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

This is somewhat of a mixed review. The charm of the box car, the look the feel the uniqueness was wonderful. Would be an awesome place to take a couple grandchildren for a day. We went for an adult birthday trip. Communication was not what I wished for. Was looking for input about things to do and where to eat, I got one suggestion. Sell your community and people will come. Was also looking for my check-in information and did not receive it until 3:50 in the afternoon after I contacted them about when I would receive it. The only information we were given about the heat in the unit was a combination window unit. The window unit is not adequate to keep the box car comfortable in temperatures below 30F. I did find two extra heaters that were not mentioned and was able to keep the car somewhat comfortable. Other suggestions would be to have different kinds of coffee and to ensure that there was plenty of sugar and cream available for those coffees. We had three creamers and one packet of sugar. I was able to find more creamers in a drawer, but was not able to locate more sugar. I can understand the concept of being off the grid as far as Internet/no TV and after looking at the ad for the unit, realize now that there was no mention of Wi-Fi. We were looking for things to do in Hutch and since you’re in a metal box car, you also do not get cellular signal. If it is your intent to have people off grid, it might be better to mention that a little bit more in your description.

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!
