Privacy in the mountains
Lots of local activities in the area
NO Pet fees
NO minimum stay
NO additional guest fees. Fully stocked kitchen. Extra fridge and freezer and washer and dryer located in the barn
Dogs must be leashed at all times due to abundant wildlife and my horses. If your dogs are to be left unattended in the cabin they must be crated…. unfortunately, I needed to make this decision because just recently a Guest’s dog with separation anxiety broke through the window, gouged my antique door, chewed a comforter, scratched the floor, etc., etc., and busted out
Communication is important when bringing your dogs so that we can chat back-and-forth so my dogs aren’t out when your dogs are out
Happy to help in any way I can. I also have a few dog crates available if necessary.
Thanks Diana

Diana’s cabin, located between Ridgway and Montrose, was peaceful and quiet. The size was great for the two of us and our small dog. Diana was very responsive to our questions, loaned us her folding chairs, and was easy to communicate with. We would definitely consider staying at this location again in the future.

We spent a week at Red Pony Cabin located among the beautiful western Colorado mountains near Ridgway. The hostess was charming and helpful. The cabin was well stocked with linens and kitchen items. A good place to be away from the Texas heat. Until next time, hasta la vista.

The host is very communicative and friendly. The cottage is cozy, clean, and well-equipped. We enjoyed visiting with her dogs and farm animals, as well as the remote location. The drive to Ouray, Ridgway, and Montrose are fairly quick and easy - there is a windy uphill and some dirt road from the highway to the cottage but the roads are well-maintained with very light traffic.

This cabin checked all the boxes for me. It was secluded, private and super easy to unload my stuff as there is a parking spot ten steps from the entry.Sitting on the porch at sunset, looking at the sky and listening to nothing more than the sounds of birds each of my three evenings there was meditative and peaceful.Wish I could have stayed longer..

Great cabin, great location!

The perfect cabin when a quiet getaway is needed. I loved that it's off the beaten path and the petting zoo is a super cool extra. The owner is onsite and easily reachable if necessary. I can't recommend this place enough. Very easy and scenic drive to Ridgway and Ouray as well.

Charming cottage with stunning views

Cute cottage with awesome views of the San Juan Mountains—uncompahgre peak, Sneffels, etc. Eight horses, ducks, goats, a pig in the petting zoo. Host Diana was a delight to work with. We knew the location so brought food rather than drive into Montrose or Ridgway for meals. Hope to get back for a Fall leaf season visit in Ouray County.

Absolutely Gorgeous

Really enjoyed this part of Colorado. The property has gorgeously views. Stars galore at night!! It’s a little out of the way from places but I think that is part of the charm. Diane was only a text away. Friendly and helpful. Would absolutely stay there again!!

Secluded mountain getaway

The property is quaint. It is very secluded and it takes 30 minutes to get to Rigeway. The property is clean and looks just like the photos. You can sleep with the windows open in summer and we would definitely recommend this property!

Perfect. Far away yet close enough.

The cottage was cozy, comfortable, and had all the essentials. We were far away from the crowds, yet close to everything. Ridgway in one direction and Montrose in the other. Getting to Silverton, Ouray, and Telluride was easy. Taking the passes and coming back to the cottage was perfect for us. Natural beauty all around us. Diana was kind and helpful. Taking the passes

Just a little peace and quiet

This was exactly what me and my girls needed. The cabin was exactly what you see. The cabin is perfect for a romantic getaway or just some good family time.. We roasted marshmallows and enjoyed the petting zoo. We will be going back and staying as long as we can! Diana is an amazing host! If you need anything or don't want to be bothered she is understanding.

I’ve been in the horse business my whole life
Now I mostly try to help rescue horses
As well as
Try to foster and place dogs
I love animals

Why they chose this property

The property is a great location because you’re close to Ridgway and you’re close to montrose………. you’re close to so many mountains and parks and ski areas there is a vast number of activities for everyone to enjoy!
The property is on a private road on a private farm of 40 acres
We have trails petting zoo horses and dogs

What makes this property unique

I think it’s unique because it feels so private and you can see the stars at night…… it’s a dead-end private dirt road
you feel like you’re really away from things but you’re just 25 minutes to an airport or a Walmart
45 minutes to Telluride
30 minutes to Ouray
20 minutes to Ridgway
