We loved our stay at the Red Pony! The host was prompt in all communication. I especially enjoyed visiting with the horses in and out of the barn. The baby goats were adorable! I enjoyed the early morning sunrises. Super nice folks! We will definitely go back next trip up to the mountain.

Beautiful and modern but rustic little loft apartment part of a horse barn. We didn’t hear the horses, and got to pet them each morning. No horse smell in the anpartment. Enjoyed the friendly little barn cats that greeted us at morning and night. Even the goats were friendly.

This was the perfect place for a getaway. The area was super clean, you fill invited as soon you walk in, and the friendly farm animals are an added bonus. The swing was the perfect place to spend our last morning reflecting on the weekend. Even though there were no issues at all, Ankara was quick to respond to our messages and was very accommodating. I couldn’t recommend this place enough, you won’t regret it.
The views were breathtaking.
Walking in to a peaceful weekend.

Excellent accommodations; Excellent hosts; Excellent experience!

We love this place! The accommodations were great and the hosts and family were very friendly and nice. We enjoyed the whole experience of getting to know the horses and barn cats. They were all beautiful animals and very friendly and gentle. Our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful and peaceful

We loved staying here. It was very quiet and peaceful. The barn cats were a joy. They would be at our feet as soon as we would open the door. The horses were a great sight every morning and evening. The location was fabulous for what we were doing in the area. Just for awareness the stairs are steep to the loft.

What a good find, a little different from your Comfort Inn room, staying and sleeping next to and in the same building where the horses are kept. Need to be willing to accept this is a working farm. Host was great, got to interact with animals. Only issue is with stairway to loft, very different

Beautiful Spot, Adorable apartment

The apartment is adorable, and VERY clean! Completely as advertised, this apartment is directly attached to a working horse barn. You can hear the horses munching and greeting their feeders in the early AM. Communication with host was excellent. If I'm traceling this way with my own horse I would definitely want to stay here for a least a night.

Perfect spot!

We are city folk who very spontaneously decided we wanted to get away and unplug. The host was very accommodating to our booking and so responsive to our questions. We do not know a lot about farm animals and we really wanted the experience. This place was perfect. It had all the creature comforts we needed but kept us close to all the animals. We watched dvds, pet the horses, fed the goats and played baseball in the field. Our dog, also a city dog was absolutely thrilled. We had him on a very long lead and he ran his heart out. Everything was super clean and we had everything we needed. They really thought of everything. We are so glad we found this spot and it did just what we hoped!
