Doves Rest Cabins - ChairLift, on the West Rim

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.

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.

Best place to unwind and relax!
We always stop here for a few days in between softball tournaments in Colorado and Dallas to relax and unwind. AMAZING views, wildlife everywhere, stars at night are unreal, and most of all quiet!! We have stayed in two units. The Fortress and Chairlift and both were fantastic. Go see the show one night at the state park!

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!!!!

Wonderful!
We are from Houston and wanted to spend a long weekend hiking in Palo Duro Canyon. I found this property on VRBO and fell in love with it. It more than met our expectations and was exactly as described in the listing - actually, better! The property owners are VERY friendly and responsive!! Our water went out one morning after a thunderstorm. We called and they told us "we're already on our way!" (apparently we were not the only cabin affected). The issue was fixed in 15 minutes and they even called back to confirm that we were back up and running. A wonderful excursion to the Texas Panhandle. Well worth the long drive, fellow Houstonians!!
