Cozy Home
Reminded me of home. Cute but lived in. The layout of the home is perfect. Plenty of beds and a private bathroom for everyone. We will try to stay here again.

Canyon Hiking Stay
I enjoyed the house. It was clean and done well. We felt very comfortable there. It was close to the town square which was nice. And only a short drive to Palo Duro Canyon for our hiking. I would definitely stay here again! Thank you.

R&R before battle
Needed a quiet place to rest and get ready for the marathon bike race in PDC. This house was very quiet and accommodating. Comfy beds and furniture. The kitchen almost had everything needed to cook several meals. Would stay here again 👍👍

Close to Palo Duro Canyon
Close to the park and grocery stores. Surprised that there was a Jack n Jill bathroom between the 2 bedrooms- do not remember reading that in the description. House was very warm and toasty - as it got very cold overnight. Would have been nice to have a driveway to pull into instead of parking on the street. This house is on a corner lot. Nice to have large washer and dryer available with liquid detergent and dryer sheets already provided. Water pressure was great and had enough hot water for all 6 of us to take a needed shower after hiking in the park. Sunlight was great in the morning coming thru the living room windows but the lighting in the house was not very bright in the evening. Dishwasher detergent was provided but the top rack of the dishwasher was crooked - we had to be careful how many cups we put on the top rack.
This house fit our needs for the 6 of us- much better than staying in a hotel and we always look for a house for family trips so we can have space to stretch our legs and cook our own food. Loved the hard wood floors!
