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.

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.

Oh my goodness, what a GEM! We are a couple traveling from AZ to ID and then back home, so CO was an overnight stay to rest until we could get back on the road. All we needed was to eat and sleep and it was a pleasure to do both in this adorable bungalow. The owners are beyond wonderful, they reached out when it was needed and it was appreciated. The space was clean, and cute! And as the cook, the kitchen had all that I needed. The futon served its purpose - we ate our dinner on it while we watched an old John Wayne movie - it was PERFECT way to end a long day. All in all I highly recommend the space, there's nothing like standing at the kitchen sink seeing happy cows & horses living their best life.

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!

Nice stay at Farm Apartment

We stayed her two nights while visiting Mesa Verde NP. I was about 20 minutes to the entrance. We were able to do the tour without the dogs and pick them up for the afternoon of stopping at the beautiful vistas. The apartment had everything we needed for our short stay. It was comfortable and quiet. Will recommend it to friends.

A great escape from the ordinary.

Better than advertised. Quite small ranch setting that provided a home base from which we explored the surrounding 4 Corners area. Our host and hostess were helpful in providing brochures and trip advice. Tom also took time to invite me into his shop and show and explain his latest project. We highly recommend and extend a special thanks for our experience.
