About this property

Doves Rest - ChairLift Cabin

  • This “aerial lift” of a cabin takes its name from the Sky Ride concession that operated at Palo Duro Canyon State Park in the 1960’s. The original ride’s abutment is sitting next to this cabin reminiscent of the good-old-by-gone-days when station wagons and family vacations were the norm, and state parks were a favorite place to take them. A series of chairlift seats moved excited park visitors from the canyon floor hundreds of feet above to the top of a mesa that can be seen below from this cabin. Now, excited ChairLift cabin guests unwind and enjoy magical moments at dawn and dusk when the golden light plays over the soaring cliffs and rock spires of Palo Duro. One of the best features of the fantastic view from this cabin is the interplay of blue sky, brick-red rock and lime-green vegetation. ChairLift is the perfect Palo Duro Escape for the nostalgic and adventuress traveler.



    ChairLift is a two-bedroom, two- full bath, in a very functional and cozy 1,000 sq. ft. design. The cabin features a wood burning fireplace, covered patio and built in Propane grill. 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.

Little things

Overall, fantasy stay. We are used to a few more kitchen items like leftover food containers, glad wrap, etc. Again, location was wonderful and “Chairlift” was just delightful.

Heaven on Earth

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this property. the view of Palo Duro was breath-taking. We loved sitting out on the patio in the morning and evening and enjoyed the breeze and the view. The house was lovely. Everything was so cute and comfortable. I was a little short of K-cups so I texted the owner and within an hour I had more. The kitchen was well equipped. The beds were very comfy. It was quiet yet not far from the Canyon and town.

Every stay is perfect!

We planned our cross country trip around the Dove’s Rest availability! We stayed at Dove’s Rest two years ago for the first time and absolutely loved it! The views of Palo Duro canyon are fantastic and the home is so very comfortably furnished! The hosts are excellent communicators! The home is perfect for families traveling with multiple generations as well as their pups! We saw wild sheep and longhorns. It is an easy drive to town for dinner or a short drive to the mercantile down the road for lunch! We can’t wait for our next trip back!

Perfect!

The cabin was lovely. I was worried about pets being allowed. But, couldn’t find any evidence. Super clean. Comfortable beds. Now, let’s talk about the view! It was very close to the edge of the canyon. The night was clear, not one cloud. It was the most beautiful sight of star gazing we have ever seen.

Incredible cabin

I can't say enough good thingd about the cabin. The host thought of everything. Beds and pillows were very comfortable. Everything you need to cook is in the kitchen. Days before arrival they reached out with info for a concierge service to prebuy your groceries, info on a horse trek and even a local masseuse. There was a very sweet welcome gift in the fridge on arrival which was above and beyond. The views of the sun rising over the canyon directly out your window are indescribable. We are already planning a return with friends and plan to rent multiple cabins. You need to stay here if you are planning a trip to Palo Duro Canyon.

A Little Slice of Heaven

We loved our view and the sense of privacy and isolation. Although there were neighboring properties one would never know it as they sat on the front porch overlooking the canyon. It was so peaceful. The location to the entrance to Palo Duro Canyon was just minutes away. The cabin was very clean and the management was very friendly and responsive. The only real complaint we might have had was that our trip was way too short and we didn’t get to spend as much time at the cabin just chilling and enjoying the view. I hope to go again with the intention of making up for that. Whatever you do, allow yourself some long mornings and evenings to just sit on the front porch enjoying the beautiful and peaceful view of the canyon.

Reunion with longtime friends in spectacular setting

We loved being by the canyon, the outdoor grill and the comfort of the couches that held us while we talked for hours gazing at the views. Kitchen well equipped, beautifully decorated, and comfortable beds (though a bit of a climb up into them for those of us who are a bit short.) Superb!!!!
