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 kitchen 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.

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.

Our property managers Nathan, Nancy and Matt will be your main points of contact during your stay.

The Valhalla neighborhood is a collection of historic vacation rentals just outside of downtown Estes Park. It's unique in that the neighborhood backs up to National Park land so elk, deer and other wildlife abound. We have views of the surrounding Rocky Mountains from our entire neighborhood! You can walk into the National Park from a trailhead just a few minutes by foot from our front door. There are other cabins nearby, so if you are looking for total seclusion this is not your best bet, but if you are looking for a historic cabin that essentially borders the park, this is a great neighborhood.

During the summer, there's a free shuttle bus that encircles Estes Park and goes into the National Park. The closest stop is about 10-15 mins by foot.

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!

Minut
We use a Minut noise meter. It doesn't record audio, but instead monitors decibel levels, temperature and humidity. This is for the safety of guests & to protect the home. It also serves to warn us about parties & prevent noise complaints from neighbors. It's located on the cieling in the kitchen.
To keep cleaning fees low, we ask you to throw towels/hand towels/wash cloths into the washer and start the load, plus load & start the dishwasher.

This is a neighborhood of historic cabins -- there are other homes nearby. For total seclusion, please search 20 minutes or more outside of Estes.
