Post Office Ranch Log Cabin - rates subject to change for groups over 2 people

EXTRA-GUEST CHARGE FOR GROUPS OF MORE THAN 2: $20 PER NIGHT, PER-GUEST, FOR EVERY PERSON OVER 2 PEOPLE

This beautiful, spacious log cabin (lovingly called Grizzly Adams) was the second cabin to be built on our 300-acre working cattle ranch for you and your family's enjoyment. The cabin was completed in June of 2012 and has 1500 sq. ft. of usable floor area. Thanks to its size and charm, it was recently used as a location for a major motion picture.

It is equipped with a fully furnished kitchen (large electric range, dishwasher, and refrigerator with an ice maker), three doored bedrooms with Queen beds, a sleeping loft with a full bed (and a couch that makes into a full), two bathrooms (one upstairs and one down), a living room, and two flat screen TVs. The bedrooms offer comfy beds and large walk-in closets.

Outside, there's a large warp-around deck boasting cozy rocking chairs (perfect for drinking in the beautiful, panoramic mountain views). A gas grill, picnic tables, and fire pit are all provided to help make your stay a memorable one. Rates: $225/night for groups of 2, with a $20 extra-guest fee for every guest over 2.

Comfy cabin with views and location

Dean has a beautifully kept cabin with a front porch for sitting and looking at the mountain range. A few miles from downtown Salida and Monarch ski resort. The cabin is well stocked and sleeps 7 comfortably.

Great Vacation Spot

This cabin was very nice, clean, quiet, fantastic view of the meadow with mountains and the peaceful sound of the brook off the porch. Well stocked kitchen, great fire pit area, comfy beds, and plenty space to stretch out. We enjoyed walking down to the river or just sitting in the log rockers on the porch visiting. Only a few miles to town, and great day trips only an hour away. Can't wait to go back with the whole family next summer!

New favorite spot in the Arkansas River Valley!

I visit the area a few times a year and stay all over from Leadville to Salida. This is my new favorite! Absolutely gorgeous views, including the horses and cattle on this working ranch. Perfect cabin layout and great outdoor area. Host was awesome to work with. Can’t wait to visit again.

Great place with beautiful views and near town.

This was a great spot, secluded on a ranch near Poncha Springs and Salida. The benefit of being near enough to town and also getting an unobstructed mountain view from the back porch. We enjoyed coffee on the porch in the mornings and star gazing at night, with mountain sunsets in between. The interior is as advertised and with lots of amenities if you want to cook. Great place and we'd stay here again.

Great experience and close to the slopes

We had a great time skiing at Monarch mountain and the location of this cabin was great. Clean, spacious and quiet. The laundry room was nice with big washers and dryers so we could pack less ski clothes and just wash in between days. The kitchen was well stalked and the beds were comfortable. The property owners are very friendly. I would definitely stay here again.

Remarkable Ranch

The Ranch was a perfect getaway for my family. The hit for the adults was the craftsmanship of the log cabin and the gorgeous mountain panoramic view. For my grandchildren, the hit was the horses and cows😀. Dean was kind and very accommodating.

Incredible Property!

The description of this property can't even begin to explain how amazing it is! Quite possibly the most beautiful location we have ever stayed! The cabin was outstanding....very clean and comfortable. The view from the porch is amazing. The river running through the property and the fishing locations it has are amazing as well! Not to mention how welcoming Dean was. Extremely friendly and made our stay extremely pleasurable. Do not hesitate to book your stay here...you will absolutely not regret it! We cannot wait to stay here again!

Cozy Cabin in the Mountains

The cabin is beautiful along with the surrounding property. The cabin is clean and is built with limitless details that make it beautiful. There is a captivating view of the mountains. They also have sweet horses on the property that you can see from the windows and the porch. There are plenty of towels and a clean laundry area. The property manager is very kind and helpful. They had to plow snow for us while we were there.

Great views from the deck.

We visited relates in the area. They unit is a very nice log cabin on a ranch. Great views and near everything. We rented a Jeep and went over Tin Cup Pass. I fished the private ranch river and landed 16 browns in two hours. The largest was 13”. We will definitely return next year.

Absolutely Perfect!!

We stayed one week and couldn’t have been happier. The VIEW is enough to make it phenomenal but then you also have a wonderfully clean, comfortable cabin. Dean was great to work with. Love the river, the cattle, the porch, the horses, the view, everything. And it was in great proximity to all the places we wanted to explore. Will definitely be back! The only reason I wouldn’t leave a great review is I want to save it for myself haha! But there it is.

Magnificent property with views

This is a magnificent property with views of open fields and the mountains along with cattle and horses. The owners were welcoming and helpful. The cabin was immaculate. The bedrooms are a very nice size with an open living concept living room and eat-in kitchen for gatherings and a lot of space upstairs if you need to sleep a larger group. Easy access to BLM land and Salida and Buena Vista. The south branch of the Arkansas River is right there. We were fascinated watching the cattle and horses. It was such a peaceful setting to spend time with family. We loved everything about our vacation. Thank you!

The Perfect Cabin

We LOVED our stay at the PO Ranch. Cabin was exactly as pictured and very clean. Beds were comfortable and kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. It was very quiet, peaceful and private and the view from the back porch was to die for. We spent a lot of time enjoying the view from the rocking chairs and watching the cows graze. Location is out of the way enough to feel "away from it all" but close enough to plenty of sites and things to do. It's an easy 25 min scenic drive to Buena Vista where we hiked, explored ghost towns and the Midland Railway tunnels, and rented a 4x4 for a day. We also did the Monarch Tram which was only about 20 min away on Hwy 50. We ate breakfast and dinner in every day, but there are also tons of restaurants to choose from in Salida and BV. We were a little warm in the two downstairs bedrooms the first two nights and could have used fans, but after that the wind shifted and it cooled down and we were very comfortable. We felt very safe leaving the windows open at night. We also did laundry one night in the small outbuilding which has 2 washers/2 dryers and was very convenient. There's a beautiful fire pit with big Adirondack chairs which we didn't end up using due to rain the last couple nights. Next time! Thanks for everything, Dean. Not sure when, but we'll be back!

Fantastic Bday Weekend

The cabin was quiet and clean and the views were stunning. It snowed while we were there and they made sure the road was shoveled in the morning before we left. We had a great time grilling and the beef you can buy from them was delicious. I recommend bringing some home!
