About this property

Gorgeous Pet-friendly Boutique Ranch ! Next to skiing, fishing, rafting

Spacious, sunny, elegant home on 5 acres, nestled next to a 1000-acre nature preserve! A horse-lover's dream, convenient to our polo fields! Gorgeous scenery, big barn, pastures, Wi-Fi, pastures, pond. Enjoy seclusion with easy access to Aspen. Hike/ride into wilderness in 5 minutes!

Spectacular views, ample wildlife, watch the hawks, doves and deer from the patio. The "wall of windows" in the living room brings the outdoors in to you, with reflecting pond, aspen trees and green pastures at your fingertips. The rustic french provencale kitchen with oversize porcelain sink adds to the charm of the living space. Create your own gourmet event—perfect for entertaining!

Your hosts are elsewhere on property, and tend to the miniature goats, chickens, beehives, irrigation/ranch upkeep, but unless you have specific requests, you will rarely see them.

Ask us about gold medal fishing, white water rafting, mountain biking, hiking, horseback trail rides, the Aspen ideas Festival, food and wine, the rodeo, and John Denver’s wonderful nature preserve Windstar, right next door!

(Note: If you are looking for a Marriot /antiseptic/ hypoallergenic central AC set-up, head elsewhere. This is a ranch, with wildlife, domestic animals, birds, flying insects, and nature. Think of it as the best “Glamping” experience you could have.)

In winter, skiing at Snowmass is 19 minutes away, and winter hiking in a beautiful nature preserve is 5 minutes away!

Well-behaved dogs and children are welcome! (If you are leaving doggies for the day, please bring a crate for them)

Jewelry box cabin

This was like staying in my Aunts jewelry box. I mean this in the best ways. It’s was beyond charming upon arrival. Music and a bottle of wine. Well we enjoyed the music and the bro welcome. Our kids loved the water, goats and doggos. The art and interior are fascinating to see. Would definitely for people looking for a charming experience.

Fun and unique house

My family had a great stay at Painted Pony Ranch! We loved the warm atmosphere, the sweeping views from the living room, and the close proximity to skiing at Snowmass…and the goats! The kitchen was well equipped, the beds were very comfortable, and we enjoyed having movie night and watching the Super Bowl on the huge screen in the living room. Kevin is a thoughtful host who took care of every detail!

Perfect home for your stay in the mountains

This beautiful home was the perfect stay for my friends and me while on vacation to ski and see music in Aspen. Kevin is an incredible host and such a nice person. If I'm back in this area of Colorado, I won't be staying anywhere else!

Unique getaway in paradise

We loved our stay in gorgeous Old Snowmass and felt right at home in this charming property complete with goats and chickens. Our host was responsive and the house had everything we needed. Close to both Aspen and Basalt and more spectacular hikes than we could fit in in 2 quick weeks! Would love to visit again.

As described- fun getaway

Property is just as described. No surprises. We enjoyed Kevin’s hospitality, the dogs and goats. We wanted a place to get away from usual plugged in lifestyle while not being too far away from it and this place did the trick. Our 3 yo enjoyed the stay too.

Fun at the Painted Pony

The Painted Pony is in a beautiful setting. We and our dog enjoyed the property. We really like this location as it's close to Aspen, Basalt, and Carbondale with their gorgeous scenery and many hiking opportunities to burn off the calories from all the good food. The host, Kevin, is very helpful and we really enjoyed our conversations with him.

Just What We Were Looking For!

Wonderful stay! I booked this property for an associate on assignment for our company. It was exactly as described and exactly what our associate had been looking for. The host was great to work with and very accommodating. We could not have asked for anything more. Our stay was even extended at the last minute. Again, a wonderful stay!

Peaceful farmhouse

This property is exactly as it states! It was wonderful! Sitting by the pond or in the hammock to the birds chirping and friendly dogs and goats coming up for loving and petting was so relaxing. It was a great way to unwind. We were there for the mother lode volleyball tournament in Aspen and it was a close drive away!! Kevin was so great and friendly!!

Our perfect stay and wedding!!

Our stay here was AMAZING. The home is so cute and cozy. It was so fun having the chickens, goat and dogs roaming around, they’re very friendly so don’t be scared! The owner Kevin had great communication, he kindly allowed my now husband and I to have our wedding reception here and I couldn’t have asked for a better location. Our entire friends and family were in awe of everything. Kevin, thank you again for being so welcoming and allowing us to have our event here. For anyone looking to have an intimate party I highly recommend booking here! We’ll definitely be coming back!

Fun cozy stay

We loved are time at the painted pony ranch! Setting was beautiful and we loved All the windows. Was great to come home to a quiet remote spot and cook a nice meal. Proximity to snowmass ski was excellent. It took about 10 minute drive to brush creek lot and then the public transit from there up to ski is awesome. We loved the goats - they were so cute and funny! Oh and the host even left us a bottle of wine. What a treat! We can’t wait to come back!

Cozy country cabin

Fantastic country cabin about 10 miles to SnowMass ski resort. Fully stocked kitchen, goats on property made for fun memories for the kids. Only thing to keep in mind if you're not local, is that there's a very curvy and somewhat steep road that you must take to get to the resort. In the winter they apparently do not scrape the snow off down to the pavement like they do on the East coast (only some type of gravel/sand treatment), so prepare by renting an AWD SUV.
