About this campground/ rv resort rental

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!

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!

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.
