Great home base for exploring Palo Duro Canyon!

Glenda's Downtown Bungalow was a spacious, spotless, and tastefully-furnished home base for exploring Palo Duro Canyon. Well-equipped kitchen and laundry, master bedroom had a comfortable king-size bed, and the blackout shades worked beautifully keeping out the bright morning light. Jack-and-Jill bathroom had a nice shower flow with quick hot water and soft, luxurious towels. Thoughtful touches like a packet of microwave popcorn, makeup removal pads, a container supplied with lint roller, toothbrushes, toothpaste, flossers, Q-tips, & sewing kit. Possible necessities like an umbrella and flashlight. Even a French Press and an electric kettle! The only suggestion I would have is to replace the scratched nonstick pots and pans. But the place was just wonderful and in a quiet neighborhood. We appreciated the lovely, well-kept yard with shade trees and raised flower beds. A very comfortable and relaxing space. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Fantastic! Oasis after a long day of hiking

Thank for providing a beautiful oasis for us. This bungalow is impeccable and so well done. We spent the day hiking in Palo Duro, just a few minutes up the road, and loved coming “home” to this comfortable, clean, gorgeously decorated, home. I can’t say enough about how enjoyable our stay was. If you are in this area, this is a must stay. I will be.

Cute & Roomy Home in Downtown Canyon

My family could not get over how cute this house was! It looks small on the outside, but it is SO spacious on the inside. The home is exactly as it looks in the pictures, but honestly i feel like it is so much cuter in person. There's lots of natural light that comes in the home to make it nice and bright. The house is right in downtown, but it is a quiet neighborhood. The owner was very communicative leading up to, during, and after our stay. The fence looks brand new and she has a low maintenance yard which is great, especially for pets. There's a special pet blanket to use if you bring your furry friend. The house was so clean you wouldnt be able to tell it is a pet friendly home, which is fantastic! You can tell a lot of thought went into decorating each room. I highly recommend this place! Thank you again for hosting us!

**Amazing Stay with Thoughtful Touches!**

We had the most wonderful experience staying at this property! From the moment we walked in, it was clear how much thought and care went into making it feel like a true home away from home. The Christmas decorations were absolutely charming and created such a festive and cozy atmosphere. The hosts went above and beyond with little touches like hot chocolate and popcorn waiting for us. Every detail, from the beautifully decorated space to the well-stocked kitchen, made our stay perfect. Excellent location for us to explore Palo Duro Canyon. We highly recommend this property and can’t wait to come back for another relaxing getaway. Thank you for making our trip so memorable! ---

We have stayed at many VRBOs and this one has been our favorite so far! The neighborhood is quiet, off street parking is available. It's decorated super cute! The bed was comfortable, the living area so comfortable our daughter fell asleep on the couch. ❤️ I truly hope it's available when we comeback.

Comfort!

Perfect setting (we loved the house and yard and neighborhood immediately). The inside was just as satisfying to enter and within a short span, we were relaxed on the couch. What a great location! Our walks took us downtown and through some neighborhoods and we enjoyed three of three local restaurants.

Adorable and perfectly located

We had three adults and a dog. It’s such a cute house, well appointed and very dog friendly! It was quite clean, but as a dog-friendly house, do not expect it to be dog-hair free - that’s just impossible! The owner provides dog blankets to cover furniture which is very helpful. It’s in walking distance to the square with several shops, a used bookstore, a coffee shop and a few restaurants. Love the walkability! 0 negatives. Glenda, the host, is lovely and takes great pride in and care of the property! I would recommend or stay here again in a heartbeat! Thanks for a wonderful stay!!

Host profile image
Hi, I am Glenda. My husband Wayne and I have lived in the great town of Canyon for 58 years. We are entrepreneurs of sorts having owned rental property, laundromats, a women's boutique, and a water business. We have even tried our hand at raising ostrich.
I am pretty handy with tools and love remodeling and decorating. I keep the books on all our ongoing businesses and really love that also.
I landscaped our home and all our properties and really enjoy the physical work associated with that.
I am excited about this vacation rental business because I get to do all the things that I love doing while making extra money.

Why they chose this property

This bungalow is part of the original town of Canyon. It sits on a beautiful corner lot one block from downtown. The neighborhood is quiet -family homes and duplexes. Trees surround this property making it a shade oasis in the summer.
Because it is so near to downtown, you can walk to all the restaurants and shopping surrounding the historic courthouse.
We have paid attention to every detail in decor and amenities including luxury beds. fluffy white towels, a 60 inch smart tv and very comfortable seating.
If you book here, you will be a repeat client for sure.

What makes this property unique

Attention to detail in decor and amenities. Walking distance to downtown for local shopping and several wonderful restaurants.
