About this property

A true West Texas experience , Golf retreat and 20 min. to Palo Duro Canyon

When you walk through the barn doors, you feel like you've stepped into the adventurous West. There are several paintings and prints on the wall of local artists and several western books for you to peruse. Come and enjoy the allure of the West at our casita located in the barn beside our home.

The gathering room is large with a seating area, dining table, and kitchen with island. It is adorned with decorations that give you a true taste of West Texas. The bathroom is large and beautifully decorated with Mexican tile, an antique door and bench for dressing. The bathroom has a spacious walk in shower, but a bathtub is not included.
Our Casita is in a quiet, family neighborhood built on the top of the canyon in Canyon Country Club. For this reason, we ask that you keep noise level low, especially after 10 p.m. Our neighborhood has a semi-private 9 hole golf course, which you are welcome to book for a tee time. We have a golf cart for your use if you would like to go down the hill to the pro shop. The canyon is home to a lot of wildlife including deer, turkey, owls and much more. We are 5 minutes from West Texas A&M University (and welcome family of the students), and the Panhandle Plains Historical Museum (the largest in Texas). Palo Duro Canyon is the second largest canyon in the United States and has many hiking and mountain biking trails for the outdoor enthusiast, and it’s just a quick 20 minute drive from our place. The musical, TEXAS, is also at Palo Duro Canyon and runs from June to August. The square in Canyon is only minutes away and has several fantastic restaurants such as, Sayakomarn’s, Joe Taco, and the Rockin’ Zebra Soda Shoppe. Feldman's, Green Chile Willy's, and Bears Burgers and Dawgs are also near. We are also 20 minutes from Amarillo which has lots more restaurants like the well-known Big Texan, and activities like Amarillo Art Museum, Symphony, and Ballet, the historic Route 66, the American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame & Museum, Wonderland, Cadillac Ranch and the new SodPoodles AAA baseball team.
We have a playground for children to play supervised by parents, and a tandem bicycle upon request. You will be welcomed with snacks and a few drinks, but also by our golden retriever, Sadie. She loves visitors! We want you to enjoy your time here, capture the sunsets and sunrises, relax and spend some time in the Panhandle.

A Special Place

The casita is exactly as advertised. It is in a lovely little neighborhood but in the country-5 deer smiling at us close to the driveway as we arrived home last night. It’s cozy, clean, and welcoming. The couple of little questions we had when we checked in were immediately answered by the hosts. If you’re n the area, this is the place to stay.

Cool western themed home.

Needed a place to stay for a night on our cross country journey and this was perfect. Nicely decorated, private. Visited the canyon to the south. Definitely worth it. Well stocked with everything we needed, plus some. Only wish was that we either could have stayed longer or weren’t in such a hurry to move onto our next destination, so we could have enjoyed the outdoor area. If we are ever in the area again, we would definitely stay again.

Perfect size cabin

We had a great time here. Close to Canyon, but still out far enough for peace and quiet in the evening. The cabin was well stocked and had everything we need for an easy stay. Will definitely be back.

Peaceful Charm

The Canyon Casita was a beautiful home away from home. We loved the charming rustic vibes. It came with a huge porch, playground for the littles, and comfy living room. We throughly enjoyed our stay, and cant wait to visit again for another staycation.

Enjoyable stay

We wanted to break up a trip to Santa Fe and the barn/casita was a great choice. Very convenient to our morning visit to Palo Duro Canyon and dining in Canyon. The casita was very clean and had everything we needed, we loved the west Texas decor.

One of our favorites

The attention to detail in this place for our family was amazing. The children’s room had no windows so we didn’t have to fool with trying to rig up black out curtains. Each bunk had a little controllable night light so we didn’t have to worry about that either. We loved our little stay and when we’re back this way, we’ll stay again.

Canyon Casita

The Casita is exactly as described. They home is decorated perfectly, no detailed spared. The beds and couch were very comfortable. The owners put a lot of thought into the Casita, very well maintained, very clean and very loved. We were very pleased with our choice and if we are every in Canyon, TX again we will definitely stay in Canyon Casita. P.s.- we met the owners and their new pup and they are lovely family.

Lovely casita.

This casita is so lovely and beautifully decorated. It’s just a short 15 minute drive to the Palo Duro Canyon. We enjoyed cooking our steak and chicken on the Weber outside whilst enjoying the fire pit. We had lunch at Mickeys Italian restaurant and the food was amazing! The casita is located in a lovely quiet neighborhood with loads of deer at dusk and dawn. I highly recommend this casita. We had a lot of fun.

About the host

Hosted by Whitney Brown

Host profile image
We grew up In Amarillo and love the people here. It's a great family town. The Panhandle has a beauty of its own and you grow to cherish it along with the people. Living on the edge of town, we especially enjoy the big, beautiful skies. We catch a lot of great sunrises and sunsets and hope our guests will too.

Why they chose this property

We live in the house on this property and originally built the barn apartment, or Casita for our expanding family when they come home, for young adults and families that our kids know and travel through town. But we felt like we wanted to share it with guests when our kids are not home and meet many new friends!

What makes this property unique

Its a very relaxing place with porches and swings, access to a beautiful golf course, near great restaurants and so close to the beautiful Palo Duro Canyon. We built this house and barn so it has special touches that mean so much to us.
