This is an older large rambling house great for several parties staying together or adults who need some privacy. Very clean & well maintained; large fenced backyard for kids/pets to blow off steam. Host very responsive. Would definitely stay here again if we needed the space.

The house had all we needed for our 3-night stay. There is a lot of square footage in the house and a big back yard. We loved having Direct TV just like home. It's very welcoming to have snacks and bottled water on the coffee table. The washer dryer are new! Because of recent flooding, there was mild musty odor, which is a challenge because Canyon has had so much rain. Therefore to be honest, I rated it 4 stars, otherwise it would be 5!

We stopped over for several days to hike Palo Duro Canyon and we weren't disappointed. The house has more then enough space and a large back yard for my pup to run in. Communication with the owner was as easy as it gets he's very responsive to any questions. If you are looking for a place to stay in Canyon I don't think you will be disappointed if you choose this house.

This house is so huge, it’s hard to explain. Two large comfy living areas accommodate gatherings, while the three bedrooms were more than adequate to house our party of six ladies.

I thought this place was wonderful just by looking at the pictures, but the pictures didn’t tell all! Not only was the communication excellent, but this place is so spacious and amazingly comfortable! Even the backyard is nice and big, with a grill, lights, and 2 picnic tables! The beds are very comfortable and this place has everything I could ask for! The neighborhood is quiet and feels like home too! will definitely be staying here every time I’m in Canyon!!! This is definitely a rare find!!!!!

We arrived at the Cozy Buffalo after we had been in 100 degree heat at Palo Dura Canyon. The house was nice and cool so we really appreciated that! I had already received check in information so getting into the house was a breeze. The house was clean and ready. We had 4 adults and 6 children with us. We put 2 people in one bedroom and 3 (one was a small child) in the bedroom with a king size bed. 4 of us slept in the additional room that is at the back of the house. That room was hard to cool off! We still needed to sleep one more person and finally found the blow-up beds in the floor of a closet. We used one of those beds and put it in the front living room. We found some sheets in another closet that was inside the add-on bedroom at the back of the house. Upon awakening the next morning, the blow-up bed was no longer inflated. Thankfully, the child sleeping on it was a deep sleeper. I did not see another place for a second blow-up bed. The second living area is bright and sunny, but with no curtains it would not work to sleep in there. The beds were comfortable. In the morning we walked a very short distance to a donut shop. We didn’t use the kitchen, only the fridge. The location of this VRBO for activities at WT or in Canyon area is great. I would caution with trying to sleep more than 8.

Our stay may have been a bit short & we may not have been at the house much but while we were there, it was nice! The only cons were the two beds in the very back, those were so uncomfortable but thankfully we didn’t have to use them. The house was very clean, quite neighborhood & nice neighbors! Super convenient to everything we were there to do!

The house is very well situated in Canyon, close to grocery stores, restaurants and an ice cream maker. It is also a short drive to Palo Duro State Park which was the reason our trip. Check in was easy and we had pretty much all we needed to cook. Kelby is a very responsive and helpful host (thank you!). We would definitely come back for a future trip!

Plenty of space for 3 families - 6 adults and 3 kids. Kitchen was well equipped for doing our own cooking. Within walking distance of a very good museum. Close to Palo Duro Canyon State Park. Completely met our needs.

On a lark, we decided to visit Palo Duro Canyon for spring break. With less than 2 weeks to plan, we were searching everywhere for lodging. We lucked out & found this gem! Perfect location- mins to restaurants, the Canyon, grocery store, gas, literally anything you need is within 5 mins - 15 mins of this cottage. It was clean, well laid out, easy to find & super easy to communicate with the owner! Really great experience! Thank you to the owners for sharing this space with us!!!

The property was close to town and was really great. We enjoyed the house and were able to get to a bunch of hiking spots easily.

A cozy house with everything you need, including a shaded driveway, in a nice neighborhood with West Texas A & M a short walk away!

We were so impressed with the rental. It was very clean, had everything we needed. It was only about 10 minutes from Palo Duro Canyon. I would recommend the rental to anyone!

The house was very clean and well appointed. I was glad we had a back yard to sit in and enjoy the evenings as well as our doggie. The location of the house is perfect and so close to everything.

We are a family of six, with four teenagers, and we stayed one night to hike in Palo Duro Canyon on our way to Grand Canyon and Moab, UT. This rental was in a quiet location, and it was clean and updated. We had plenty of room for our family. Great rental, and we would stay here again!

Spacious and homey, with beautiful wood built-ins and lots of character! Nice large backyard for the pups to roam and the cutest dining area ever. We appreciated the gratis coffee bar and snacks. Thanks also for the Wrong Way Diner discount; we took advantage of the free burger and it was delish!

The house had all we needed for our 3-night stay. There is a lot of square footage in the house and a big back yard. We loved having Direct TV just like home. It's very welcoming to have snacks and bottled water on the coffee table. The washer dryer are new! Because of recent flooding, there was mild musty odor, which is a challenge because Canyon has had so much rain. Therefore to be honest, I rated it 4 stars, otherwise it would be 5!

There is a lot of room for everyone for sure! Very close to businesses and for shopping! Our group was very surprised at all the items that were included, including coffee and filters, coffee pods, and even the soap dispensers in the shower with shower gel, shampoo and conditioner (one is a walk in shower) plus some water and snacks. Very convenient location and comfortable.

Great location in town. We had 2 sets of grandparents come in for our sons college graduation. The host provides starter Kcups and tea not mentioned so we were pleasantly surprised. We let the grandparents stay in the two bedrooms in the front of the house since there is a step down from the kitchen leading to the back bedroom since one of them cannot see well. House is large and a great place to gather. We would stay here again.

The house is very well situated in Canyon, close to grocery stores, restaurants and an ice cream maker. It is also a short drive to Palo Duro State Park which was the reason our trip. Check in was easy and we had pretty much all we needed to cook. Kelby is a very responsive and helpful host (thank you!). We would definitely come back for a future trip!
