The Hideout at Palo Duro Canyon - Rider’s Roost

RARE FIND AT PALO DURO CANYON! Rider’s Roost at The Hideout at Palo Duro Canyon offers guests over 6 acres of peace and quietude, yet the convenience of being right next to the state park, zip line, Jeeping tours and horseback riding. You don’t want to miss out on this gem which has quickly become a destination on most travelers’ bucket list.
There are two cabins on our sprawling 6.5 acres ( See also the Hideout at Palo Duro Canyon- Buffalo Lodge, which sleeps an additional 4 guests). A bottle of wine awaits, so you can relax and unwind!

NOTE: This rental is not suitable for children under age 12.

We are family owned, with no corporate marketing tools to lure you in. Just simple Texas hospitality at it’s finest! We offer our guests the opportunity to travel back in time to the true spirit of the old west, complete with horses, a wild-eyed goat, and our rooster, Nigel.

We are closer to the state park than any other vacation rentals, truly! The floor plan is spacious with comfortable beds (no sofa beds to pull out), and no crowding. There are two dining tables, one inside and another on the screened in porch, so you can enjoy your BBQ on the screened porch. We also offer a 2-car carport, as Texas panhandle weather can be unpredictable with hail storms in the summer and ice storms in the winter!

Built within a horse stable, the upstairs has a 700 square foot room with 2 queen beds (2 additional roll away beds available upon request), and a large living area with sofa, two recliners, a 46 inch Smart TV, and Netflix. Downstairs enjoy a 150 square foot saloon style kitchenette furnished with a table that seats 4, a microwave, coffee pot, egg cooker, microwave bacon tray, crockpot, toaster, small sink and mini fridge. Open the double French doors to a 24x14 deck with fire pit, camper cook stove, gliding sofa, two rocking chairs, cooler, BBQ grill and large dining table. There is also a full bathroom with a large walk-in shower.

Notice:
This is a horse stable on a small farm. Farm animals make funny sounds, smell bad and have sex outdoors. Unless you can tolerate noise, odors and outdoor sex, this rental may not be for you.

You will love watching birds and local wildlife here at the Hideout. You may see songbirds, hawks, great horned owls, road runners, quail, deer, aoudads, feral hogs, bobcats, fox, and be serenaded by coyotes. Stunning sunrises and sunsets are included!

If you're in the mood to explore, Palo Duro Canyon State Park is right there, and the entrance to this “Grand Canyon of Texas" is just a mile further up the road. Visitors explore by car, hiking, horseback, and bike (best mountain biking around). Right by the Park are Palo Duro Zip Line Adventures, Palo Duro Creek Ranch Jeeping tours, and Palo Duro Riding Stables. The musical drama TEXAS shows in the park’s outdoor amphitheater June through mid-August and is a must see! Let us know if we can assist you with planning any of these activities. We’re here to help and want your stay to be enjoyable and memorable.

It’s about a fifteen minute jaunt to the city of Canyon where you’ll find the Panhandle Plains Historical Museum (the largest historical museum in the state of Texas). For restaurants, shopping, nightlife and live music, it’s about a half hour to Amarillo. Find cultural and sporting events, the famous Old Route 66, and the Cadillac Ranch (don’t forget to bring a can of spray paint). If you prefer to dine in Canyon, there are several great restaurants on the town square, such as Canyon Ranch Steak House, Sayakamaryns and Palace Coffee. Bar Z Winery and Creek House Honey Farm are also near by.

Additional services include concierge, and equestrian visitors. Fees for additional services vary, so contact us about your needs.

For your comfort and safety:
Quiet Zone. This is a quiet zone and HOA restrictions apply. No parties , outdoor music, or events. We also do not allow use of drones on the property. We DO NOT allow pets under any circumstances. DO NOT ASK!

Smoking. The inside of the cabin is a smoke-free zone. Smoking is OK on the screened porch, and a disposal container is provided.

This place was the cleanest place we have stayed! Immaculate! Charming small quarters well decorated and comfortable. The animals were a plus. The grounds were so nice with an inviting look. You do share this property with the stable so there is a haylike smell. The hist was very gracious and kind.

Deep in the Heart of Texas
Absolutely stunning! This property is a true gem near Palo Duro State Park. Our stay was nothing short of magical, offering a perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and culture. The property's three horses and two goats added a charming, rustic touch to our experience. It was a delight to see them daily, making us feel truly connected to nature. The stocked pond was a highlight, providing convenient access to many hours of fishing in the serene surroundings. The location couldn't have been better. Being so close to Palo Duro State Park allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the beauty and activities the area has to offer. The off-road jeep adventure was exhilarating, giving us an adrenaline rush as we explored the rugged terrain. Horseback riding through the scenic trails was equally delightful, offering breathtaking views and a peaceful escape. One of the most memorable experiences was attending a performance of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" in the park's outdoor amphitheater. The natural backdrop of the canyon under the starlit sky made the performance truly enchanting. Overall, this property exceeded our expectations in every way. The combination of excellent amenities, beautiful surroundings, and prime location near Palo Duro State Park made for an unforgettable vacation. We can't wait to return!

Palo Duro Trip
We were lucky to stay at the Rider's Roost. We had our two grandsons (8 & 11). Location was very close to Palo Duro Canyon, the scenic TX highway 207. We also went to Caprock Canyons and saw the Bison, a Roadrunner, and a Coyote. The Rider's Roost has sleeping quarters upstairs, kitchenette, nice shower/ toilet and a screened porch. We took our meals to the porch because it was cool and comfortable. There was plenty of room for the 4 of us. It is a very charming place, the boys helped feed the chickens and the catfish in the pond. We also got to eat fresh eggs from the chickens. It was everything I wished it to be. The only drawback was the moth ball's pungent smell. But they are necessary to ward off moths. After a while your nose acclimates to the smell. Andrea is a very kind and friendly host.

Spring Break!
Rider's Roost was a delightful place. The cabin was clean and cozy, just as described. We enjoyed being next to the barn and meeting the horses and the new goats, Pearl and Danny-boy. They were often under the carport greeting us when we returned from our excursions. The screened-in porch was perfect for an early morning coffee or a game of cards in the evening. Andrea included fresh chicken eggs and cream for our coffee. Her book collection on the area was so interesting. The guides and flyers were very helpful. The natural beauty of Palo Duro was majestic and it was wonderful being so close to the canyon. I would highly recommend Rider's Roost if you like animals, nature and a very quiet place to stay. Andrea is also a fabulous photographer and had some lovely cards for sale. An added bonus. Hope to return again! Thank you, Andrea.

For a visit to the Palo Duro State Park, I don't think you can find a more convenient location except maybe in the park. Considering the Roost is part of a horse stable, it is very clean and comfortable! The downstairs has very limited seating in a smallish kitchen but makes up for it with a very nice screened in patio for relaxing. Where you can listen to the cackle of the chickens and the nickers of the horses The bedroom is upstairs with a nice sitting area for reading, writing or watching TV. But the bathroom is downstairs which provided a bit of a challenge at night. Also, when I say rustic, there are pelts of various creatures on the handrails which my wife found a little off putting when having to go downstairs to go to the bathroom. Didn't bother me but if you don't like stuffed animals in your living quarters, I suggest you find something else.

Beautiful Getaway!
This is the perfect retreat! So comfortable and roomy, with all the comforts of home. We took our daughter to Palo Duro Canyon for her birthday trip, but this cabin and the surrounding nature turned out to be the highlight of our trip! We absolutely loved the old west décor with all the modern accommodations, definitely a one of a kind experience! Our hostess was so kind, and went the extra mile to make our stay a happy family memory.

Needed a cabin for a short notice trip to Palo Duro. This is a small country cabin on a working horse ranch, so naturally there are a few guidelines to follow and keep in mind throughout your stay. The cabin is well kept and perfectly appointed with just the right amount of amenities to make you feel at home and welcome.

Horsey heaven
Andrea and John are fantastic hosts! They are friendly and helpful. We were a tiny bit surprised when we first arrived as the roost really is above the barn/stable. The tack room is the back door and the stalls are right there in the stable with us. It smelled of alfalfa and horses. Anyone not familiar with this smell may think it’s bad, but I promise it is very pleasant. They should sell candles with that scent. The horses wander about and even come to visit. The giant turkey is Woodrow, and he’s the biggest turkey I’ve ever laid eyes on. Love the place and our hosts. Hope we can come back one day! The AC works really well, thank goodness, as it topped 100. The screened patio is perfect for enjoying the evening breeze.

Nice quiet getaway at the Hideout.
Andrea was very accomodating by allowing us to upgrade our cabin at no additional cost. She was also a very thoughtful host by providing special breakfast food and fixings for Mimosas. Since the snowfall on our first day restricted our activities, Andrea offered to let stay an extra night at no cost. The cabin was clean, cozy, well decorated and had a great heating system. In addition, Andrea provided us with very helpful guidance about local restaurants and other points of interest. She was a very good host, and we have already recommended her facilities to some of our friends.
