Unplug and unwind at the Starlight Cottage — a charming, historic adobe tucked away on a corner of the Huerfano River. You’ll have space to relax, reflect, and be serenaded by the gentle song of the river and the birds that call it home. Thoughtfully updated, the cottage features a fully equipped kitchen, cozy bedrooms, a sun room, and a shaded front garden perfect for evening stargazing. A short walk across the pasture takes you to the Huerfano River. Pets are welcome w/prior approval/pet fee.

The space
The house includes a spacious, well appointed kitchen and dining area, two bedrooms (queen bed in each), one full bathroom with a washer and dryer, and a living room. The surrounding yard is spacious and the closest neighbor is out of sight providing lots of privacy.

If you are looking for larger accommodations or additional accommodations, we also have the Malachite Retreat and Star Bungalow on Airbnb.

Guest access
Guests have access to the entire house but do not have access to the free-standing studio (located south of the house) or the shop (located west of the house). Guests are welcome to explore the surrounding property if they stay within the boundaries on the map in the Welcome Book located at the house.

Other things to note
The occupancy of the guest lodging at the standard rate is four people. Any gatherings beyond that number must be coordinated with the Host in writing before happening and will have a $10/person/night extra charge for up to 2 additional people in the house. Our other listings in the area: Malachite Retreat (sleeps 7) and Star Bungalow (sleeps 4)


This home is a part of the larger Redwing Ranch; however, access to the rest of the ranch is strictly prohibited. Redwing Ranch is a working cattle ranch, and there will be times of the year when ranching operations, including flood irrigation and cattle grazing, may occur on the River Cottage parcel. Guests are expected to avoid impacting ranching activities.

Lives in Gardner, Colorado
I am a regenerative rancher in Southern Colorado. I love to travel and spend time in the comfort of a home instead of a hotel. I also have an AirBnB rental house on our ranch and understand "caring for it like it is your own"!
