Property Description
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.

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.About pets:No pets allowed.About checkOut:Check out before 11:00 AM.About children:Children allowed: ages 0-17.About checkIn:Check in after 3:00 PM.About smoking:Smoking is not permitted.About events:No events allowed.

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!

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.
