About this property
PO Ranch Log Cabin, close to Ski Area, rates subject to change for over 2 people
EXTRA GUEST CHARGE FOR GROUPS LARGER THAN 2 PEOPLE: $20 PER NIGHT, PER GUEST, FOR EACH PERSON OVER 2 PEOPLE
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. Recently, it was used for a location in a feature film.
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.
Our sunny, solar-powered home is located on the biking path that leads to Salida’s quaint downtown. The house has a rural feel and fantastic panoramic views, but is just 1.5 miles from all the restaurants, galleries, shops, and parks of Salida.

Great place to stay with spectacular views of the mountains! Beautiful, clean and well-maintained cabin with rustic decor. The hosts were friendly and helpful with any questions. Would definitely stay here again.
Such a cozy cabin for a family adventure! Kids loved petting horses and exploring the river. Host is excellent and communicates well! Love that it’s on a working cattle ranch.
Super awesome cabin. Excellent directions and check in help. Very clean, and tidy, loved the attention to detail in cabin construction! Surrounded by a beautiful meadow and farmland.
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.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Post Office Ranch! It was clean and had great amenities. Beautiful cabin and ranch.

About the host
Hosted by 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.
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.
