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. Ouray County short term rental license number STR – 2–2024–024

The host reached out shortly after booking with all check-in information and was willing to answer questions leading up to our stay. She was very communicative during our stay and the property was as described
Property was lovely and hosts were very nice. Shared some tasty eggs from their chickens. Cabin was quirky, and kitchen had all appliances, for a one night stay it would have been great to have some bulk cooking things like oil and such, I guess I misinterpreted fully stocked a bit, which is more on me.

Ryan, so sorry you felt your night was only four star
This was mid November when my season is over.
And you’re paying half price in the off-season.
The Cabin is stocked with mustard, mayonnaise ketchup, salt, pepper, spices, 10 types of tea, two types of coffee and of course farm fresh eggs. Usually I do have oil or butter there in the summer along with half-and-half for the coffee
When reading the description what I meant by “fully stocked, kitchen” is complete set of dishware, cutlery, tea kettle, sauce pans, spatula, scissors, cork screws, paper towel, utensils for the grill, a set of cutting knives… aluminum foil, Ziploc bags, coffee filters, Tupperware, dog bowls, ninja blender, strainer, cutting board…….ETC
I would’ve thought someone that I allowed to stay several hours after checkout would’ve given me five stars
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.
Place was perfect for what we needed! Beautiful location. Walking trails were great to stretch the legs. The petting zoo was a perfect addition! Host was welcoming and super personable! Would recommend and stay again if in the area!
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..
Our host was so accommodating and welcoming. The cottage was very clean and well equipped. The host took time to introduce her petting zoo animals to my kids. Lovely stay! Thank you!
We had a great stay! The cabin was chic, cozy, clean and comfortable with everything we needed on hand. The location was beautiful and the goats were so cute and friendly! Diana was unobtrusive and yet great fun to talk to while she introduced us to her petting zoo critters! Recommend this spot for sure!
Diana is a wonderful hostess and her cottage is charming. The location is on the plateau near Ridgway & Montrose. It's secluded yet convenient. I heartily recommend it.
This is a lovely cabin on a beautiful private farm. Diana is very hospitable, friendly and easy to get ahold of. Loved petting her animals! Would definitely recommend a stay here!
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.
This was exactly what we were looking for. The property is beautiful and well maintained. Baby proof for my grandson. Diana was awesome. I would definitely stay here again.
Able to eat most our meals there & close to all the hiking & exploring we wanted to do. Quiet nights except coyotes howling in the distance. Diana was great to work with.
Super clean and comfortable. Starry night skies surrounded by nature. Host went above and beyond helping us have a wonderful stay. Short drive to Ouray, Ridgeway and Montrose. We’ll be back.
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!!
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!

Hosted by Diana Califano
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
