We are a family of six, with four teenagers, and we stayed one night to hike in Palo Duro Canyon on our way to Grand Canyon and Moab, UT. This rental was in a quiet location, and it was clean and updated. We had plenty of room for our family. Great rental, and we would stay here again!

Plenty of room

The location was perfect, right near Canyon's main streets. Although the bathrooms are a bit odd and dated, the entire place was exceptionally clean and the bedrooms are spacious. There's plenty of room for a family to spread out in this home.

We stayed with 5 adults and there was plenty of room. Nicely appointed with comfy beds. Huge yard. Only issue we had was a clogged toilet that never got serviced. We were told a plumber would be called but never heard back from owner. Would stay again.

Most comfortable home for family

We wish we had longer to stay. Traveling with young adults (grandkids) 17-22 yoa. They loved the outlay of the home with gathering space inside second den and outside picnic tables. The backyard went on forever and my pupp loved chasing the dragon flies. We visited Palo Duro Canyon on way to Colorado Springs.

Better than the pictures!

I thought this place was wonderful just by looking at the pictures, but the pictures didn’t tell all! Not only was the communication excellent, but this place is so spacious and amazingly comfortable! Even the backyard is nice and big, with a grill, lights, and 2 picnic tables! The beds are very comfortable and this place has everything I could ask for! The neighborhood is quiet and feels like home too! will definitely be staying here every time I’m in Canyon!!! This is definitely a rare find!!!!!

Great Location

We arrived at the Cozy Buffalo after we had been in 100 degree heat at Palo Dura Canyon. The house was nice and cool so we really appreciated that! I had already received check in information so getting into the house was a breeze. The house was clean and ready. We had 4 adults and 6 children with us. We put 2 people in one bedroom and 3 (one was a small child) in the bedroom with a king size bed. 4 of us slept in the additional room that is at the back of the house. That room was hard to cool off! We still needed to sleep one more person and finally found the blow-up beds in the floor of a closet. We used one of those beds and put it in the front living room. We found some sheets in another closet that was inside the add-on bedroom at the back of the house. Upon awakening the next morning, the blow-up bed was no longer inflated. Thankfully, the child sleeping on it was a deep sleeper. I did not see another place for a second blow-up bed. The second living area is bright and sunny, but with no curtains it would not work to sleep in there. The beds were comfortable. In the morning we walked a very short distance to a donut shop. We didn’t use the kitchen, only the fridge. The location of this VRBO for activities at WT or in Canyon area is great. I would caution with trying to sleep more than 8.

There is a lot of room for everyone for sure! Very close to businesses and for shopping! Our group was very surprised at all the items that were included, including coffee and filters, coffee pods, and even the soap dispensers in the shower with shower gel, shampoo and conditioner (one is a walk in shower) plus some water and snacks. Very convenient location and comfortable.
