This is our second time staying here, and it was as great as the first time. The three units work great together for a big group. Our group had two families and several kids of all ages. The tunnels were fun for kids big and small. It’s so close to the entrance of Palo Duro Canyon! The host is excellent with communication. 100% recommend.

Loved our stay here! Perfect location for going into the canyon or sitting around and visiting family. We reserved the Prairie Sky for our own family and then 4 other cabins for siblings and their families. Enjoyed the longhorn cattle too that greeted us up close. Had a perfect time together!

Perfect Family Get-together Location

We were so fortunate to find Prairie Sky! Tracy and her family are excellent renters! The cabin was beyond perfect! We had three families and my mom all together for a wedding in Palo Duro Canyon. Each family had a private area and we had a beautiful patio to get together with our friends in the evening. I highly recommend any of Tracy's properties.

The FUN House!

We kept saying, “this place is amazing!” There were two of us families staying with 7 kids total. They had so much fun playing in the tunnels. The rooms were perfect for us. Beds were comfortable. Temperature was great. Check in and check out process was a breeze. We WILL be back! Thank you!

Cozy, clean & comfortable. Our family thoroughly enjoyed everything about our stay. Don’t let the close proximity to the road sway your decision on staying at these quaint, quiet cabins. Our family rented the big house and the tunnels are fun. Games and private courtyards for each cabin. We loved it. Host was prompt on emails and was so kind. We will be back.

My family had a great stay! The kids absolutely loved the tunnels. We rented all three cabins which made it very roomy and cozy for the size of our group. The proximity to the canyon was such a convenient. Tracy was quick responding to and great with answering all my questions and meeting our needs. The only thing to note is that there’s no oven/stove or washing machine/dryer in the cabins. There are hot plates available for cooking though. If you are prepared for that, your stay will be wonderful. We would definitely rent again!
