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.

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.

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!
