About this property

SkyHouse cabin on the West Rim

Sky by name, sky by nature – let your heart sing. You’ll never forget the first time that you see this view! Perched hundreds of feet above the west rim of Palo Duro Canyon State Park, from this celestial cabin you will survey everything that lies below in the canyon floor, and from above; where the sun, stars, planets, and the moon are seen traveling in the wide open expanse of the firmament. SkyHouse is a real piece of Heaven and is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.



This massive one-bedroom, 1 and ½ bath cabin was designed by the premiere home-builder in the Texas Panhandle. This Cliffside retreat has a contemporary design that seamlessly blends into the landscape around it. The master bedroom acts as its own private suite, including a queen size leather sofa sleeper in the main room.



SkyHouse features a wood burning fireplace, 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. The 500 sq. ft. covered porch and expansive terraced patios make for perfect outdoor gatherings, and is the centerpiece during long summer evenings. Guests can then unwind around the outdoor fire pit when the temperature dips.
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and 1.5 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a sofa bed. Limited housekeeping is available.

I had stayed here before and knew that I wanted to come back. Really nice cabin and GREAT view. We enjoyed the hot tub while watching the sunrise and the provided robes were a nice touch. My only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer.

King and Queen of the Canyon

Our stay at SkyHouse was a wonderful experience. The specular view of Palo Duro Canyon from the back patio or from anywhere within the house (full glass in every room across the back) made us feel like the king and queen of the canyon. The location is quiet, serene, and easy to get to.

Beautiful Place

The view did not disappoint! The cabin was also very nice. It was very cold and so we enjoyed the fireplace. The grill did not work. All of the food that I brought was to be prepared on the grill. We called the manager and he said he would be by the next morning but he never showed up. The hot tub is nice but it does not work properly either. I was really looking forward to relaxing from the hot tub and enjoying the view. It was disappointing that we were unable to do so. Overall, it was a nice stay. It is just too expensive to have it not be as planned. We wont stay there again.

Perfect, Amazing and Breathtaking

There can not be better views in Texas! Everything was perfect from the champagne, hot tub, and robes waiting for us. The hot tub tripped a fuse and maintenance was there in 5 minutes and it didn’t happen again. Amazing service!! The hot tub was heated up and running when we got there and was perfect with breathtaking views and privacy ! They leave nothing to chance!

Incredible property. We were lucky enough to be there during a near full moon, to sit in the hot tub under the full moon was amazing. Then to wake up to a spectacular sunrise.

The rain was no deterrent at all from enjoying Palo Duro Park and our stay.

Sky House greeted us with beautiful view of the canyon, the sun from the West provided the paint brushes for the red hues and the green and clear blue sky. The sun from the East made sure we left without being partial to just one side/view of the canyon! The house is perfect!

What a view!

Like others have said, the pictures really do not do this beautiful canyon justice! My husband and I spent a long weekend here for our anniversary and could not get over just how incredible the view is. The cabin is located very close to the state park and I recommend visiting there and taking the jeep tour at the nearby ranch. The cabin itself is well furnished and decorated and the complimentary champagne in the fridge was a nice touch. The bed was extremely comfortable and the hot tub was very clean. I do wish there had been some furniture down the patio steps near the fire pit. There is a burn ban in place so I assume that is why there is no furniture in that area. My only very minor complaint was the coffee situation. I assumed we would be provided ground coffee but there was only a limited number of kcups stocked for our stay. It would be nice to have ground coffee on hand for those of us that drink several cups a day. All in all, it was a wonderful stay and we definitely would love to return to Dove's rest for another stay in the future.

Beautiful and Romantic

Just like everyone else says - pictures don’t do it justice AT ALL. I needed a romantic place to propose to my boyfriend on Valentine’s Day and this place was PERFECT. The kitchen it fully stocked - like staying at a friends house. Most vacation rentals are slightly worn but not this place nothing in the cabin is chipped/broken or worn. I was very impressed. Will definitely be coming back :)
