Heaven on earth
Review Submitted: January 23, 2009

With no exaggeration, having traveled this state extensively, I can say that Two Ponyz Ranch is one of the loveliest spots in New Mexico. The location is breathtaking; you'll enjoy sunrise over the Manzano Mtns with your coffee every morning, and whether you like to just stay put and hike the area (with Sadie the dog by your side), ride horseback into the Cibola National Forest, or take a few day trips and experience NM history, it's all there waiting! The casita is warm, inviting, and very comfortable; Karen's attention to detail leaves nothing to chance, and we felt instantly at home. If you have horses, this place is perfect, the barn, stalls and corrals are outstanding, and what a place to ride!! Just a short drive away is Mountainair, a quirky NM town that deserves a closer look. Also, the Abo, Gran Quivera, and Quaro ruins are all nearby and well worth the trip. I was also impressed with Karen and Adam's committment to sustainable land and water use, so important in NM! I would recommend this property to anyone looking for the perfect NM vacation; Two Ponyz is why it's called The Land of Enchantment!
A special quiet place

The Two Ponyz casita was perfect. Clean, superbly furnished and so quiet. What a beautiful sight every morning watching the sun light up the Manzano Mountains with horses grazing in the foreground. Hiking adjacent to the ranch on National Forest land. Great dark skies for my husband’s telescope. Did not need to turn on the AC on at all – cooled off wonderfully every night. Karen was very congenial and helpful. Stayed 5 nights and will return for more!
Wonderful For People And Horses

Was lucky to find this special place. The guest house has all the ammenities of a 5 Star hotel and more. The views are spectacular at this quiet remote location. Being so close to the National Forest made hiking and horse back riding memorable experiences. Speaking of horse back riding, the barn was new and clean. Our horses were given exceptional care. Only 10 miles from Mountainair and close to historic ruins. A place we look forward to visiting again.
Wish we could have stayed longer

I agree with the first reviewer about hospitality. We were delighted to find how well we were taken care of while there - everything we could need in the kitchen and bath; nice, fluffy towels; fresh flowers; even a little gift for our anniversary! If you are looking for someplace private and quiet and comfortable, this would be it.
We were also impressed with the owners' commitment to energy, land and water conservation, animal care (beautiful horses and happy dog - I would not hesitate to board my horses there, by the way) and, overall, attention to detail about every aspect of their property and business.
There are great walking, horseback riding, mtn. biking opportunities right in the area also. No need to get back in the car and travel more - you can just walk down the road to get to some lovely areas.

I belong to an adventure club and we frequently look for places that are unique and Two Ponyz Ranch certainly would fall into that category. We were wanting to catch the fall colors in the Manzano Mountains just south of Albuquerque and we fortunately hit it at the perfect time. Karen also arranged for a trail ride for us which we thouroughly enjoyed. Karen was absolutely the perfect hostess, the Casita was spotless and had every amenity that anyone could possibly need. Karen also helped with local information. I highly recommend a stay at the ranch. We went into Mountainair and ate at the old historic hotel. We took a drive up highway 55 and visited some ancient Indian sites and mission churches, and of course we hiked the Fourth of July trail to see the fall colors on the Sycamore trees. Hope to return some day.
Blissfully Quiet & Soul Changing Views

We spent 4 wonderful days with Karen and the Critters
(horses & dog). The secluded location is perfect for a peaceful stay. Nature is right off the patio, the views are breath taking and Karen was always right there when you needed her for anything. She arranged a guided horse back ride to the Cibola National Forest which is literally right next door. For me it was the perfect weekend get away.
You have to call and make a reservation today for the trip of a life time tomorrow!

An Introduction to Mountainair
Review Submitted: June 21, 2008

The description provided for Two Ponyz is accurate; what wasn't mentioned was the hospitality shown by the owners. They went out of their way to make our week as enjoyable as possible. Sadie, the hostess dog, also came by to say good morning on a daily basis.
Two Ponyz is out of the way, about 5 miles from Rt. 60, and an SUV or Outback-type vehicle is strongly recommended. You might be able to get to it with a car, but I wouldn't want to try it in mine. We're having a house built outside Mountainair (five miles from Two Ponyz as the crow flies, twenty miles as the crow drives) and Two Ponyz is a good base of operations for visiting a homesite and getting familiar with the town. Mountainair is a budding artists' colony; it's a small town, but you can find all the necessities and more.
The guest casita is equipped with photovoltaic panels and it was nice watching the electric meter spin backward. Wireless Internet access was iffy from the casita, but a newer, more sensitive laptop might have solved that problem. Access was fine when we were on the owners' portal (patio), but the windy conditions made that solution less than ideal. The local library is a wireless hotspot, in addition to its three public computers, so we were able to maintain our Internet addictions. Horseback riding is available if you're interested; we were too busy dealing with our house to take advantage. I would definitely recommend Two Ponyz Ranch for anyone who wants to explore the greater Mountainair area.
