Fully stocked kitchen, goats on property made for fun memories for the kids. Only thing to keep in mind if you're not local, is that there's a very curvy and somewhat steep road that you must take to get to the resort. In the winter they apparently do not scrape the snow off down to the pavement like they do on the East coast (only some type of gravel/sand treatment), so prepare by renting an AWD SUV. ##### Laura K.

We love the outdoors and we love animals! It was like "glamping" and we wouldn't have had it any other way. Far enough away from town to be out of the city, but close enough to get groceries or explore easily. The only thing we would have changed is being able to stay longer!! We miss the dogs, goats, chickens, and horses already! ##### Nicholas G. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bill g.

What a special place. It makes for a perfect mountain getaway, complete with starry skies and abundant wildlife. We were greeted by two sweet pups and two curious goats. The house has cool architecture and was clean and welcoming. It's ideal for family time, with a large kitchen/dining/living area and two bedrooms off the main area. The beds were comfortable and we all slept well. The owner, Kevin, gave us some great tips for dinner in Basalt, which is worth a visit.

Classical music set the welcoming tone for our arrival and the home was wonderfully lit and prepared for us. The home itself was beautiful with a unique architecture and interesting artwork. Although we didn't need or use much, it appeared that it was equipped with everything that we might need for our stay. Their was also a small book to greet us which provided all necessary details for our stay and recommendations for the surrounding area. The location was ideal. We were adventuring during the daytime to Marble, Snowmass, and Aspen. The ranch was wonderfully situated to provide us a short drive for our daily excursions and a quiet and comfortable escape in the evenings. One of the highlights of the property for my children especially (but also for me I must admit), was being greeted daily by Hamlet, Ophelia, and Tikka...Buddy showed us some love occasionally as well. Very sweet animal residents that were very gentle and patient with the kids (to include a rambunctious 4 year old). Although we didn't have the pleasure of meeting our host, Kevin, directly, he was very quick to respond through the VRBO app. It was clear that a lot of care and attention to detail had been put into making this home a welcoming and peaceful retreat. Highly recommend this host and The Painted Pony if you're looking for a unique and quiet VRBO in the Aspen/Snowmass area. We hope to visit again in the future. Thank you for hosting! ##### H K. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul G., Chicago Jul 21, 2018 #### Ranch Glamping We stayed five nights at the Painted Pony Ranch. The scenery is all you imagine when thinking abut a western frontier ranch. The house was interesting, with open concept and one glass wall allowing us to enjoy the views. I am rating this place as five stars because it was represented accurately. We visited with our dog and came for hiking and biking so the ranch was perfect for us. I am mentioning this because this setting might not be a five star experience for every VRBO participant. It is exactly how Kevin represented it - it is glamping. The beds were comfortable and the bedding and towels were clean. There was a projection TV, stereo and WiFi. There was grill available for us to use and the kitchen was sort of equipped enough to cook and make a meal. But the cleanliness of the house was lacking. Also, if you stay at the ranch you need to be ok with four dogs visiting you frequently and curiously peaking through the door. Kevin was very nice and responsive; quick to respond to every question. We would definitely stay there again. Thank you. ##### Paul G. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### M Bridgid R. Oct 11, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Beautiful location near Aspen Good location of property with animals wondering about-chickens, goats and other dogs! Would caution other dog owners that if your dog is not use to farm animals, it might be a bit stressful, same with small children. There’s a pound in the backyard, stay vigilant! Not a fan of NOT being able to lock either sliding glass door. It just felt unsafe, not just from humans but wildlife-bear intruders. Trash is not secure or in bear proof trash area! It’s right outside of unlocked sliding glass door. Unit is very exposed to outside with large glass windows with no privacy shades or curtains. It gets uncomfortably hot during the day. There is no over head lighting which is also strange and dark at night (only lamps scattered about). Property could use a good deep clean! View from windows would be spectacular if they were clean!! Kitchen and bathrooms were not clean on arrival. Dishwasher is not properly installed. Coffee maker was broken. As far as other VRBOs, the personal toiletries in bathroom and leftover kitchen spices and other food items were not expected or welcome. Not a standard VRBO kitchen or bathroom which is void of other people’s stuff. There is no TV or cable to unit. It would be nice to have the option of a TV in main room and bedrooms. Let visitors decide to watch TV or go without. Overall, this could be an outstanding VRBO in the Aspen area but it needs some TLC, major cleaning and updates to compete with other VRBOs in the area! ##### M Bridgid R.
