About this property

Doves Rest Cabins - Four Gables in the pasture

If you’ve ever wished you could live in a famous painting, here’s your chance! Doves Rest Four Gables Cabin looks like it came straight from Grant Wood’s American Gothic– you know the picture with the couple (and their pitchfork) standing in front of their farmhouse. We’re charmed by the idea to build such a quintessentially American cabin for your enjoyment. Rooms are large and open, especially the arrangement of the kitchen, eating, and living areas making the main floor feel much larger. Big porches front and rear make for great group gatherings. Surrounded by a white picket fence keeps the Texas Longhorn Cattle at bay as you enjoy being front and center on a working cattle ranch.

60th Birthday Celebration
Great home for a family celebration. Perfect for a family ranging in ages from 2yrs old to 80yrs old. Kitchen facilities were exceptional. We LOVED the view and the overall comfort and convenience. Access to the Park was easy and we had a great time hiking various trails.

Why they chose this property

This gorgeous new Two Story Farmhouse has been added to our portfolio for pure romance. It is the perfect home for Couples getaways, large families, celebrations, and more. Situated on the highest point of our Longhorn Cattle ranch this home takes in views of the Palo Duro Canyon State Park from a distance, along with the abundance of wildlife, and our very own Texas Longhorn Cattle roaming the field. The sunsets are just magical from Four Gables.

What makes this property unique

Off the beaten path and outside of mainstream destinations, we’re far from every other place to stay. We deliver an amazing guest experience that is truly authentic Texan, personal, and character-rich. Doves Rest Cabins is truly a unique base camp from which to explore one of the world’s most transformative spot – Palo Duro Canyon State Park.

Doves Rest Cabins is ideal for travelers who believe small is beautiful, and see travel not as something one does, but rather identifies it as part of who one is.

If private and quiet surrounded by nature with friendly wildlife nestled in your own little world only a few minutes away to the second largest canyon in America interests you, then you’re in the right place!
