Doves Rest Cabins - Fortress, on the West Rim

The stronghold of Fortress Cabin takes its name for the centerpiece of its view gazing at the Fortress Cliffs along the east rim of Palo Duro Canyon State Park, a protected six miles of cliffs overlooking the Grand Canyon of Texas. The bluff’s look the same way the first Texans saw it — unspoiled. The steep margins of the Fortress Cliffs consist of bright, banded layers of orange, red, brown, yellow, and white rocks that represent four geologic periods. Adding to the cliffs scenic grandeur are numerous pinnacles, buttes, and mesas. Doves Rest Fortress is a place of exceptional security, privacy and refuge.

Modern but rustic, this two-bedroom, two-bath cabin is immaculate and fully furnished. It features a wood burning fireplace, covered patio facing east with porch swings, fire pit and BBQ. The fully equipped kitchen offers everything you need to make you feel at home. Clean linens and towels are provided for your comfort along with extra blankets for cozy nights. A 70” T.V. in the living area makes the nights even more entertaining! Guests can unwind around the beautiful flagstone patio and enjoy the outdoor fire pit when the temperature dips. The combination of upscale amenities and stunning vistas is what makes this Palo Duro Canyon Cabin so attractive to the discriminating intrepid traveler.

Loved the view and the proximity

Best view of the canyon as far as I am concerned. We had a snow storm while we were there and the house had everything to keep us warm and cozy. The trails were wonderful and the hot tub was a blessing after a 12 mile hike.

Peaceful evenings with beautiful views. The communication with the owners is very easy and they are quick to respond. Wonderful welcome gift of sparkling cider and champagne with two complimentary flutes was a pleasant surprise. Definitely worth staying here when you visit the area.

Serene Paradise

This house is fabulous, particularly the patio, porch and views. The house is comfortable and relaxing and is very private through its own secure gate. Constant cool breeze made even a warm afternoon pleasant and relaxing on the porch and it's about 5 mintues from the park entrance, so easy to go back and forth as needed. Wish I could have stayed longer!!

Spectacular!

The four of us (all over 70) had a wonderful time at Dove's Rest in Palo Duro Canyon. We stayed at the Fortress and used the fireplace, the hot tub, and the kitchen every day we were there. It was a little windy, so we didn't sit outside much, but I think that area would be lovely in warmer weather. We had everything we needed for a lovely three days and did a couple of great hikes. We all highly recommend this location.

Spectacular!

I don’t know if I can come up with words to describe the feeling of walking onto the patio and seeing the view of Palo Duro Canyon. It is simply breathtaking! The weather was cool and we sat on the patio all evening enjoying the views then watched the stars in the sky. The beds were comfortable and the house was lovely. I will be recommending this house to everyone and we will be back!

The Fortress @ Palo Duro Canyon

We had a wonderful stay at the Fortress Cabin (Doves Rest Resorts). The management team was great and the entire process from booking thru check-out was seamless. The cabin was exactly as advertised and was so cozy and comfortable. The location was perfect, very close to all the hiking trails. It sits on the rim of the canyon and the views were spectacular. The entire property was extremely clean, including the hot tub and grill. The cabin and the rental experience exceeded our expectations in every respect. We will definitely recommend the Fortress to others, and we hope to return ourselves!
