Walk to National Park! Mountain Cabin w/ Fireplace

Relax with the whole family at the Rocky Mountain High cabin, adjacent to the Big Thompson River and a block from trailheads into Rocky Mountain National Park (Permit 20-NCD0246). This retreat has it all -- stargaze from the deck, spend a winter evening curled up in front of the fireplace, or prep a great meal for the entire family in the full kitchen. + 3 minutes to the town's best restaurants + 5 minute drive to the park Visitor Center + 5 minute drive to town Great for groups up to 6. The space Real quick -- house rules: No early check in or late checkouts. Check in is 4pm or later; check out is 10am or earlier. No smoking in the house or entire neighborhood. No parties, no pets, no open fires. 2 cars & 6 guests max. Guests must start a load of dishes and a laundry load of towels/hand towels/washcloths at checkout (we have negotiated a lower cleaning fee based on this). Accurate guest count mandatory. Onward! We welcome you to stay at our cozy cabin about 1.5 blocks away from the National Park boundary and trailheads winding along the base of Eagle Cliff Mountain into Moraine Park. Due to the location of our neighborhood (so close to so much open space) you will very likely see off our deck what so many other neighbors and guests have seen: elk, deer, bobcats, turkeys, birds, bears and even mountain lions if you're lucky! Our two story, 1000-square-foot cabin features three bedrooms, 2 baths, and an open lower floor with an attached kitchen, dining and living area. Big windows let in lots of natural light, and the design encourages gatherings of friends and family. Speedy wifi throughout ensures your entire group can stream Netflix or get a lot of work done if needed. The newly remodeled kitchen has everything you need to prep a great meal for your family, a deck BBQ lets you grill up a storm, and a cozy fireplace in the living room gives you a place to relax when the snow begins to fall. BEDROOMS Bedroom 1 on the main floor features a king bed, television, and attached full bathroom that also opens into the kitchen. Bedroom 2 on the second floor features a bunk bed with views out toward the mountains and river below, as well as a TV. Bedroom 3, also on the second floor, also had a king bed plus a large television. KITCHEN & DINING Kitchen - A fully stocked kitchen features a microwave, fridge with ice maker, dishes and utensils for your group of 6, a drip coffee maker, dishwasher, and gas oven. Smaller appliances like a toaster, blender and kettle complete the package.

Please be respectful of your noise level so I can maintain good relationships with my neighbors. ADDITIONAL & NONPAYING GUESTS Nonpaying and non-registered guests are not allowed on property. AIR CONDITIONER Like nearly every other home in town, there’s no A/C. Thankfully mountain air blows down from the high peaks and will cool down the place quickly in the evenings if you open the windows. HOUSE AND NEIGHBORHOOD RULES My neighborhood has rules to ensure serenity and privacy. By booking you are agreeing to them: no pets, no RVs, no motorhomes, no motorcycles, no open flames, quiet hours from 9PM to 8AM, requirement to observe 15mph on neighborhood roads, and absolutely no smoking anywhere (not inside, not outside, and not even in the neighborhood!). BEARS Do NOT leave food in your car! Bears frequent this area and can break in! 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.
