    Back to the 30s

    This old 30s house is a nice place to stay with pets. Our dogs loved running through the backyard. The property is clean and well kept.

    Great place for folks visiting Palo Duro with a dog

    This place is located in a little neighborhood near to anything one might need during a stay. We used the place as a jumping off point for a few days of Palo Duro exploration. Our husky approved of the yard. I thought the place was charming.

    Peaceful Stay

    We came to town to visit family for Thanksgiving and stayed in this charming home with our 2 kids and small pup. The house was a lovely little place where our family could recharge at the end of the day and enjoy some down time. Love the decor and the little framed explanation about Shotgun Houses. :)

    My favorite place!

    I somehow always mess things up when I book but the women who owns this place is very nice and understanding. I sleep the best here then any hotel. It’s by far my favorite little house! I’ll be back to this area in a year and I’ll book again without question. Hopefully this time I don’t mess up the booking lol

    Great cozy spot

    The house worked great for our trip. The yard was big and the neighborhood was quiet. I was surprised how low the ceiling was, my husband is 6’5 and he had maybe an inch or two- tall people be careful 😁 very comfy bed and close to the canyon and Amarillo. Will stay again.

    Just what we needed and what was expected

    Everything was exactly as expected. We were in Canyon to help our newlyweds (sonand daughter-in-law) move into their apartment to start the new school year. We wanted to have a place that would take our dog and allow us to give the kids time to themselves. The location was excellent. AND everything in the home actually worked! We definitely highly recommend this Casita if you are looking for a comfortable, affordable place to explore the area or just relax and hang out..

    Great little house.

    We canceled our camp site due to unpredictable weather and were so happy to find this rental. All essentials were in order, clean, comfortable bed, essential dishes and supplies, sufficient outlets, heaters. The fire pit and fenced yard were wonderful. We are a close family of three and so the layout didn’t bother us, be sure to understand that, not only are there no doors, the bathroom and kitchen are accessed by walking through the main bedroom. This casita was a great find and we will absolutely stay here again.

    Everything was just perfect. I came for school from NY and was really nervous about being in Texas for my first time. This was the perfect set up for me. Quiet, Safe, and Calm. You are surrounded by a school at one end and a church at the other. The place it’s self couldn’t have been more perfect
