I was born and raised in Southern California and attended college at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. I followed my husband to Colorado for a job in 2007 and fell in love with the Rocky Mountains. My first trip to Little Pony was in 2015 as a traveler. I was on a month long camping trip with my 2 kids and my Bernese Mountain Dog. I decided I needed a break from the tent and wanted a place to wash up and recharge while in Steamboat. I fell in love with Little Pony, the Yampa River, Steamboat Springs, Laundry, Fuzziwig's, Old Town Hot Springs and Howelsen Hill. On checkout, I asked the wonderful host to let me know if she would ever consider selling it. I got the call four years later in 2019 and didn't hesitate. I am so grateful and blessed and proud to be the owner of Little Pony now.
I am an avid skier, but at the time I bought Little Pony, I had never skied in Steamboat Springs, nor been there in the winter. I have since fixed that and now fully appreciate and understand the draw of Steamboat's famous champagne powder.
I have also tried just about every restaurant in downtown and on Mt Werner. I continue to strive to try them all - it is a wonderfully enjoyable pursuit.
My new favorite things to do in Steamboat are attending concerts at the Strings Music Festival, visiting the friendly, state of the art library next door to Little Pony, and horseback riding on Howelsen Hill.
It is my dream to live full time at Little Pony. Until then, I love sharing the magic of my special place with travelers.
