Older house but lots of room and clean
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!!!!!

Spacious and homey, with beautiful wood built-ins and lots of character! Nice large backyard for the pups to roam and the cutest dining area ever. We appreciated the gratis coffee bar and snacks. Thanks also for the Wrong Way Diner discount; we took advantage of the free burger and it was delish!

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.

The Cozy Buffalo
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.

Fun at the Buffalo!
This cozy house is large and accommodating for a large group of people. It is in a great location for hiking at Palo Duro Canyon. The host had a nice welcome basket with snacks and water. There was also many brochures and maps that were helpful. The backyard is very large, with great seating areas. The only drawback for our family Is the step down areas in the house that wouldn't work for my elderly mother.

We stopped over for several days to hike Palo Duro Canyon and we weren't disappointed. The house has more then enough space and a large back yard for my pup to run in. Communication with the owner was as easy as it gets he's very responsive to any questions. If you are looking for a place to stay in Canyon I don't think you will be disappointed if you choose this house.

Cozy, spacious, and fun!
We came to see Palo Duro Canyon, the Water Park, and the 4th of July parade. This was a great home to relax, talk, and cook with our friends ans famiy. Kelby was a super terrific host: He responded to all of our pre-arrival questions, made sure we had EVERYTHING we needed, and was very responsive during our stay. The home was roomy, everything worked well, and everyone liked the comfy beds! The neighborhood was quiet. The backyard is very meditative in the morning. We appreciated the encouraging sayings throughout the kitchen that reminded us to be thankful to Jesus. The layout is L-shaped, so bigger groups can have conversations in different areas in the home and not disturb others. Overall, this is a terrific home to rent if you are going to Palo Duro or visiting your college student at WTAMU.
