About this property

Adorable private bungalow on quiet horse and hay farm near Mesa Verde

Just 3 miles north of Cortez near Hwy 491, this quiet ranch retreat offers a fully furnished equine themed guest apartment with generous parking. One queen bed and a full-sized futon can sleep up to 4 comfortably. Make lavish meals in the full kitchen or check out several fantastic restaurants in town. Enjoy panoramic views of Sleeping Ute Mountain and Mesa Verde. Keep an eye out for bald and golden eagles. Don’t be surprised if the horses wander by to greet you! Ideal central base camp for mountain bike Mecca Phil’s World, Sand Canyon, Boggy Draw and more! Well-behaved dogs are welcome for a small fee. We offer simple, zero contact check-in so all you need to do is arrive and relax! Our driveway is circular and can easily accommodate large trailers and moving vans.

The guest quarters consists of a private 1 bedroom 1 bath apartment with a complete kitchen that sits adjacent to our shop. There is a fold out full-sized futon in the living room to accommodate additional guests with a flat screen TV and excellent WiFi. Please do not leave your pet unattended inside the apartment or allow him/her on the furniture as other guests may have allergy issues.

Short-term horse boarding is available with a 100’ x 200’ outdoor riding arena. We also have 30 amp RV hookups and trailer parking. Ask us for details.

We live onsite in a separate residence and are always available by text or phone calls. We're happy to help with any questions or concerns but like to give guests their space. If you need advice on local mountain bike/hiking trails or where to play pickleball in town, just ask!

The house was very clean and had everything we needed. It was a secure location which was important to us since we had equipment in our truck and trailer. Would definitely suggest to others in particular traveling out west to hunt.

We really enjoyed our stay at the RedRoan ranch bungalow outside Cortez, CO. It was absolutely perfect for myself, wife and our 2 puppy dogs. The bungalow was immaculately clean, bright, tastefully decorated, had everything needed and was comfortable. Tom and Karly were wonderful hosts and even handled a couple special requests for us. We enjoyed watching the horses and cattle and the location just a few miles outside Cortez was great - only about a 7 or 8 minute drive to get to numerous restaurants, grocery stores,etc. And we also appreciated the quietness at the bungalow. We would have no hesitation and would definitely stay at this property again if in the area.

Cozy Guest House Near Horses and Nature

We loved our stay at this charming guest house in the countryside near Cortez, Colorado. The property is very comfortable and cozy—perfect for relaxing and unplugging. It's located near the horse corral, adding a special touch to the rural setting. What we enjoyed the most was the spectacular view and the incredibly peaceful and quiet atmosphere. It is an ideal place to unwind and enjoy nature. We would come back!

Perfect one every way!

My husband and I stayed here for 10 days while we explored the Four Corners area. The location, accommodations, the hosts, and the proximity to all the Four Corners has to offer could not have been better. We cannot imagine a better place to stay.

It looks nice in the pictures, but its on a horse ranch and were fighting flies on the wall and ceilings of the apt. The apt is part of a working barn. Not a pleasant experience for us.

A wonderful stay! Quiet, clean and a very friendly host. Just far enough out of Cortez to relax and get away from the traffic and noise. We would highly recommend staying here & will keep this on our list if we travel in that area again. Thank you to the hosts for providing a very accurate description and a truly enjoyable stay.

About the host

Karly and I love the southwest and spend our free time exploring new places on mountain bikes or horses. When we’re home you’re likely to find us irrigating pasture or working cattle. Come check out the ranch!

Why they chose this property

Quiet farm and ranch neighborhood very close to town and Phil’s World mountain bike trails

What makes this property unique

Bald eagles, golden eagles, and ravens love to hang out in the neighboring cottonwoods. Quiet nights with the occasional hooting owl.
