Sunshine earns its name from the late day sun that warms the cottage each day through antique paned windows. Blessed with fine woodworking throughout the cottage, this newly remodeled cottage features a vaulted aspen ceiling, refurbished barnwood kitchen counter, a beautiful Vermont Castings stove and a large bathroom. Sunshine has one full sized bed, a queen sized bed in the loft and a log futon couch; it can sleep up to six close friends or family members.

Excerpts from the "Sunshine" guest book

"I have always wanted stay in a cabin like this! Having it tucked away in the mountains with Cement Creek rolling by added to the charm and serenity. This cabin is fixed up and decorated so nicely."

"We've been traveling throughout the west and been keeping a talley of the best of the best. We will now be making a change of best cabin we have stayed in . Hands down "Sunshine" takes the prize."

"What a peaceful place to stay. We felt so removed and comfortable. We hate to leave. The fire kept us warm, the views kept us at peace and took our breath away. We even caught fish in the stream that rolls by and rocked us to sleep every night."

"Thank you for such a wonderful experience! Crested Butte and the Pioneer Cabins both exceeded my expectations."

"I came here alone for solitude, time to read, write, reflect. I found just what I was looking for- peace and quiet yet not total isolation. The cabin is wonderful."

"Matt and Leah, You have done such a wonderful job preserving this piece of history, in such a quaint and welcoming manner. We loved the window flower boxes, checkered curtains, not to mention the hummingbirds."

"The rustic decor and comfortable beds made the cabin like a "home away from home."
