Everything was so easy and the property description is very true. In fact, it was even more perfect than we had expected! The owner was great with a couple of questions we had before arrival and made it clear she would be available if we needed anything.

Spicer Bunkhouse
Wonderful 3-night stay at the Spicer Bunkhouse! Peaceful country setting with horses and donkeys, yet minutes from Palo Duro Canyon. The Western decor was charming and cozy, and Becky thought of everything. Her attention to detail made our anniversary extra special. A perfect mix of comfort, charm, and convenience. Can’t wait to come back—thank you, Becky!

A taste of West Texas
We loved our stay here. We were visiting from another part of Texas, and I think this home would give folks from out of state a great taste of authentic West Texas. The home feels like you're staying at a friend's house. It's very well furnished and includes lots of personal touches like family history and photos, beautiful artwork, and heirloom pieces without feeling fussy. The beds were comfortable, the water was hot, snacks were waiting for us in the kitchen, and the family animals on property were excellent greeters. If you're traveling with someone with mobility issues, I think the only thing to be aware of is that there are steps from the driveway to the main door, there's a step down from the main living area to the bedroom area, and there's a small step into the shower in the main bathroom. This place was beautiful, thoughtfully done, and a real pleasure. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Comfortable Casita in Canyon
Wonderful stay near the Palo Duro Canyon State Park. Idyllic property, with a quiet modernized casita on an active horse farm. Becky, the owner, is most attentive and the home was well stocked with every creature comfort with a well stocked cooks kitchen (plus snacks, coffee and tea), comfortable couches and beds, and even warm blankets and candles. The family has a long history with horses, and the home reflects it in the photos, books and vintage decor. There is a porch on two sides with plenty of chairs for sitting and greeting the on site dogs and watching the beautiful horses in the Texas breeze. Relaxing, comfortable, close to town and the canyon. Perfection!

Spicer Bunkhouse
We really enjoyed our stay over Thanksgiving! Becky was a perfect host and her bunkhouse is amazing! It is stocked with everything you need and is a short drive to Palo Duro State Park. We had a great time just hanging at the bunkhouse, playing games, enjoying the view of the horses and getting visits from her cute dogs. Thanks for having us Becky!

Country living at it’s finest
Turning into the drive, blue quail were at the gate and ran just in front then to the side of our pickup. That told us we were in a good place. With the horses and donkey in the pasture beside the property, barns and stables as well, the setting was perfect. The house is really nice, very comfortable, very clean, very country. No city noise out here. That was why we chose to stay there. Becky was great, available if needed. You will not be disappointed in this one. Wish i could load a picture, the sunset was amazing. We hope to stay there again. Bill & Patty

A slice of Texas Panhandle heaven.
You are not just booking a home, but an entire experience. Becky has created a very special place in Texas’ Panhandle. We were treated to a wonderful home with no detail missed, to the property complete with horses and an infinite horizon to watch the sunsets.
We were here for a family wedding and our six year old granddaughter was fascinated by the horses. Becky let her help feed the horses and donkeys, an experience and memory she will never forget. Thank you, Becky, for sharing you wonderful home and property.

Family Vacation
Becky was a stellar host! Her property is a peaceful oasis just south of the community of Canyon. The property is so well appointed! Becky has truly thought of everything. Grab a few groceries and don’t go anywhere…you’ll be delighted! But it’s also conveniently located to Canyon (with several good restaurants), Amarillo and especially the gorgeous Palo Duro Canyon. You really need to stay here, would do it again in a heart beat!! You won’t find a better place to experience something new!!

I have travelled a lot for work, and have stayed in many hotels and short term rentals. This place is unique, it really is an experience more than a stay. The communication and hospitality of the owner are far and above to your typical hosts. One truly feels at home at the Spicer Bunk House.

Palo Duro Adventure
This is the best VRBO rental I have ever stayed in . Clean , beautifully decorated , anything you need and Becky checks in with you to make sure all is well . Very quiet but still a close drive into town and the Palo Duro Canyon . My granddaughter loved petting the horses and dogs . I highly recommend the Spicer Bunkhouse
