Summary: 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.

Summary: 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!

Summary: While traveling from South Dakota to Oklahoma, we decided to stop for the night and found the Santa Fe Boxcar on VRBO. Since it was the same day, there was trouble booking online. By contacting the host, Amy, she went above and beyond to make sure we were able to book our night at the Santa Fe Boxcar. It was dark when we arrived but Amy's directions were spot on - even when mentioning we had a trailer and needed room for parking. Upon entering the Santa Fe Boxcar - it was perfect! It had everything we needed - love the history and uniqueness of the Boxcar! Thank you, and we hope to return when in the Kansas area again!

Summary: How many can say they have slept in a boxcar besides the hobos of yore? This is a fun, fully equipped boxcar with all the amenities you could want. It has nice, personal touches and inspirational sayings to get your day off to a good start. We did not do any cooking, but there was a hot plate and microwave if we had wanted to.
