Wonderful stay in a serene location!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Painted Pony Ranch! The property and surrounding location are as beautiful and relaxing as it gets, while being close enough to the surrounding towns for restaurants/groceries/etc. Kevin is an extremely friendly and accommodating host. The place was equipped with everything we needed for a long weekend stay. Thanks so much!

Perfect home for your stay in the mountains

This beautiful home was the perfect stay for my friends and me while on vacation to ski and see music in Aspen. Kevin is an incredible host and such a nice person. If I'm back in this area of Colorado, I won't be staying anywhere else!

Unique getaway in paradise

We loved our stay in gorgeous Old Snowmass and felt right at home in this charming property complete with goats and chickens. Our host was responsive and the house had everything we needed. Close to both Aspen and Basalt and more spectacular hikes than we could fit in in 2 quick weeks! Would love to visit again.

Fun and unique house

My family had a great stay at Painted Pony Ranch! We loved the warm atmosphere, the sweeping views from the living room, and the close proximity to skiing at Snowmass…and the goats! The kitchen was well equipped, the beds were very comfortable, and we enjoyed having movie night and watching the Super Bowl on the huge screen in the living room. Kevin is a thoughtful host who took care of every detail!

Wonderful stay! I booked this property for an associate on assignment for our company. It was exactly as described and exactly what our associate had been looking for. The host was great to work with and very accommodating. We could not have asked for anything more. Our stay was even extended at the last minute. Again, a wonderful stay!

Fun at the Painted Pony

The Painted Pony is in a beautiful setting. We and our dog enjoyed the property. We really like this location as it's close to Aspen, Basalt, and Carbondale with their gorgeous scenery and many hiking opportunities to burn off the calories from all the good food. The host, Kevin, is very helpful and we really enjoyed our conversations with him.

As described- fun getaway

Property is just as described. No surprises. We enjoyed Kevin’s hospitality, the dogs and goats. We wanted a place to get away from usual plugged in lifestyle while not being too far away from it and this place did the trick. Our 3 yo enjoyed the stay too.

Jewelry box cabin

This was like staying in my Aunts jewelry box. I mean this in the best ways. It’s was beyond charming upon arrival. Music and a bottle of wine. Well we enjoyed the music and the bro welcome. Our kids loved the water, goats and doggos. The art and interior are fascinating to see. Would definitely for people looking for a charming experience.

Peaceful farmhouse

This property is exactly as it states! It was wonderful! Sitting by the pond or in the hammock to the birds chirping and friendly dogs and goats coming up for loving and petting was so relaxing. It was a great way to unwind. We were there for the mother lode volleyball tournament in Aspen and it was a close drive away!! Kevin was so great and friendly!!
