  • Inn Details

    Sonnenhof Bed and Breakfast, located in beautiful Estes Park, Colorado, is a perfect place to enjoy a getaway from your busy schedule. Stay with your hosts, Hilde and Rudy. Our Bed and Breakfast is only seven minutes from the town of Estes Park and 10 minutes from the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park. Marvel at the fantastic panoramic view of the surrounding moiuntain ranges and Mary's Lake. Awaken to glistening sunshine in a very quiet and secluded eight-acre forest of ponderosa pines. We offer three different luxurious suites from which to choose: the Golden Aspen Suite, Alpine Flower Suite, and the Romantic Rose Suite, all with in-suite bathrooms. Each morning you will be treated to an unforgettable breakfast in our rustic log room overlooking the garden. In your spare time, enjoy the Alpine Garden backyard, featuring a flowing brook and pond...perhaps with a good book and a glass of wine. We welcome you and await your visit!

    Rudy and Hilde are the best. You will not forget this experience with them. They open their home to you; you feel like part of their family. My wife and I have stayed with them at least 10 times. If you choose to stay here, I recommend at least 2 nights or more. Estes Park and the Sonnenhof B&B are two places you will never get tired of seeing or spending time at. A must while in Estes Park is to drive over Trail Ridge road as long as the road is open. The views and drive will be one you will never forget. Also, a walk around Bear Lake and down to Alberta Falls is also something you need to experience while you are in Estes Park. While sitting in the breakfast room, look closely and slowly while you take it all in. Rudy has out done himself with this room. Rudy is truly a master woodworker, a man using his hands to craft beautiful things for us to enjoy. Rudy and Hilde are the kind of people we all dream about, then one day that dream comes true and we finally get to meet them. Thank you Rudy and Hilde for all you do to make all who enter your home a memory for a life time. Glenn and Diane Cover, Aurora, Colorado

    Above average, good place to stay

    Their food was outstanding I must say, I found myself scarfing down their food even though it was morning and like most people, I have a hard time eating alot that time of day. Overall this was a good experience, only had one problem in that they forgot we were coming...(oops!) Fortunately, the door was unlocked and the key was in our room, we didn't have any hand towels available and other than that, the consequences of their overlook was not too bad although I guess it could have been. They discounted our bill a significant amount which was a sufficient rectification for us and hence I only derated them to "Met expectations". The bed was quite comfortable too. For the money this stay is a good deal. Unless they have a habit of forgetting visitors I think most anyone will enjoy their stay here. And once again...that food was good.

    The best B&B in Estes

    My wife and I arrived to a lovely location and very nice room, the rose room. Hilde and Rudy were very nice and welcoming. He next morning (we had been up for a while fortunately), we were startled by music filling our room from the speakers. But we soon loved the beautiful music to start our day (Recommendation to Hilde and Rudy); make sure you know your customers know how to operate the speakers; we would choose to have them on, but knowing would be nice. Breakfast was stupendous and the conversation with both the owners and guest superb. My wife and I will definitely return when we next go to Estes PArk.
