Getting back to nature is what this property promises. Offering wildlife, foliage, and dark skies with numerous stars. Located between Amarillo and Palo Duro Canyon about a 20-30 minute drive to everything The hosts are fantastic, attentive and respond promptly to requests. We plan on returning soon.

Perfect for a family get away

Wonderful property! Clean, spacious, and everything was labeled (no searching for which light switch did what) The neighborhood was so charming and unexpected! My children had a wonderful time feeding the deer and soaking in the hot tub and they loved the round shape of the house and the thoughtful snacks. My husband and I enjoyed using the grill and also the hot tub! The host was very kind and friendly. This is the best and least stressful way to do a family vacation!

Lovely!

This house is a lovely place to stay. The area is gorgeous- it’s at the edge of Palo Duro so there are rocky areas and hills. The home is generously appointed with everything you need for your stay. It is spotless and tidy. A sweet welcome basket full of snacks was a nice touch. The hot tub out back was relaxing. Take a deer cookie with you because you may get a visitor! My Girl Scout troop had a wonderful stay! Do not hesitate to book this location!

The host was accessible if needed but respectful of our privacy. The property feels secluded. There are deer that eat out of your hand. We had bunnies, a turkey and a fox pass thru on our stay. We always felt safe and loved the atmosphere. The home was clean and comfortable. We had everything we needed for a 4 day stay. There are lots of things to do within a 20 minute drive including Palo Duro Canyon, which was our main reason for being there.

Perfect location to Palo Duro Canyon

A nice clean home that had everything we needed. Including a basket of snacks and deer treats. Owner lives near by. He is very friendly and attentive. A little too much for me. Cameras are not positioned as stated online. This, along with twice daily visits for maintenance by the owner gave me a bad vibe. A sense that we were being watched.

Great stay!

This is an unusual find. It suited our needs perfectly. The owners are extremely attentive and the home has so many details that set it apart from many vacation rentals. The “pet” deer are so fun! We brought our kayaks and had access to excellent water. We enjoyed the wildlife and hot tub each evening. The home is set back for privacy and the gated community felt safe. Highly recommend!
