Host ,Kelby, was very welcoming, easy to contact and accomodating. House was great if you have toddlers or crawling infants, with only one large level transition in the kitchen area and plenty of roo. For a pack and play or toddler cot in each room. Kitchen was stocked well for cooking simple meals in. Very conveniently located with only 15 minutes from Palo Duro Canyon State Park.

Great location, house is very roomy and perfect for our family. We were visiting to attend a family reunion in the Palo Duro State Park area. The state park is well worth visiting and offers so much; hiking, scenic views, jeep tours, horseback riding. Also, this property is nearby many good restaurants and coffee shops. And, our family enjoyed the Aqua Park swimming pool in the area.

We are a family of six, with four teenagers, and we stayed one night to hike in Palo Duro Canyon on our way to Grand Canyon and Moab, UT. This rental was in a quiet location, and it was clean and updated. We had plenty of room for our family. Great rental, and we would stay here again!
