About this property

The Tonkawa Homestead at Caprock Canyons

Visiting Caprock Canyons State Park, Quitaque, Turkey, or friends/family in the area? Looking for a place to stay after a long day of hiking, biking, hunting, horseback riding, or exploring, without having to drive 1+ hours to the nearest accommodation?

Come stay in the Tonkawa, located just minutes from Caprock Canyons. This vacation rental is part of a historic homestead built in 1925, updated in the 90's, but still retaining the historic charm and decor from almost 100 years ago.

It is a three-bedroom, two-bath vacation rental.

Relax in the spacious living room with fold-out sofa, loveseat, and gas fireplace. Enjoy your favorite shows and movies on the big-screen Roku TV with Hulu.

Spend time cooking in a fully-equipped kitchen with a seating island, or grill your favorite foods on the outdoor gas grill (propane is provided).

Wake up with complimentary coffee/tea at the coffee bar in the kitchen. Light snacks are provided as well.

Linens and towels are included.

Located on ten acres, two miles from the state park and one mile from the quaint town of Quitaque, guests are free to sit out on the front porch, walk the property, play games (badminton, tetherball, washers, tic-tac-toe), and enjoy the peace, quiet, and views of the surrounding areas.

Some outdoor spaces are shared, such as the games, waterfall, and picnic tables, with guests of the camper rental and RV sites.

---------------
Note: The owners occasionally stay on-site in the unrenovated apartment in the back part of the house.

Great place - great location!

It is a lovely place to stay, right by Cap Rock Canyon. Close to town, and yet peacefully in the country. If I am ever in this neck of the woods again, I would definitely stay here! The gas fireplace is a wonderful touch.

This beautiful home was the perfect location for our trip to see Caprock Canyon State Park. The home was cozy and had everything we needed for our stay. We plan to return with other family members!

Family trip to Caprock Canyon

We had a wonderful stay at this updated, pretty decorated farmhouse, accomodating our large family group. It is well supplied and a lovely setting! It is very close to the park.

Quick 2 days

Had an event to attend in the local area, and stayed here. Because of the weather we had to move back a week. The host said it was open and moved us. Didn't charge us more and was EASY to deal with. The place was spotless and if the weather was nicer would've taken more advantage of the outside area. Would stay here again!

Great overnight stay

We were doing a childhood remembrance trip with my 89 year old Mother who was born in Gasoline. We visited Quitaque, Flomot, Turkey, Gasoline and Caprock Canyon State Park. The location worked great for our family.

Pretty spot near Caprock Canyon

We loved this lovely well-maintained house. There was ample space for all and the beds and couches were very comfortable. We especially loved the big front porch and huge screened porch. Easy access to the canyon, plus a short drive to the Tukey Hotel for live music and great food.

Comfy Lodging for Caprock Canyons Visit

If you are looking to visit Caprock Canyons but prefer a cozy bed, full kitchen, and hot shower to tent living, this is the place. It is just down the road from the state park and comfortably housed my family of 5. Nice dogs next door who will visit for a back scratch too.

Nice and cozy

The information from the host was very accurate and prompt. Plenty of towels for a big group. Plenty of coffee to go around. Would’ve stayed longer if we had the chance. Very close to Caprock Canyon State Park.

If you are hiking Caprock, you can’t get closer or nicer. This old, historic home is wonderful and a very short ride to the canyon
