Wedding Weekend Stay

The Cottonwood was perfect for our son and his groomsmen. The cabin is spacious and was extremely comfortable for everyone. The proximity to Sad Monkey and the Mack Dick Pavilion was perfect as well. Tracy and her family are some of the best people we have rented from and we would readily do it again!

Pictures dont do it justice

That was an awesome property, from communication with the owners to the comfortable beds. My family and myself really enjoyed our stay and the close proximity to the Park was sure a plus.

Good clean fun

The cabins were very clean and spacious. We enjoyed barbecuing on the porch and the views. The kids really liked the loft with the fun stairs and “secret” passageway. :)

Cozy cabin within minutes of Palo Duro Canyon

The cabins were clean, cozy and had everything we needed for our trip. The cabin is less than 2 minutes from the Canyon entrance. We enjoyed watching the longhorns and the Aoudad sheep from the porch while rocking in the rocking chairs. There is a brand new little shop next door that has some neat gifts, snacks and coffee (Sad Monkey Mercantile). We enjoyed our stay and will stay here on our next trip to Palo Duro.
