About this property

Come relax and enjoy this serene mountain ranch nestled between Glenwood Springs and Carbondale, Colorado. The elegant western log home has ample sleeping quarters, a large, open, well-outfitted kitchen, and extra living space with 2 living areas and a large recreation room including a pool table, ping pong table and foosball! NOTE: List price is for 2 guests- additional guests $50 per guest per night.
The property is situated amidst a small working ranch with a caretaker visiting to work the hay fields, vegetable, fruit and flower gardens, and take care of this unique property so that it remains productive as well as beautifully maintained. When the season is right, you are welcome to enjoy vegetables from the garden and fruit from on-site fruit trees.
Whether you are coming to the valley to ski, raft, fish, hike, mountain bike, road bike, or just relax, you will find it all here. Glenwood Springs, offering 2 excellent rivers for rafting or gold medal fishing, hot springs, and a hill top amusement park is just 15 minutes away. Aspen with world-class skiing, shopping and dining is only 45 minutes away.
After all the fun, return to a quiet country oasis.

Because we want to make sure this is just the right experience for you and because it is in the middle of a working ranch, a Short Term Rental Agreement will be sent to you and signature required before reservation will be accepted. It is our goal to help you enjoy the property as much as possible amidst the ranching going on and the other aspects of a Colorado mountain property. Please do not hesitate to be in touch with any questions, either in booking or during your visit. We love this ranch and hope you will too for however long you can stay!

Perfect Get Away

Super home with all the amenities and plenty of space to spread out. We came from three different states to spend time with family - so hard to get together but this was an ideal location and the home made it even more enjoyable. We discovered something new every day! Was perfect and owner easy to communicate with from beginning to end.

Rancho Deluxe!

We were 3 senior couples staying for 4 nights in September and had so much fun at the ranch. What I really liked were all the spaces to sit outside on the numerous decks or play games in the game room. We all had room to spread out and have time to ourselves. After a day out seeing the sights we always looked forward to an evening at the ranch. Simple beautiful!!!

Rustic Elegance

Beautiful log home on a small, meticulously kept ranch. Perfect location for visits to Glenwood Springs, Carbondale, and Aspen. Home is cozy and inviting, and layout allows for family gathering time as well as areas for quiet separation. Daily visits from a flock of turkeys, and wonderful vegetables from the garden. Communication and check in were excellent. A beuatiful gem in the Roaring Fork Valley.

Amazing property and experience!!

Four adults and four teens had a wonderful experience staying at Mandy's place in Carbondale! We loved the game room and activities provided as well as the very clean and thoughtful accommodations! We cooked in most breakfasts and dinners and enjoyed the well equipped kitchen. Mandy let us harvest fresh veggies from the large garden which was amazing! Also, the location was wonderful for relaxing in a quiet local after enjoying all the activities that Glenwood Springs and Carbondale have to offer! Excellent communication from the host and very accomodating! This house and experience exceeded our expectations!!

House with Everything

When you first arrive you are impressed with the grounds. Upon entering the house you are greeted with a wonderful living area, three bedrooms on the main floor, large kitchen and dining area. The main treat was the basement where you have another bedroom along with the toys - pool table, exercise room, ping pong, other games and a wince cellar. Perfect place.

Amazing Family Stay

We had a wonderful stay at this high-end cabin. The location is remote while remaining close to both Carbondale and Glenwood Springs. It was the perfect home base for us as we enjoyed activities in both cities. There was plenty of room to park both our truck and raft trailer, and the outdoor play set was a huge treat for our 4 year old. Additionally, the indoor playroom provided loads of entertainment as well. I even used the elliptical in the gym one morning when I was feeling motivated. Not to mention the beautiful mountains/ forest views. We would 100% recommend staying here, and we hope to visit again.

2023 Year

Beautiful property with details like coffee with two makers to choose from, soaps and shampoos to start the stay were awesome. The cabin is so cute and decorated for the Christmas season with door mobs and cabinetry were beautiful. All ages were entertained for a Sunlight ski trip during snow storms that happened every night. Property was easy to get in and out of in our 2 wheel drive Suburban as the groundskeeper kept everything plowed and ready to roll (literally). We had a wonderful stay and looking forward to our next visit.

Great Fall break with the family

We had a multigenerational family gathering. The location was easy access to Glenwood springs and a quick drive to Aspen. We enjoyed harvesting the remainder of the garden on the property and frying up some green tomatoes as part of our meal. There was plenty of towels and blankets and we enjoyed the well stocked kitchen so we could eat at home. I would recommend labeling the light switches to make it easier to navigate in the house. We enjoyed the peacefulness of the area.

Wonderful property

Quiet. Pristine cleanliness in home. Excellent activities in all rooms from relaxing, to playing cards, to playing pool and enjoying the large room of fun on the lowest level of the home. Planning on reserving property in the future. ***Please note: bathroom/shower in level by the pool table needs attention as does not drain properly.

Incredible family ranch in a beautiful mountain valley!

Beautiful ranch that the kids absolutely loved. The setting was beautiful, with plenty of activities from the outdoor play area to the vegetable gardens and the huge game room. Plenty of space for the 7 of us and only 20 minutes from Glenwood Springs. We would definitely love to stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Mandy Murray

Hi! We are the Murray Family and we, along with our extended family, work and manage Old Paint's Ranch. It has always been a special place for us and we invite you to come and enjoy this amazing oasis in the Roaring Fork Valley!

Why they chose this property

Old Paint's Ranch is a small working ranch, which means that while there is farming and ranching to be done, and sometimes while guests are present, we work hard to make it minimally invasive to your stay and also hope it is part of this property's charm! The fact that you are renting a home in the midst of a multi-acre property certainly helps provide and quiet and private escape. Anything we can do to improve this property, please let us know for the benefit of your stay and future guests. Thank you.
