Plenty of room

The location was perfect, right near Canyon's main streets. Although the bathrooms are a bit odd and dated, the entire place was exceptionally clean and the bedrooms are spacious. There's plenty of room for a family to spread out in this home.

Older house but lots of room and clean

We stayed with 5 adults and there was plenty of room. Nicely appointed with comfy beds. Huge yard. Only issue we had was a clogged toilet that never got serviced. We were told a plumber would be called but never heard back from owner. Would stay again.

Most comfortable home for family

We wish we had longer to stay. Traveling with young adults (grandkids) 17-22 yoa. They loved the outlay of the home with gathering space inside second den and outside picnic tables. The backyard went on forever and my pupp loved chasing the dragon flies. We visited Palo Duro Canyon on way to Colorado Springs.

The Cozy Buffalo

There is a lot of room for everyone for sure! Very close to businesses and for shopping! Our group was very surprised at all the items that were included, including coffee and filters, coffee pods, and even the soap dispensers in the shower with shower gel, shampoo and conditioner (one is a walk in shower) plus some water and snacks. Very convenient location and comfortable.

Comfy 70s throwback

Spacious and homey, with beautiful wood built-ins and lots of character! Nice large backyard for the pups to roam and the cutest dining area ever. We appreciated the gratis coffee bar and snacks. Thanks also for the Wrong Way Diner discount; we took advantage of the free burger and it was delish!
