Perched atop a rock wall, Sunflower Cabin is surrounded by pine and aspen trees. The views of Pikes Peak are unmatched, especially at sunrise and sunset! You will likely see more deer, turkeys, and chipmunks than other humans, but if you’d like to venture out, the town of Florissant is just 23 minutes away!

Please explore our surrounding woods to gather kindling for the stove, or play frisbee golf, enjoy a picnic on our picnic table, or watch the sunrise from our bench!
Other things to note
Wildfire Danger:
No outdoor fires are allowed – the risk of wildfire in the area is too high. We must do our part to preserve the forest and protect the homes of year-round residents in our neighborhood.
Pets:
Our dogs are our family, and they need a vacation too! Of our $115 pet fee, $50 goes to our cleaner to ensure that the next guest can have a hair-free, mess-free stay, and $50 is banked for pet-related damage/repairs to the property. Then Airbnb takes $15. We’ll provide your pup(s) with a towel and a throw blanket – please use these to help protect the furniture.
Holidays:
We do not accept check-in or check-out on holidays.
Travel:
The roads require AWD or 4WD for November through April (though it can snow in October and in May!) The roads are plowed after 6 inches of snow. The dirt roads past Florissant leading to our neighborhood will be very bumpy year-round!
Altitude:
Our elevation is 8,900 feet – to help prevent altitude sickness, stay well-hydrated! The tap water is delicious and safe to drink. Please consider wearing sunscreen even when it appears cool or cloudy.
Weather/Cancellations:
We cannot predict or control weather, so we don't offer refunds due to inclement weather. Please keep this in mind when booking, and if this is a concern we recommend purchasing travel insurance (Airbnb provides this option while booking your stay).
Other Notes:
The cabin is not air conditioned, but thankfully you are in the Rocky Mountains! In the summer, you’ll cool the cabin by opening the windows and turning on the ceiling fan in the evening! We provide portable fans to circulate air throughout the cabin. When outdoors, please be mindful of your noise – other homes are sprinkled throughout the woods, and we strive to be courteous neighbors.
This house is in a neighborhood. While it feels secluded there are neighbors around, please be mindful on your noise.
