Kevin’s birthday

I surprised my husband with a trip to the canyon. I rented the Tiny cabin but the pipes froze so we were upgraded to Longhorn which was AMAZING-so much so that we stayed an extra night! We will return!

Love this property. The Roadrunner cabin is small, but just fine for a couple and there’s an upper bunk if you have a child or 3rd person. There is an outdoor area with picnic table and grill. Very close to the beautiful Palo Duro State Park, and the Sad Monkey mercantile about a 1/4 mile away has beer, wine, groceries some good sandwiches, pizza, and a food truck outside with more options like burgers. Great communication with the host, easy check in.

Great location and cozy cabin!

This cabin is in a great location and my child and I had everything we needed to feel cozy. The cabin is comfortable and very close to Palo Duro Canyon State Park. I appreciated the contactless entry though it took me a moment to get it to open and see the key. I appreciated the WiFi as I couldn't get a signal in the area otherwise.

Quaint and tiny...

Ww were on a 5-6 week road trip and the tiny unit didn't accommodate all the luggage. Overall it was good, was just missing a toaster.

Easy access to park

Everything was clean and tidy. Parking was good. Liked the keypad to get in the door. Was a little concerned that cabin was so close to the road but honestly didn’t hear any traffic noise. Was surprised how much equipment was packed away in the kitchenette. Having the coffee provided for the coffee maker was a nice amenity. 2 minor criticisms: the blind on the door was broken at the bottom so didn’t cover the window-given the size of the cabin sort of compromised privacy; and again for the size of the cabin, 2 TVs seemed like overkill and the one mounted on the bunk bed was sort of in the way. The cabin is located just 1.5.miles from the entrance to the park which made access super quick and easy.

We booked the place for two nights, as an option since it's the only way my husband and son can convince me to go camping. My own place to get cleaned up (I am not a big fan of communal shower). The place was perfect for us, clean and cozy. Just outside of the park. And it's perfect in case it gets too cold in the night. All planned well. We would have loved to stay there on our second night. The wind was just crazy. There was dangerous high winds warning (gusts up to 70 mph). We were down in the canyons and the tent wouldn't hold up. It's even more dangerous to drive up, so we ended up camping in the car. But all is well and we were safe. It was an adventure.
