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.

Lovely, unique stay in Canyon
We wanted a unique place to stay away from Amarillo and closer to Palo Duro. Becky's El Capitan renovated train car delivered! Becky was great with communication and directions. Renovated train car offered enough room for family of 3 (queen bed and fold-out couch), kitchenette with frig, microwave, and coffee maker. Just 15 minutes to Palo Duro. If you’re looking for a relaxing stay with a lovely host and in a quiet area, El Capitan is the place!

There was a misunderstanding about the pet deposit. VRBO did not apply deposit amount to total. This was a problem that was resolved. Other than that odd interaction, the stay was great.

Beautiful Secluded Area.
My wife and I were up here to visit Palo Duro Canyon, and wanted somewhere quiet and peaceful. My father used to collect model trains - so the idea of staying in a retired box car caught my eye. Located on the owners property outside of Canyon - this was a great location. The host was communicative, and the property was well stocked and comfortable. It was nice knowing the host was right there if we needed anything, but we were far enough away for ample privacy. Located minutes away from the state park, Canyon, and the highway up to Abilene it was very convenient. We were not a fan of the skylight right above our heads in the bedroom - especially in the morning - so just be aware - they currently cannot be blocked. Not a negative - but something to know. Really enjoyed our time here - great place, great hosts.
