Can't say enough about this wonderful place or Beverly and Phil! We were provided with chips, homemade guacamole, queso, drinks, and even an anniversary cake! They were so knowledgeable about the area and all of their suggestions were spot on. The house is so well stocked, you truely don't need to bring a thing. Being able to see the Aoudad Sheep was a special bonus. Perfect stay. Perfect place.

Great location and features

This place has everything you need - even if you have kids or pets. The location is great - very quiet (except for the amazing wildlife!) and close to Palo Duro Canyon State Park. Furniture is comfortable and everything in the house is labeled for convenience. The garage is a nice bonus, because you don't have to leave your car in the heat. Our pups really enjoyed the fenced back yard (note: coyotes are very bold - make sure to keep an eye on smaller pets) This is the best vacation rental we have had yet!

Wonderful Canyon Retreat!

The Nocona Lodge is as good as advertised and then some! So many thoughtful details and a truly relaxing environment. Host Beverly gives everything a personal touch greeting guests with margaritas, homemade cookies, guacamole, queso, snacks, and a full tour! Can't wait to return, next time for a longer stay.

Anniversary and Family Getaway

Nacona Lodge was the perfect place to unwind and reset while celebrating our wedding Anniversary coupled with a family getaway. Beverly is an exceptional host, offering several suggestions of things to do in the area. A lovely property that makes you truly unwind. The views of Paulo Duro Canyon are stunning and it was a thrilling experience interacting with the Auodad. We love this place!!

Memorable trip

We were greeted at the house by Beverly who had margaritas and guacamole and chips at the ready! She was awesome at telling us everything we needed to know and then some. The house was incredibly comfortable and stocked with everything we could possibly need. We were less than 5 minutes from the park entry and enjoyed it tremendously. So beautiful! And I need to mention the views from the back porch were also stunning! We hit a bump in our trip when hurricane force winds and a severe dust storm knocked out power to the area and water to the house. Beverly was on top of things and stayed in communication with us. We sadly had to cut our trip short because of the storm that hit the panhandle, but we would love to come back!

Wonderful!

The property is stunning! Attention to detail is off the charts! The backyard opens up to the canyon providing incredible views. The home itself is very well appointed and is stocked with all the essentials. The location is ideal, only minutes from Palo Duro Canyon State Park and 25 minutes from Amarillo. The host is friendly, knowledgeable and truly cares about helping you make the most out of your stay. Couldn't ask for more! We'll be back!

Beautiful setting and home

The home was pristine and beautifully decorated for the holidays! The owner met us with margaritas at check-in and provided us with many delicious treats which we enjoyed throughout our stay. The home was minutes from Palo Duro Canyon which hosted a full schedule of children's programs the week before Christmas. Feeding the sheep and the many birds at Nocona Lodge was a highlight for the kids as well as riding bikes and playtime in the sand box. Beverly's hospitality was over the top. She gave us many great ideas for our time here and provided us a lovely, welcoming and cozy environment to explore the Canyon's offerings! We had a fabulous time! Happy Holidays Beverly! Thank you Beverly!

Nacona Lodge Palo Duro Trip

Excellent care and service by Beverly. She really went above and beyond to provide not only everything we needed, but extra touches. She made fresh guacamole, left wine, cookies, snacks and plenty of firewood, starter kits, etc. She was there to greet us and spent an hour showing our team where everything was. Beverly was responsive to any questions we had during our stay. There were SO many extras with this unit including games in the garage, a smoker and of course the pickleball court was over the top! I would go back in a heartbeat!

Comfortable and well appointed

Very well appointed with luxury level appliances and gadgets and lots of space. Plenty of basics if you forgot something (shampoo, lotion, etc.). Most importantly - the backyard and porch with multiple windows that overlook all (slight view of Palo Duro Canyon). Very peaceful. The most birds I have ever seen and heard. Sheep came to eat once or twice per day. Very relaxing. LOVE the Canyon. Beverly called before the trip and discussed our preferences and provided many links to sights and information. She and her husband greeted us and had guacamole. We will stay again if in the area.

PERFECTION!

We rented this home for a week. There was not one thing we could have wished for! The kitchen is equipped better than my home. ; ). It was the perfect place to stay. The view of Palo Duro Canyon was great. Palo Duro State Park was 10 minutes away. Auodads visited daily and Beverly had us supplied with treats for them. Beverly was an amazing Host. She gave us many options to visit while in the area. If you visit, these were the options we chose from Beverly's suggestions: 1. Big Texan Steak House. 2. Panhandle-Plains museum 3. Creek House Honey Farm. They give tours starting in May, but worth a stop for mead slulshies! 4. Bar Z winery. Make an online res and try the Un-Rose We also hiked in Palo Duro. GSL was the group fav. Caprock Canyon State Park is also an hour and half away...well worth a visit for a day trip. I have to say that Beverly made this trip a joy. The home is everything and more that you would want in a VRBO...or your own home. Enjoy the visit and the Host with the most, Beverly!

We chose this lodge because it was so kid friendly and we love Palo Duro Canyon. We used every kid thing available-the pack n play, kid dishes, water toys, sandbox, games. So much fun and made it easy for us to entertain our toddler while we also enjoyed the amazing scenery, hiking, Texas play, farmers market and my favorite the Auodad sheep! They come right up to the property! The hosts were so thorough and gave us the most complete introduction to the property. We had everything we could possibly need. Beautiful place!

The Perfect House

We love this house and the location so much we have stayed in it twice. The first time was with our immediate family, the second time was with our friends and their family. Beverly and Phil are excellent hosts and even greet you upon arrival with the best homemade margs, cheese dip and guacamole! Their house is beautiful and offers excellent amenities for entertaining outdoors, cooking inside, all while having a beautiful view of the canyon. Oh, and there is a pickle ball court and beautiful wildlife. Plus, the location is excellent and convenient to both Canyon, Amarillo, and of course Palo Dura Canyon. I highly recommend this rental.....you will not be disappointed.

This has to be one of our favorite VRBO stays ever! We were met with guacamole and queso, wine and even an offer of margaritas! The owner was so helpful - she answered all our questions and gave great recommendations! The house had everything you could need and more - everything was labeled from light switches to drawer contents - so helpful! The views were absolutely incredible - I couldn’t stop taking pictures! Loved the sheep, birds, bunny and longhorns - and the peace and quiet! I already want to go back!
