About Dean Roberts
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.
Dean Roberts purchased this cabin in 2010
Why Dean Roberts chose South Central
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 cabin 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.

Review:
Mu husband and I spent a long relaxing weekend at the Post Office Ranch with my parents this spring. The cabin is well equipped and very peaceful. We really enjoyed watching the horses in the field through the giant picture window. Even though it was rainy and snowy for much of our stay, the cabin was so cozy we didn't care about the weather. When the sun did poke through, the views were amazing. We would certainly recommend the Post Office Ranch to anyone looking for a quiet place to relax with great access to the mountains and Salida.
Take care,
Leah

Wonderful!

A beautiful cabin inside and out
My family and I had a wonderful stay at this gorgeous cabin. The cabin was very clean, beautifully made and finished, and really fun to stay in. Coming from England we really felt like we were experiencing the beauty of Colorado here as the views and surroundings were beautiful too. We also loved Salida, such a quaint authentic town which wasn't too touristy or busy but had heaps of nice restaurants and fun activities. We would definitely like to return to the cabin and to Salida. Many thanks to Dean for a great stay!
Wonderful Log Cabin
The property and host were wonderful.
Hope to return someday!
Beautiful setting
Very similar experience to other reviews about this property. We had a great time. I wish the fish were easier to catch! Next time!
Beautiful cabin!
Beautiful cabin and property! The cabin was spacious, equipped with everything we needed, clean, and the beds were very comfortable. We had a wonderful weekend! Thank you!
Beautiful cabins
I rented both Post Office Ranch Log Cabins for a family reunion (16 people in all). 8 adults slept in this cabin, but I wouldn't try to fit any more in. Four 20-25 year old girls stayed in the loft; it worked great for them but the ladder could be challenging for less athletic people.
The cabin is 10 minutes outside of Salida, but is secluded from the highway so it feels very private. Dean quickly answered all of my questions by email and was very friendly in person. We all loved the craftsmanship of the cabins, the gorgeous views of the mountains, and the close proximity to so many activities. My brother and uncle enjoyed (catch and release) fishing in the pond. It was also nice to have a fully stocked linen cabinet, kitchen, and access to a washer and dryer.
We stayed in July; the temperature in the cabins was perfectly comfortable and it was even cool outside at night. There were a lot of biting flies and mosquitoes in the pastures, but DEET kept them off. I highly recommend both of these cabins!!
Great location, super clean
Close to town, yet maintains a desired level of solitude. Owner is attentive and a joy to meet in person.
