Aoudad

The cabin was very roomy, furnished nicely and was very comfortable. Location was excellent. Could have been a little cleaner and the Cedar trees blocked the early morning sunrise. We enjoyed our stay, especially the Longhorns bedding down each night just outside the fence.

If you're looking for simple, affordable, and convenient to the canyon it's a great place. Nice layout on the outside. There's a bunch of games around the place. It's right next door to a really neat little gift shop and convenience store.

The perfect getaway

This property couldn’t have been better in my opinion. My daughter loved the loft, my dad slept on the futon, and my husband and I took the bed. Plenty of blankets and towels, the host was great with communication and made checkin a breeze. Absolutely pleased with our stay and highly recommend. You’re located very close to the canyon and just a short drive from town, very quiet property and really enjoyed watching the sunrise from our deck every morning.

Perfect

Loved the location close to the Palo Duro Canyon state park so we could see the canyon, the Texas! musical and do some horse back riding. owner was helpful in recommending a local stable right down the road. the location is great, the cabin (Auodad) was nice and roomy for me and my son. I would recommend adding some serving bowls in the kitchen. wasn't really anything to mix my salad in...used a stove pot. Appreciated the snacks! Wished I could have stayed one more day.

Perfect spot to access Palo Duro Canyon

The cabin was perfect for my small family of 3. The loft was a good spot for my 19 year old son. The kitchen & grill were perfect for us to bring food to prepare as I knew ahead that there was a microwave, fridge & grill. Beautiful views from the deck of Canyon in the distance a mile away. I liked the owners laid back attitude about us not having to take out trash before we left. Most places these days charge a lot & expect you to do so much. I did leave the kitchen as we found it except for taking the trash out! The people before us must have failed to clean the coffee pot so that was unfortunate to have to do that before making our morning coffee. No big deal and everything else was great!

This property was an excellent choice due to location to Palo Duro, ease of access, and the proximity to a "restaurant" that offered food and some groceries.The cabin itself was as clean, even with the abundance of grasshoppers and flies that tried to get inside each time you opened the door. The only real inconvenience was that the air conditioner in the bedroom was very, very loud. We instead had it on to cool off the bedroom before bed, then turned it off when we went to bed, but we turned the air conditioner on in the main area of the house to keep some cold air in the cabin. This did work out well for us.Everything was in good order, and the bed was comfortable enough to help us get some sleep before another day of hiking the canyon.We really loved seeing the sunrise from the fence in front of our cabin, and the surprise of the 8 or so cattle that just walked around the property next door. The cattle came so close to the fence that I could have reached out to touch the horn of one of them! It was so amazing to see them so close!There were some games set up around the cabins, such as Bags and Tether Ball. I had never played Tether Ball, and I have come to the realization that I am not good at it, but my husband definitely laughed a lot watching me try to play!If we ever find ourselves out in the Palo Duro area again, I would definitely consider staying in this cabin again. It was exactly what we had hoped for.
