My family had a great time staying in the Aoudad cabin. It was very clean. The host was wonderful and always answered any questions I had right away. The cabin was very comfortable and decorated very cute. The outside was beautiful. There were flowers outside of our cabin and butterflies all around it. It looked like a fairy garden. There were also Longhorns right outside of the cabin. Just up the road from Palo Duro Canyon State Park. It was a great place to stay!

The host was very helpful with all questions. Which I did not have many, as she was wonderful at anticipating and answering before being asked. Her direction was followed by pictures. So very easy to find. The cabin was spotless, very comfortable. The grounds are very well kept, with tons of outdoor games throughout. All in all very pleasant stay

Cabin is only 1.5 miles from Palo Duro Park entrance. It was nice to take a shower after a long day of hiking and get good sleep for the next day. Easy to return to the park for sunset views.

Perfect location if your plans include multiple visits to Palo Duro Canyon. This location includes the perfect sunrise viewing location right from the porch!! It also includes the Sad Monkey right next door where they have a food counter, lite grocery items, drinks, etc. You just don't have to venture far off to have your needs met when staying in this cabin. Would definately recommend.

The Cabin was charming, clean and a very good value. The wide long ranch land view out back was lovely, but was marred by the neighbor’s in-your-face caved in shed and cow manure that produced flies.
