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.

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.

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 refreshing stay
I loved the peace and quiet of our cabin. The mountain view from our veranda was lovely. The cabin was well stocked with an efficient floor plan. Our friendly host was attentive to our needs. This was a relaxing home base between hiking and fishing excursions. Gregory Anderson

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.

Amazing Stay!
I know, I too was skeptical about ALL of the 5-star ratings for Post Office Ranch, but my 15yr old daughter and I stayed there for a week during our ski trip to Monarch Mountain. I will tell you that it is NOT a 5-star hotel, but rather a 5-star EXPERIENCE! I couldn't have picked a better place to stay! Logistically, it is an easy hour from the airport in Gunnison, the perfect distance from town and a short drive to the slopes. The view of the mountain range from the cabin is breathtaking. The river was absolutely beautiful and shallow enough that I didn't have a safety concern for my daughter. The wildlife was plentiful, including a fox and several deer that would come within about 50 yards of the cabin. The horses were very curious and friendly (We named them all on day 2). We received about 2-3 feet of snow on our first day but received a call from the very friendly property owner that morning to let us know that he was plowing the road so we could get out and about later that day. The cabin was very clean and well equipped with everything we needed for the week. It took me several days to stop "Missing" the ranch but really look forward to bringing the rest of the family next year!
