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 scenicgrandeur 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.

    Absolutely the best view of the canyon! Fortress was beautiful, rugged, relaxing and easy to get to. It was definitely a sanctuary. We listened to all of the birds in the evening as we drank our complimentary champagne. I look forward to bringing my family back with me next time. A wonderful romantic escape from the city with my husband. We loved it!

    This place is heaven on earth. We could not have asked for a better place to stay. We stayed with our 2 boys, 8 and 5, and they had an amazing time as well. You cant help but take in the tranquility, views, and peace that this cabin brings. Doves Rest was exactly what our family needed for a family getaway for Spring break. We loved visiting Palo Duro Canyon State park. A nust visit

    Our stay at the Dove’s Rest Fortress was like a dream! This place was beyond stunning! The pictures really can’t capture how beautiful the view really is. The views from the back patio are just breathtaking! The home is spacious and comfortable. Well stocked kitchen and lots of towels and blankets and toilet paper. Jeff is a super host! Very responsive and kind. He even had a bottle of champagne, and two keep-sake Dove Rest glasses waiting for us for a special occasion. John and Bambi

    Best view of the canyon as far as I am concerned. We had a snow storm while we were there and the house had everything to keep us warm and cozy. The trails were wonderful and the hot tub was a blessing after a 12 mile hike.

    The view, cabin, and hosts were amazing. I will return and stay in the same cabin. Each day was wonderful and breath taking. Just what we needed to relax and refresh our mind and soul.

    This house is fabulous, particularly the patio, porch and views. The house is comfortable and relaxing and is very private through its own secure gate. Constant cool breeze made even a warm afternoon pleasant and relaxing on the porch and it's about 5 mintues from the park entrance, so easy to go back and forth as needed. Wish I could have stayed longer!!

    Peaceful evenings with beautiful views. The communication with the owners is very easy and they are quick to respond. Wonderful welcome gift of sparkling cider and champagne with two complimentary flutes was a pleasant surprise. Definitely worth staying here when you visit the area.

    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
