I'm an east coast girl living in a west coast world. I grew up in New England before moving to SoCal for several years. I then lived in NYC or a year before moving to AZ in 2009. I worked in the entertainment industry for many years of my adult life and have a deep love for photography, writing, and traveling around the U.S. as well as to far-flung locations around the world. Travel is my life and writing about it is a dream!

With all the incredible accommodations you can find around the Land of Enchantment, we seem to be able to find even more. From a Chimayo Village Adobe Casita to a glamping dome atop a mountain, there are so many unique accommodations for an unforgettable stay. Did you know you can also spend the night in a train car Airbnb in New Mexico? Check out this amazing accommodation then hop on over to Airbnb to book your getaway.
Set along Sante Fe County Road in the town of Lamy is a small Amtrak Station, and next to the station is a remarkable train car Airbnb. Perhaps you can take a scenic train ride to Lamy before checking into this unique accommodation.
Amtrak makes two stops daily at the Lamy train station, so keep that in mind if you decide to take the train from Satna Fe to this tiny village. Santa Fe is only 20 minutes away. However, the Sante Fe Sky Railway offers rides between Santa Fe and Lamy which may be the best way to get to town.
The Hamilton in Lamy is a one-of-a-kind Airbnb that you will absolutely love. This historic 1920s Pullman train car was once a 10-berth sleeper car and it has been transformed into a well-equipped hotel room on wheels. It will provide one of the most memorable getaway experiences you could have.
The Hamilton is located in a park next to the Lamy Train Station.

The Hamilton has maintained much of the historic charms of the original Pullman train car. But while it seems like a step back in time in some ways, it offers many of the modern conveniences that will make you want for nothing.
Guests of this gorgeous train car can enjoy many modern amenities including Wifi, air conditioning, a fire pit, and a TV, just to name a few. There is also a fully-equipped kitchen where you can cook your own meals and a living room with a pull-out sofa for extra sleeping room.
The Hamilton has three bedrooms total and can accommodate up to seven guests. There are also three bathrooms on this train. It's the perfect place to stay for a large family or a group of friends!
