Beautiful cabins
I rented both Post Office Ranch Log Cabins for a family reunion (16 people in all). 7 adults and 1 child slept in this cabin and there was room for 2 more people. The rooms were spacious and beautifully decorated.
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!!
don't have a password, don't want one.
Our stay at Post Office Ranch cabin couldn't have been any better. We already have plans to make it an annual family get away.
Very pretty cabin.
We loved this cabin. We came with 4 couples over spring break to ski monarch. It's perfectly located: 20 minutes to the mountain, 20 minutes to buena vista and 10 minutes to salida where there's lots to do. The cabin had a beautiful backdrop of the mountains and we left our windows open each night so we could hear the sounds of the nearby creek echoing off the mountains. The owners were very accommodating and friendly. I would highly recommend.
Loved the fantastic views, quiet and convenient location
My wife and I stayed here with two kids for a few nights while we skied Monarch (about 10-15 minutes up the road).
The log cabin is beautifully done with clean, simple feel, hardwood floors, and adorned with bear and moose decor throughout. It has two comfortable rooms on the first floor and one bedroom on the second with an additional open-loft room that has a full-size bed and futon. There was a bathroom on the first floor and another on the second. The linens were clean and plentiful. The back porch had several rocking chairs and a bench that were great to use while viewing the mountains, a stream, and even stars on a cold night! Next to the cabin is a grill and a fire pit, which we did not use because of the cold temperatures during the evening.
One of the bedrooms on the first floor is right next to the heat pump, so it is warmer than the others and there was a slight noise from the pump when it was on-- if the area wasn't so quiet, we would never have noticed it, and it wasn't so bad that it disturbed our slumber. :)
The owner was friendly and greeted us during a late evening arrival to his ranch. Billing was easy and accurate.
We highly recommend this place, and will be back.
My family had a very comfortable stay - The cabin is beautiful and the scenery is spectacular.
The owners were very nice. The home was very clean, beds comfortable - The kitchen is equipped with everything we needed.
The property is on over 300 acres - so it was very quiet. - I loved seeing the horses in the pasture.
Exploring Colorado Fun
We stayed in the Elk Run cabin, very clean, beautiful views and host Dean was great! Only minutes away from groceries and supplies, excellent pizza joint. The drive 1 hr each direction on Hwy 50 was absolutely beautiful. Recommend Royal Gorge whitewater rafting and ziplining.
