Hudspeth House Bed & Breakfast Inn

We stayed at the Hudspeth House while visiting Palo Duro Canyon. This was probably the best bed and breakfast I have ever stayed at and would highly recommend it to anyone who is visiting Canyon.
Hosts: Jill and Van are very friendly and make you feel welcome and at home from the moment you get there.
Breakfast: There is a home cooked breakfast each morning. It begins with Van saying grace and is followed by yogurt with granola and the breakfast entrée. During our stay we had french toast, biscuits, eggs– all very delicious. I do wish the breakfasts could include more fruits and veggies to make them a bit healthier, as I am not a huge fan of eating only flour and sugar for breakfast. Either way, the breakfast is still pretty delicious. By the end of our stay Van even remembered the type of tea I would drink each morning and brought it out for me during breakfast– a really nice touch indicating that they do care about and pay attention to their guests.
Afternoon: Between 4−6PM cookies and tea are served. The cookies are homemade and absolutely delicious. I’m not sure what kind of tea they were serving, but it was pretty delicious also.
Home: The home is beautiful and tastefully decorated. Outside there are rocking chairs and a swing– perfect for sitting out in the evening. There is also a book shelf full of books, games, and puzzles. The history behind the home is quite interesting.
Room: The room we stayed in was all the way upstairs and had a claw foot tub. Really nicely decorated and the bed was very comfortable. The floors are a little creaky, but that just seems to add more character to the home. Free wifi in the rooms.
Location: Only about 15 minutes down the street from Palo Duro Canyon. The Canyon park entrance is located on the same street as the Hudspeth House.
I do wish there was a Hudspeth House at all my travel destinations. I would love to stay there again.

Beautiful home with lovely large rooms. Friendly hosts: just the right amount of attention. Our room and my parents room both were large and airy with ensuite baths. Beds were comfy and linens, towels and toiletries were top notch. Close to Palo Duro Canyon state park, so Hudspeth House is a nice place to return to after a hike or seeing «Texas».

This is a warm and comfortable historical home to stay in while visiting in the canyon. Jill greeted us smiling and so friendly, showed us around the house, offered drinks and fresh cookies. She filled us in on some of the local restaurants, places to visit such as the Panhandle Historical Museum that we might have missed. Later in our stay, Van had a fabulous drive suggestion that turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip.
The house is nicely decorated and our bedroom-​so comfortable and pleasant. The room we enjoyed our stay in was the O’Keeffe. It’s beautiful, charming, has a claw footed tub, and yet has high speed internet and a flat screen tv.
The wonderful breakfast each morning was served at an elegantly set table and multi courses. We enjoyed coffee in the living area beforehand with other guests. In addition, coffee was ready early to enjoy an hour before breakfast was served.
The location is great. We were minutes from Palo Duro Canyon, able to walk to two restaurants, Mexican and Thai spots that were both good.
This is definitely the place to stay when visiting in the canyon.

My mother has a tiny, dusty summer cabin near Canyon, Texas where the whole family gets together during the summer. I spent every summer in this cabin as a child and it holds a very special spot in my heart. Unfortunately, my husband does not harbor such near and dear feelings for the family summer home. This year I decided to spare my patient, sweet husband the pain of being crammed into this little shack with his in-​laws and booked a room at the Hudspeth House B&B.
Just so you understand, I was taking quite a risk — my mother was not exactly ecstatic that we were staying away from the rest of the family (a guilt trip bonanza occurred). And, my husband made a sour face when I said Bed and Breakfast — we have had some bad experiences in the past. I was feeling the pressure. Needless to say, it was all worth it. The Hudspeth House surpassed my expectations.
Our flight was late but the owners, Jill and Van, politely made accommodations in their schedule to greet us and show us around. The abundance of southern hospitality was apparent and a welcome change after our miserable day dealing with the airlines.
The house was beautiful and spotless. The décor was charming without being tacky or over the top. A big southern-​style front porch, complete with rocking chairs was a definite plus — a great place to relax at the end of the day and chat with other guests.
Our room held the same feel — clean, neat, and just the right amount of decoration. There were plenty of clean towels and pillows. We had cable TV and wireless internet. The icing on the cake was a claw-​foot tub in the giant bathroom. I even had a little dressing table to do my makeup.
Every morning at 8:30am there was a full breakfast. This was not a skimpy pile of bagels or scones — one morning we had orange french toast, the next morning we had a breakfast casserole. Every breakfast included yogurt, granola, bacon, coffee, and fresh juices. We chatted with our fellow guests at breakfast — a nice way to start your day.
I can’t say enough good things about our stay at the Hudspeth House. Maybe I have lived in the city for too long, but the southern hospitality and customer service I felt was long overdue. If you are cruising across the country via I-​40 (Route 66) and want to stay in a cute little town and have a lovely experience, check this place out.
