About this property

The Coyote Cabin at Palo Duro

The Coyote is a small cabin, approximately 12’ x 12’ on the inside, with a covered front porch and an extended side deck with a view east towards Palo Duro Canyon.

Designed for just two guests, it offers more open space inside than our other tiny cabin, the Roadrunner. It is furnished with a queen bed, table and chairs, a bathroom with shower and toilet, a kitchenette with a mini-fridge, sink, microwave, coffeemaker, and an outdoor area with gas grill (we provide the propane). There is a Roku TV. It has a window A/C unit and a panel wall heater.

---------------
Please note: This is one of multiple vacation rentals on our property. While there are other cabins on the property, each rental is separate with no shared spaces.

Perfect for our one night stay! Loved the location could not have been more ideal. Our one year old was absolutely thrilled when he saw the long horn eating literally right of the deck. Would definitely stay here again on a family trip.

The cabin was perfect! It was 1.5 miles from the entrance to Palo Duro Canyon, and a minute from the Sad Monkey Mercantile which has great coffee! The cabin has a great porch that overlooked a field with several longhorns! There is a nice outdoor eating area and a front sitting area.We will definitely request to stay should we return to the area!

Everything was as advertised. Host was friendly. The place was clean. The only negative was the Roku kept going off. We finally had to give up trying to watch tv.

The cabin was tiny, adorable and very clean. The parking area is clearly marked and organized. The cabin also has 3 outdoor seating options. The proximity to Palo Duro Canyon can't be beat. The cabin is also well equipped with a tiny coffee maker, microwave and fridge. Bed, pillows, linens and towels were good quality and in good shape. The host left a few snacks out. The TV pulls in some streaming services. There is a binder of reference information for the area. Be sure to store your food and scented toiletries like toothpaste in the fridge. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others.

As we walked up to the door, we noticed a cleaning brush on the floor in front of the door. There were cleaning products on the counter top and a broom and mop leaning against the wall. There was a candy wrapper on the floor. We understand that the cabin was small, but we were unable to bring two suitcases in because there was no room. The location, however, is exceptional.

Cozy and Close to Palo Duro

This was the perfect spot if you're looking for a cozy place close to Palo Duro Canyon (only a minute or so away). It was very clean, and the outdoor space was lovely. We will certainly stay here the next time we visit.

Perfect Stay near Palo Duro Canyon

The cabin was overall a great place to be. We mainly stayed to be close to Palo Duro Canyon and it was only a short 5 minute drive away. It felt great to enjoy the cabin after a hike and grill outside.

1.5 miles from the entry to Palo Duro CanyonPark entrance. Delightfully quiet. Comfortable, safe. Owners communicated with me promptly and completely. No confusion with which cabin it was, nor how to get in. Small, but good for 2 folks. Clean.
