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.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Fantastic place to stay! Excellent location to Caprock Canyon State Park. House was very comfortable and clean. Stayed with another couple. Loved the swing on the large covered porch.

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.

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.

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.

Such a peaceful place

Cozy, spacious, and perfect for our group of 11. We went to caprock canyon and palo duro canyon. Caprock state park entrance is about a 1 or 2 minute drive from the property and if all you saw was caprock, the trip would be worth it. All photos are of caprock canyon. The host was great!
