Nocona Lodge, pays homage to Chief Quanah Parker Nocona, the last of the Quahada Comanche warriors who dominated the High Plains in the 1800's. Battle of Palo Duro Canyon was @ 20-miles east in September 1874. This battle brought an official end to the U.S./Indian wars, and the eventual peace that finally allowed settlers to occupy this last remaining freedom-outpost of “uncivilized” land in North America.
Price listed is for 6 Guests of ANY AGE.
For 7-8 guests, add on $50/night, per guest. MAXIMUM 8 Guests (Adults/Children).
**Since majority of our guests have only 2-4 in their group, have kept our rates considerably lower ($100-$300/night less) than other 3-bedroom properties in the area. So groups of 8 will pay the competitive rate for Palo Duro Canyon Rim properties.
Property is in a wonderful area
Great property and hosts! Truly outstanding!
Beverly and Phillip are amazing hosts. Their home is beautiful and comfortable set in the stunning scenery of the canyonlands of the Texas panhandle complete with jaw-dropping sunrises and sunsets. (If you visit, you will understand that these adjectives are appropriate!) We are into food and the kitchen is the most well-equipped of any we have used. The home is so well located: 5 minutes from Paloduro Duro State Park, close to Canyon with the all-encompassing Plains Panhandle Museum, 1.5 hours from Caprock Canyons State Park and a mile-long host list of other activities we could not fit in. Fantastic stay! Many thanks to Beverly and Phillip for the hospitality and for sharing their home!
Excellent care and service by Beverly. She really went above and beyond to provide not only everything we needed, but extra touches. She made fresh guacamole, left wine, cookies, snacks and plenty of firewood, starter kits, etc. She was there to greet us and spent an hour showing our team where everything was. Beverly was responsive to any questions we had during our stay. There were SO many extras with this unit including games in the garage, a smoker and of course the pickleball court was over the top! I would go back in a heartbeat!
Took 4 friends to the canyon and loved the place! Excellent location to the park and everything was clean and organized for a hassle free stay.
Loved, loved, loved the house. Location is just 5 minutes from Palo Duro Canyon State Park. The home is decorated in southwest style, was very comfy and very well-stocked. We were even allowed to park in the garage. The highlight was the Aoudad Sheep that came to visit each day. Well, they really came to be fed, but that was part of the fun. Our host was exceptional. She met us at the property, showed us around and even served us margaritas, guacamole and chips. She went over and above any host I have ever had.
This house exceeded our expectations! Beverly went above and beyond! From the spicy margaritas to the homemade guacamole delicious!! Kids had had a blast riding bicycles, pickle ball (for the first time) to cornhole! You can’t forget the amazing views!! All being Minutes from the state park!!
The house is so comfortable, you have all you need plus a magnificent view on the canyon. We really enjoyed the house decor and the backyard. Owner super nice, welcomed us with treats and helped us organizing our days. I would recommend it!
Great time in a relaxing place
Just returned from a few days overlooking Palo Duro Canyon in the Texas panhandle. Nacona Lodge is the perfect place to do that. The kitchen os stocked with anything a visiting group might need. The beds are extremely comfortable. Everything works. But the best part is that the hosts are the BEST hosts you could ever want. We had plenty of information to enjoy the area and we had hosts who wanted our stay to be the best. I highly recommend Nacona Lodge and Palo Duro Canyon.
Great return trip to Nocona. Beverly is a wonderful host. Greeted us with guacamole and margaritas! Home is comfortable, stocked with whatever you may need, and nicely decorated. We enjoyed visiting barbary sheep and birds - very peaceful. Enjoyed the Texas musical, canyon jeep tour, and Midpoint Cafe on route 66. Honey buzz winery was great too. Next trip, hope to tour the local museum and get back to local shops. Thanks again for a great trip!
Fabulous time for all. Palo Duro is breathtaking. We took a keep tour, saw the musical in the park, visited Caprock canyon and saw Bison, prairie dogs and roadrunners. Best of all sitting and relaxing on patio and watching the views, feeding the aodad sheep, mule deer and birds! Beautiful home decorated perfectly. And….the beds were wonderful. Beverly met us and greeted us with homemade margaritas and guacamole. She made the experience! Thank you Beverly!
