The HIdeout at Palo Duro Canyon - Rider’s Roost

RARE FIND AT PALO DURO CANYON! Rider’s Roost at The Hideout at Palo Duro Canyon offers guests over 6 acres of peace and quietude, yet the convenience of being right next to the state park, zip line, Jeeping tours and horseback riding. You don’t want to miss out on this gem which has quickly become a destination on most travelers’ bucket list.
There are two cabins on our sprawling 6.5 acres ( See also the Hideout at Palo Duro Canyon- Buffalo Lodge, which sleeps an additional 4 guests). A bottle of wine awaits, so you can relax and unwind!

NOTE: This rental is not suitable for children under age 12.

We are family owned, with no corporate marketing tools to lure you in. Just simple Texas hospitality at it’s finest! We offer our guests the opportunity to travel back in time to the true spirit of the old west, complete with horses, a wild-eyed goat, and our rooster, Nigel.

We are closer to the state park than any other vacation rentals, truly! The floor plan is spacious with comfortable beds (no sofa beds to pull out), and no crowding. There are two dining tables, one inside and another on the screened in porch, so you can enjoy your BBQ on the screened porch. We also offer a 2-car carport, as Texas panhandle weather can be unpredictable with hail storms in the summer and ice storms in the winter!

Built within a horse stable, the upstairs has a 700 square foot room with 2 queen beds (2 additional roll away beds available upon request), and a large living area with sofa, two recliners, a 46 inch Smart TV, and Netflix. Downstairs enjoy a 150 square foot saloon style kitchenette furnished with a table that seats 4, a microwave, coffee pot, egg cooker, microwave bacon tray, crockpot, toaster, small sink and mini fridge. Open the double French doors to a 24x14 deck with fire pit, camper cook stove, gliding sofa, two rocking chairs, cooler, BBQ grill and large dining table. There is also a full bathroom with a large walk-in shower.

Notice:
This is a horse stable on a small farm. Farm animals make funny sounds, smell bad and have sex outdoors. Unless you can tolerate noise, odors and outdoor sex, this rental may not be for you.

You will love watching birds and local wildlife here at the Hideout. You may see songbirds, hawks, great horned owls, road runners, quail, deer, aoudads, feral hogs, bobcats, fox, and be serenaded by coyotes. Stunning sunrises and sunsets are included!

If you're in the mood to explore, Palo Duro Canyon State Park is right there, and the entrance to this “Grand Canyon of Texas" is just a mile further up the road. Visitors explore by car, hiking, horseback, and bike (best mountain biking around). Right by the Park are Palo Duro Zip Line Adventures, Palo Duro Creek Ranch Jeeping tours, and Palo Duro Riding Stables. The musical drama TEXAS shows in the park’s outdoor amphitheater June through mid-August and is a must see! Let us know if we can assist you with planning any of these activities. We’re here to help and want your stay to be enjoyable and memorable.

It’s about a fifteen minute jaunt to the city of Canyon where you’ll find the Panhandle Plains Historical Museum (the largest historical museum in the state of Texas). For restaurants, shopping, nightlife and live music, it’s about a half hour to Amarillo. Find cultural and sporting events, the famous Old Route 66, and the Cadillac Ranch (don’t forget to bring a can of spray paint). If you prefer to dine in Canyon, there are several great restaurants on the town square, such as Canyon Ranch Steak House, Sayakamaryns and Palace Coffee. Bar Z Winery and Creek House Honey Farm are also near by.

Additional services include concierge, and equestrian visitors. Fees for additional services vary, so contact us about your needs.
