Everything was so easy and the property description is very true. In fact, it was even more perfect than we had expected! The owner was great with a couple of questions we had before arrival and made it clear she would be available if we needed anything.
Wonderful 3-night stay at the Spicer Bunkhouse! Peaceful country setting with horses and donkeys, yet minutes from Palo Duro Canyon. The Western decor was charming and cozy, and Becky thought of everything. Her attention to detail made our anniversary extra special. A perfect mix of comfort, charm, and convenience. Can’t wait to come back—thank you, Becky!
We loved our stay here. We were visiting from another part of Texas, and I think this home would give folks from out of state a great taste of authentic West Texas. The home feels like you're staying at a friend's house. It's very well furnished and includes lots of personal touches like family history and photos, beautiful artwork, and heirloom pieces without feeling fussy. The beds were comfortable, the water was hot, snacks were waiting for us in the kitchen, and the family animals on property were excellent greeters. If you're traveling with someone with mobility issues, I think the only thing to be aware of is that there are steps from the driveway to the main door, there's a step down from the main living area to the bedroom area, and there's a small step into the shower in the main bathroom. This place was beautiful, thoughtfully done, and a real pleasure. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.
Our family enjoyed a great stay. Becky was a very good host with all amenities as described plus some extra touches. Peaceful spot outside of town. We will likely be visit again.
Wonderful stay near the Palo Duro Canyon State Park. Idyllic property, with a quiet modernized casita on an active horse farm. Becky, the owner, is most attentive and the home was well stocked with every creature comfort with a well stocked cooks kitchen (plus snacks, coffee and tea), comfortable couches and beds, and even warm blankets and candles. The family has a long history with horses, and the home reflects it in the photos, books and vintage decor. There is a porch on two sides with plenty of chairs for sitting and greeting the on site dogs and watching the beautiful horses in the Texas breeze. Relaxing, comfortable, close to town and the canyon. Perfection!
We really enjoyed our stay over Thanksgiving! Becky was a perfect host and her bunkhouse is amazing! It is stocked with everything you need and is a short drive to Palo Duro State Park. We had a great time just hanging at the bunkhouse, playing games, enjoying the view of the horses and getting visits from her cute dogs. Thanks for having us Becky!
What a lovely time we had! We have stayed at vacation rentals all over the world, but this was a standout. Becky was a charming and wonderful host, and it truly felt like staying with a friend. The house and property are gorgeous too. Highly recommend!
We had a great stay at the Spicer Bunkhouse in Canyon TX. Wonderful grounds with Horses and Donkeys to visit !! The house was clean and had everything we needed. Becky even left us a personalized card and treats to welcome us. Thanks so much for sharing your home !
Thanks, Bill, Jamie and Dave
Becky was a wonderful host! She had the cabin ready for us with snacks and toiletries! She even had my favorite artist streaming on the TV when we arrived and the cabin was decorated so cute! We fell in love with it immediately! Definitely recommend a stay here if you come to visit Palo Duro Canyon!
Really nice and uniquely styled homestead. Just on the outskirts of town so plenty of openness and quiet to relax inside or out on the big porch. Becky was very accommodating and nice to chat with. Enjoyed all the animals.
Excellent time and experience staying at Becky’s ranch home getaway. Becky was an excellent host. The house is very beautiful with all the amenities. Just minutes from Palo Duro Canyon.
This VRBO experience was AMAZING! The house is stunning and the view is beautiful. Becky is extremely hospitable and makes you feel right at home. We would like to come back again!
We loved staying at the Spicer Bunkhouse! It was the perfect place for a getaway. Welcoming, peaceful and relaxing. Loved watching all of the animals and playing with the dogs. Becky was a wonderful host! She made our stay perfect. The location was great and made for a short drive to Palo Duro Canyon, the town of Canyon and Amarillo. This is a great place to stay!
This is just not a place to stay this is a place to make memories
I have travelled a lot for work, and have stayed in many hotels and short term rentals. This place is unique, it really is an experience more than a stay. The communication and hospitality of the owner are far and above to your typical hosts. One truly feels at home at the Spicer Bunk House.
Such a neat house and property. We enjoyed the decorations and amenities of the house and how welcome we felt. Becky was such a wonderful host, and so welcoming, helpful and thoughtful! We appreciated the basket of goodies and personalized note. Highly recommend the Spicer Bunkhouse!!
This sweet country slice of heaven was just what my Soul needed! From the tub to the beautiful sunsets and animals. And Becky's hospitality is truly unmatched. She puts a lot of care into hosting. I will definitely be going back!
This is the best VRBO rental I have ever stayed in . Clean , beautifully decorated , anything you need and Becky checks in with you to make sure all is well . Very quiet but still a close drive into town and the Palo Duro Canyon . My granddaughter loved petting the horses and dogs . I highly recommend the Spicer Bunkhouse

It was a beautiful property and location. Our host was easy to contact and super friendly.
This property is exactly as advertised. It is a wonderful snug little house that is dog friendly. It is locatd on a ranch and close to Canyon, Texas. Also easy driving distance to Palo Duro Canyon. The views of the wide open fields were amazing. Becky, the owner, was so friendly and welcoming. I can't say enough good about the whole experience.
