The Perfect Cozy Cottage

We were blessed to rent this property for a weekend of horseback riding at Palo Duro Riding Stables and the hot tub was put to good use afterwards. Restaurants and stores very close by. Amenities were top notch! We will be back!

Cozy home away from home

Everything about this property was fantastic! Amy was so welcoming and she has done a fantastic job making the cottage a cozy welcoming place. We enjoyed a bottle of wine in the lovely backyard gazebo. Definitely rates as one of the best VRBO properties we’ve experienced!

Fantastic!!

This was our second visit to this amazing cottage. Last year, we stayed here for a relaxing weekend after our wedding. This year, we choose to stay here again for our one year anniversary! This house is so cute and comfy, adorable finishing touches all around the home. We looooove the hot tub and the gorgeous lights and landscaping in the back yard. One of our favorite little retreats :) Amy is always so kind in her messages too! She’s great to communicate with and leaves us the sweetest notes before we check in.

Adorable, cozy, just what we needed

We (2 adults, 3 kids) thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Cottage Guest Home! You can tell that Amy has put a lot of love into creating this cozy space. Everything was very clean. I especially loved the large dining area and comfortable seating in the living room. My husband and I enjoyed the hot tub after a long day hiking at Palo Duro Canyon. The cottage was conveniently located near restaurants (we loved Pepitos & Feldman's Wrong Way Diner) and a grocery store. Amy was quick to respond and very helpful. Can't recommend The Cottage Guest Home enough!

Lovely home near Palo Canyon Park.

This is a lovely, classy cottage near the park, and the university. It is a 2 bedroom with a very well stocked kitchen. The backyard hot tub was clean and great for an evening soak. It is a quiet neiborhood. A great stay, just 2 things to be aware of. The shower is self enclosed, so fine..unless you are over 6' 2. There is plenty of space to park in front of the house, but there is no dedicated off street parking, no driveway.

Superb!

We had a wonderful stay at The Cottage! Amy thought of everything. We had some family come and visit us one evening for a cookout and the kids had a wonderful time playing in the backyard. The house was very clean and well stocked. The attention to detail was great. If we make our way to Canyon again, we will book this house again. The house was close to EVERYTHING!

A Visit to Palo Duro in Canyon

Canyon was a very cute little town that we were not expecting on our visit to Palo Duro Canyon SP. The Cottage was extremely charming, clean, and exceeded our expectations. The owners thought of everything someone might need and it was available. Beds were comfy and the furniture was comfy too - so many times you find these VRBOs with WayFair generic modern furniture which is too small and too hard to actually be comfortable even though its cute in photos. This home was a real home with soft cozy features and delightful charm. Loved all the toys for the backyard the owners had on hand and the neighbor cat wandered over to say hello as we sipped coffee in the AM and listened to the doves coo. A great place to come back to after hiking in the heat of the canyon. Owner instructions for check in and check out were super simple and they were easily available by text throughout the visit. Highly recommend The Cottage in Canyon for a visit.

The Cottage is a beautiful home and Amy is the best communicator. We checked in late at night and she made the process very easy. The house is in walking distance of many restaurants, just one block away from Best Thai (highly recommend it). We’ll stay here again!

Cutest lil cottage!!!

My husband and I stayed here for a mini-honeymoon weekend getaway after our wedding. This home is so cute, comfy, and perfect!!!!! The little details, the signs, everything is amazing. We loved the comfy couch for tv time, the hot tub is fantastic, and the backyard gazebo seating area was so cozy. The bed was super comfy, my hubby loved the pillows! We will absolutely be back. Oh and Amy was wonderful to chat with during our stay! Very responsive and sweet. We couldn’t have had a better visit!

About the host

Hosted by Amy Powell

Host profile image
I grew up in Canyon, TX, where The Cottage is located. I have loved this house ever since a friend's family rented it a short time while we were in high school. I never dreamed that one day, I would own it and rent it as well! Our family bought it in 2006 and it became my home until last year when my husband and I got married. I couldn't bring myself to part with the house and so once again it has become a vacation rental. In the years I have had it, we have replaced the windows, gutted and remodeled the kitchen, scraped popcorn off of ceilings, and a 100 other things that have made it like it is today.

Why they chose this property

This property is so special because after having had it for several years, I have been able to really fine tune all the details of the house to make it very comfortable for guests. I've made it exactly how I would want to find a vacation rental with special touches, attention to detail and lots of fun amenities.

What makes this property unique

The Cottage has so many wonderful features. The front porch with a swing is a nice place to relax, while still seeing people go to and fro. The backyard has privacy, a hot tub, a gazebo covered patio, hammock, bikes, and outdoor games. Inside, you will find basic toiletries like you would in a hotel, robes, a Keurig coffee maker, a game closet, a DVD collection, cable, internet and plenty of space for making yourself right at home. It has cottage style decor, that might even give you a few ideas for your own home!
