Beautiful area

Guests love this home’s scenic location.
Come stay in this quiet retreat, located outside of Gardner, Colorado in an area known as Malachite. This home was remodeled in the 90s, joining two adobe structures from the 1880s, beautifully blending historical construction with modern-day amenities. With 16" thick adobe walls, you will be cozy in the winter and cool in the summer, surrounded by picture windows to take in the scenery and local wildlife. Dogs and horses are allowed with approval and a fee.

The space
The house includes a spacious, well-appointed kitchen and dining area, four bedrooms (one bedroom is accessed through another bedroom), two full bathrooms, a laundry room, a living room, and a small sitting room. The surrounding yard is spacious, and the closest neighbor is a quarter mile away, providing lots of privacy.

We would like to let you know, for people with insect sting allergies, that there is a historic beehive in one of the trees out front that has not been a bother to tenants.

We are also able to accommodate horses during your stay. Please message for further horse hotel details.

If you are looking for additional accommodations, we also have the Starlight Cottage and Star Bungalow on Airbnb.

Guest access
Guests have access to the entire house, but do not have access to the attached garages or old stone schoolhouse. Guests are welcome to wander the surrounding property as long as they stay within the property boundaries, as indicated on the map in the Welcome Book at the house. Please be aware that if you have insect sting allergies, there is a historic beehive in one of the trees out front that has not been a bother to tenants.

Other things to note
The occupancy of the guest lodging at the standard rate is seven 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 3 additional people in the house.

We also welcome keeping horses during your stay. For $30/night/horse, we can provide a 10'x30' pen, trough, and water. The guest is responsible for mucking the stall and hauling to the designated area (if pens are not mucked at the time of departure, there is a $300 penalty). A wheelbarrow and a muck rake are provided. Grazing in the yard or surrounding area is not permitted.

RVs may also be used at the house in addition to full-rate rental. There is a $25/night fee, which includes permission to hook up a hose and extension cord to the house. Parking is located in front of the house. Our other listings in the area: Star Bungalow (sleeps 4) and Starlight Cottage (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 Malachite Retreat parcel. Guests are expected to avoid impacting ranching activities. There is a historic beehive in one of the trees out front that has not been a bother to tenants.

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"!
