride the train to Silverton. The El Capitan was most appealing from VRBO properties listed in the area and did not disappoint. It was very clean and easily accessible and appealed to us right away. Very unique and furnished in rustic Western style that we loved. Wish we had more time there and already have friends wanting to stay in El Capitan from pics we sent home. Definitely a property we would stay at again.
