About this cabin rental

The stronghold of Fortress Cabin takes its name for the centerpiece of its view gazing at the Fortress Cliffs along the east rim of Palo Duro Canyon State Park, a protected six miles of cliffs overlooking the Grand Canyon of Texas. The bluff’s look the same way the first Texans saw it — unspoiled. The steep margins of the Fortress Cliffs consist of bright, banded layers of orange, red, brown, yellow, and white rocks that represent four geologic periods. Adding to the cliffs scenic grandeur are numerous pinnacles, buttes, and mesas. Doves Rest Fortress is a place of exceptional security, privacy and refuge.

Modern but rustic, this two-bedroom, two-bath cabin is immaculate and fully furnished. It features a wood burning fireplace, covered patio facing east with porch swings, 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. A 70” T.V. in the living area makes the nights even more entertaining! Guests can unwind around the beautiful flagstone patio and enjoy the outdoor fire pit when the temperature dips. The combination of upscale amenities and stunning vistas is what makes this Palo Duro Canyon Cabin so attractive to the discriminating intrepid traveler.

I have been using VRBO for roughly 20 years. This was the best communication from the owner/management I've ever experienced, by far. House was clean and charming. The view was breathtaking. Even my teenagers' exclaimed it was the best view of their lives and began to FaceTime family and friends to show off this special place. We cooked spaghetti and ate outside with that view. Then I woke up and did it all again with that view and my coffee. Cool general store and beer/wine bar called The Sad Monkey and only 4 min drive away. Thank you! Jonathan

We had a wonderful time (3 nights) at the Fortress cabin. The view is spectacular and we enjoyed the privacy of the property. The house had most everything we needed (no foil, plastic wrap, etc if you plan on cooking…but no big deal). The bed is very comfortable. They provided coffee pods for the keurig! We had a full day of nonstop rain and high winds so we were at the house all day and still enjoyed the view and the comfort of the house. Sad Monkey Mercantile is just down the road so we popped in for great sandwiches and iced coffee (and shopping). We were able to see the eclipse from the bottom of the canyon…not quite a full eclipse but still very cool to see! We hope to be back to Dove’s Rest this Fall for a few days.

Location was outstanding. The view was magnificent. The house is just about 50 feet from the rim of the canyon and the view is absolutely incredible. As far as the house is concerned, I have to tell you I have been renting locations for special occasions for over 30 years and this property was the very best equipped in every area and also the cleanest. If I could give it a 10 start for all categories I would. If you're looking for a tremendously great place, for a relaxing stay, rent the Fortress property, you will not regret your decision. My wife and I intent to rent the same location for our anniversary in May. The owners were extremely easy to deal with and were responsive to every need.

We had a wonderful stay at the Fortress Cabin (Doves Rest Resorts). The management team was great and the entire process from booking thru check-out was seamless. The cabin was exactly as advertised and was so cozy and comfortable. The location was perfect, very close to all the hiking trails. It sits on the rim of the canyon and the views were spectacular. The entire property was extremely clean, including the hot tub and grill. The cabin and the rental experience exceeded our expectations in every respect. We will definitely recommend the Fortress to others, and we hope to return ourselves!

Property is lovely - great views. Plenty of firewood. Kitchen has lots of pots and pans - easy to cook here. And better still the concierge service made sure our groceries were in the house when we arrived. Good communication on directions and how to work the key pad for the house and the gate. We will be back!!

I don’t know if I can come up with words to describe the feeling of walking onto the patio and seeing the view of Palo Duro Canyon. It is simply breathtaking! The weather was cool and we sat on the patio all evening enjoying the views then watched the stars in the sky. The beds were comfortable and the house was lovely. I will be recommending this house to everyone and we will be back!

Our stay at Fortress was pure pleasure. We were two couples in the house and the layout was great for us. There was nice separation between the two bedrooms and both bedrooms were spacious with their own bathrooms and large closets. Beds were extremely comfortable. The living area was very comfortable and as pictured. The house was well supplied, everything worked and was in very good condition. The outdoor area was also very comfortable and the amazing view was as pictured. A nice bonus was that the view from the living area faced East so we had beautiful sunrises over the canyon to enjoy while we were there. We had the ideal communication balance of feeling well looked after but also that we were given our privacy. The hiking was wonderful in the canyon and the cabin was just a couple of miles from the park entrance. An FYI for those who are coming to hike- we found the trail designations of moderate and difficult to be confusing. We hiked the Lighthouse trail, which is listed as moderate, and the the Comanche trails both listed as difficult and we all felt the Lighthouse trail presented more challenges than the two Comanche trails. Would love to return sometime and would absolutely stay at Doves Rest again.

Fabulous views of the canyon from the “Fortress” house. Very well equipped and clean house. Memory foam beds were comfy and really appreciate the purified water and wood provided for the fireplace. So convenient to Palo Duro! We will be back! Only issue was not receiving the check in instructions until a few minutes before arrival.

The four of us (all over 70) had a wonderful time at Dove's Rest in Palo Duro Canyon. We stayed at the Fortress and used the fireplace, the hot tub, and the kitchen every day we were there. It was a little windy, so we didn't sit outside much, but I think that area would be lovely in warmer weather. We had everything we needed for a lovely three days and did a couple of great hikes. We all highly recommend this location.

It’s hard to get teenagers excited about being outside and off their mobile devices. But from the moment we arrived the kids were in awe. The property is beautiful. The location is beautiful. We had a small issue with the propane tank, and Jeff came to the house within 5 minutes and switched out the tank. We will be back for sure!

This house was incredible! The VIEWS are breath taking! I would buy this place in heartbeat if it were for sale! Lots of wildlife to watch and very close to the entrance of the park. Go see the Texas Musical if you have the time, or watch the amazing sunset. The constant breeze kept it cool in the shade. Will definitely return!

The property is located on the rim of the Canyon with amazing views. We cooked a few meals for our 3 night stay both indoors and on the porch covered grill. The owner has provided everything you need. The hot tub was great with a wonderful view of the stars. The king size bed was very comfortable. The complimentary Champaign & sparkling cider with logo Champaign flutes to take home was a very nice touch. I would highly recommend staying here.
