This beautiful, authentic log cabin is on a working Angus cattle ranch. Immerse yourself in a rustic world of horses, cattle, and real cowboys on this authentic slice of Colorado agriculture. With over 300 acres, seclusion is not a problem, making for great wildlife viewing. The cabin is adjacent to the South Arkansas River, and features a mile of river frontage; fishing is an angler's dream. We also have a nice pond with a cozy swing on the shore.

The property borders BLM land and lends itself to great hiking. Monarch Ski Resort is a mere 20 minutes away. Six miles to the east is the town of Salida, Colorado, where you will find many nice restaurants, shops, galleries, museums, and more.

Amenities include a washer/dryer, electric range, microwave oven, dishwasher, refrigerator (with ice maker), pellet stove and in-floor radiant heat. WiFi has recently been added.

The interior is decorated in a charming western theme, featuring log furniture, wildlife light-switch covers, and artistic hand-finished wood highlights on the cabinets and furniture. The spacious floor plan includes 2 bedrooms with loft, 1 1/2 bathrooms, and living area with 32" HD TV with DVD player and satellite TV. The cabin sleeps up to 9 comfortably.

Mountain views can be found in all directions. The wrap-around deck is a great way to relax and drink in the scenery. We also offer an outside BBQ grill and an authentic outdoor fire pit. Remember us for your next romantic getaway, small corporate refresher, or family gathering. Rates $205/night for groups of 2 or less, with a $20 fee per-night, per-person for each guest over 2.

Beautiful cabin, location, and wonderful hosts.
The cabin is beautifully built in a lovely location within the ranch with views of the mountains and pastures in the area. Additionally, its location is perfect for spending the day exploring the area, hitting monarch mountain, or a day in Salida. Moreover, the hosts were very responsive and lovely people. Highly recommend this location to anyone looking to slend time in the region.

SPECTACULAR PLACE!!!
Dean was a perfect host and went above and beyond our expectations! This cabin was a cozy, beautiful, and a well stocked get-away for my boyfriend's birthday weekend! We picked that location because it was nearby for skiing, snowboarding, and snowshoeing at Monarch.Beds were comfortable, gorgeous views, everything was perfect! **We will 100% be staying there again!**

Place was awesome
The cabin is in a perfect position to ski at monarch mountain and still make a trip into salida if you want to without much travel time. The beds were comfortable and the cabin was very roomy with everything you’d need. Overall it was the perfect place for my friends and I to stay for our ski trip! Would stay again if given the opportunity.

Cute Cabin
My husband and I booked this cabin to stay in while visiting local family. The cabin is well made with a nice porch/ deck. We enjoyed hearing the babbling water nearby and the nice Mountain View. The kitchen was stocked fairly well but I missed not having serving dishes for food and no salad tongs or nice baking sheets or containers for leftovers. We bought foil and ziplock bags and brought our crock pot and steamer from Texas. The ice maker really puts out lots of ice which was great because I drink a lot of iced tea! We used the picnic table and ate outside a lot to savor the weather and view. We utilized the outdoor furniture to sit and read which was nice. The beds were very comfortable. We walked down to the river loving the river views and water sounds. I liked the various wild flowers I saw on my walks. I’d say we enjoyed our stay and got good use out of the cabin.

A really impressive cabin.
We had a great week-long stay. The cabin is beautiful and comfortable. The fixtures and furniture feature a lot of skilled woodworking. We could cook meals in the kitchen area. The main floor has 2 bedrooms with queen beds and 1.5 bathrooms. There are more beds up in the loft that we didn't need. In early summer, we got by pretty well without AC, in part by opening windows at night, but the cabin is also designed well to reduce solar gain in summer. The living area and the big wrap-around deck have gorgeous views of the mountains, and a herd of cows regularly wanders past in the foreground. Laundry is available a quick walk away, in a little building close to a second cabin. Convenient location near the crossroads town of Poncha Springs, just west of Salida. Dean met us upon arrival to make sure we found the right driveway and got down the ranch lanes to the cabin, and was available for any help needed.

Great cabin in a peaceful setting
We loved our short stay! The setting is peaceful and has beautiful views of the mountains. The cabin is amazing with so many crafted log cabin details. It was clean and comfortable. The host met us at the road to guide us to the property and made sure we had everything we needed before leaving us to enjoy our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Dean Roberts

Host profile image
We are Dean and Dana Roberts, two lifelong ranchers. Our ranch is working Angus cattle ranch. We love the western cowboy lifestyle and know that you will enjoy your stay at our out of the way cabin.

Why they chose this property

We built the cabin as a private getaway for our family and friends, just a short ways from our ranch home. Our visitors enjoyed it so much that we decided to invite more or our "friends" to join us at the Post Office Ranch Cabin. The Post Office ranch is built around one of the original post offices in the valley.

What makes this property unique

The Post Office Ranch is located just off Hwy 50 on well maintained gravel roads. The cabin is remote and quiet, yet convenient to Salida and Monarch Ski Resort. The South Arkansas River is just a short walk from your deck. We know that any angler will enjoy the private fishing on over a mile of cottonwood lined mountain stream. Just across the river is BLM land, ready to explore.
