The space
Real quick, some house rules:

No check in before 4pm or check out later than 10am per covid cleaning protocol. No smoking inside or out; no wood burning fire pits; no parties; no pets. 2 cars & 6 guests max per local law. Guests must start dishes and laundry load of towels, wash cloths and hand towels before leaving (we have negotiated a lower cleaning fee based on this, & pass the savings to you). Accurate guest count mandatory. AWD/4WD highly recommended from Oct-May. This is a historic cabin neighborhood and there are neighbors! Unit is 1260 s/f. Bring you own streaming accounts for the smart TV.

Sorry for the fine print -- now, onward to our listing.

My wife and I are proud to offer up the Sunflower Cabin, our dream home in the mountains. It is just a few hundred yards from the boundary of Rocky Mountain National Park, and a trail just a few blocks away takes you into Moraine Park by foot. Feel free to literally hike into the National Park, and then come back at the end of the day and soak in the hot tub on our back deck, watching alpenglow or shining stars.

Our historic cabin offers three bedrooms, a living area, a pitching and dining area, and two bathrooms -- one is a common bathroom and one is attached to the queen bedroom.

BEDROOMS

We have a master suite, with an attached bathroom and a queen bedrooms. A second bedroom has a full size mattress, and a third bedroom, which opens onto our spacious deck, has a trundle bed with two singles. Perfect for the kids or for additional guests.

ENTERTAINMENT

The hallmark of our house is our outdoor deck, raised off the ground, with a hot tub hidden behind several large pine trees that grow through the deck. From our hot tub you can see gorgeous mountain vistas and huge starry nights.

Our second favorite part of our home is a cozy wood burning fireplace in the living room, which heats up our space well during cold winter nights. Bring your own firewood and relax on two comfy couches with a fire and a movie. We have a smart TV (Roku) so you can stream your favorite shows.

ESSENTIALS

We provide towels, linens, soaps, and cooking essentials, plus a full size washer and dryer for your use.

KITCHEN

Our fully stocked kitchen has a fridge, freezer, microwave, oven and range, plus a ton of small appliances, dishes, pots, etc. Cook whatever you want! There are great restaurants nearby, but you are fully equipped for a great night of cooking.

Guest access
Fully furnished cabin including 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, living room, dining/kitchen area, large deck, private playground, and hot tub. Parking for 2 cars max.

Other things to note
NOISE

Events, loud music and parties are strictly prohibited. You must be quiet in the hot tub due to neighbors and neighborhood quiet hours. No speakers or music allowed.

NONPAYING GUESTS

Insurance requires that nonpaying/non-registered guests are not allowed on property.

AIR CONDITIONER

Like nearly every home in Estes Park, there is no A/C. We rely on cool mountain breezes to cool our homes quickly in the summers.

BEARS

This home essentially borders the park, and wildlife are everywhere. Do not leave foods in your car that smell. Bears can break in!
