About this property

This updated home sits at the end of a ranch property with the owner's home nearby. Beautiful views of Grand Mesa and the Adobe Buttes are the backdrop of this serene valley. Watch an occasional horseback rider in the arena outside the front porch, listen to the sounds of Tongue Creek and Surface Creek from the back patio, or enjoy a bonfire under the stars! Feel free to walk the grounds and enjoy the peaceful setting on 70 acres. This 2 bedroom ranch house accommodates 4 adults comfortably with a pull out couch for additional guests. Our "petting zoo" includes chickens, 5 Nigerian Dwarf Goats (who LOVE attention) and a miniature horse named "Johnny Cash". For a small $25 fee, kids under 50lbs can request a 30 minute ride lead by one of the property owners. Parents are encouraged to walk alongside and take some photos! Feel free to walk around and meet anywhere between 18-25 horses at the ranch, spread out over several separate corral spaces. Most of them love the attention and each has a unique story that adds a personal touch to our home in the valley. This is a true Colorado experience for young and old alike.

Cute and Cozy

This property made our trip to CO so fun! We loved the animals and location. Kitchen was well stocked with cookware and staples/supplies. Owners are super friendly and responsive. No hot tub as advertised, but we visited Ouray, which was well worth it.

Rossignol-Adams Stay

The experience was fantastic. First, the bungalow was immaculate. Extremely well maintained, comfortable, and very clean. We had 4 adults and 4 dogs in our party and there was plenty of space for all of us. Secondly, the location was picturesque. The bungalow was surrounded by mature trees, beautiful, landscaped yard and to top it off, an active stream only a few yards beyond the backyard. Thirdly, it was quiet and secluded, yet only a few miles from town, for convenient access to stores and restaurants. Barb and Dave do it right!! Tom and Connie Rossignol. P.S. We enjoyed the area and people so much, that we have elevated this area to the top of our list of potential retirement locations.

About the host

Hosted by David Cocetti

David and Barb are owners of Tongue Creek Ranch. Tongue Creek Ranch is a hay and alfalfa farm that also hosts up to 25 horses in various corrals on site. In the late fall and winter you will see cows grazing in the hay fields at this 70 acre ranch. David is a retired firefighter and now manages the property. Barb worked at Douglas County School District for nearly 20 years and is now enjoying her role as hostess of the three on-site VRBO rentals. We welcome you to enjoy the beautiful setting of Tongue Creek Ranch and explore the sights of the Western Slope!

Why they chose this property

Tongue Creek Ranch is a peaceful place to un-wind. We encourage our guests to walk around the 70 acre property as long as they stay clear of livestock and/or feeding any of the animals on site. Visitors may also pet the horses as long as the owners are available or can arrange for someone to be with them. The horse owners welcome you to watch them train whenever they're out and about. Be sure to meet our 5 Nigerian Dwarf Goats and chickens in our little petting zoo. We recently added a miniature horse named "Johnny Cash" which is a favorite for kids! For a small fee, one of the owners will lead children (under 50lbs) around the park area on Johnny Cash, complete with his little saddle and bridle! Just ask the owners if you'd like to go into the pens to meet them and get some great photos!

What makes this property unique

The Western Slope is a unique location with a wide variety of sites and attractions. Any outdoor enthusiast will love to explore the Grand Mesa (with over 300 lakes) for hiking, skiing, snowmobiling, hunting, sledding, fishing or site-seeing. You might also like to visit one of the nearby national parks (the Black Canyon of the Gunnison or the Colorado National Monument). Mountain Bike trails abound in this area including the "Palisade Plunge" which begins at the top of the Grand Mesa National Forest for 32 miles of downhill single-track, adrenaline-pumping action. This is a 6,000 foot descent through pristine public lands that end in Palisade. You'll want a glass of wine after that! There are also many quaint mountain towns such as Paonia, Ridgeway and Ouray that offer unique shopping, dinning, wineries, breweries, hot springs, art classes and museums. Telluride is a 2-hour trip south and is an iconic mountain town with world-class skiing, hiking and fishing. Many guests have also ventured 2 1/2 hours to Moab for some more great sight-seeing and adventures. Stay with us and choose your path for a great get-away!
