It’s a lovely space. Like the outdoor games! It would have been nice if the cabin had screens ( to take advantage of fresh air).

I would definitely stay at a cabin here again the next time I come to Palo Duro. The Roadrunner cabin was the exact size and amenities we needed for a short weekend stay. It was clean and quiet. Easy check-in. Great location next to the State Park. Adorable property.

The tiny cabin was just what I was looking for--a comfortable place to sleep right by Palo Duro State Park, literally 2 miles up the road. It was tiny, but everything was there that I needed.

Great little tiny cabin for a short little getaway!

Being a mile and a half away from the state park and other things to do around the canyon was very convenient. My husband and I enjoyed our stay very much.
