The master bedroom is tastefully furnished and features a doctor's choice mattress and upgraded bedding, ensuring a restful night's sleep. Start your day by sipping your morning coffee on the deck, while marveling at the wildlife in your own private back yard.

The cabin property is bordered by the National Forest, providing easy access to hiking, mountain biking, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing adventures. For downhill skiing enthusiasts, Eldora Ski Resort is only a 15-minute drive away, offering both Alpine and Nordic skiing options.

Great cabin the woods!

The cabin was great! It's location was nice and private. There is plenty of room in the cabin as well. It was great enjoying coffee on the front deck or on the picnic table in the back in the morning. We traveled to Nederland, Boulder and Golden while we were staying. We would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful Cabin, Great Location

We had a fantastic stay at the Dancing Bear Cabin celebrating Thanksgiving with our daughters who live in Denver. The cabin was a convenient hour drive from Denver. The cabin is beautifully decorated and very clean. Anything a person could want for is supplied. We enjoyed the warmth of the wood burning stove with wood provided by the owners. Donna was responsive and quick to answer our questions. She went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed. We also enjoyed the beautiful hiking trails right out back of the property. We would definitely stay here again!

Magical

We spent three magical days at Dancing Bear, and definitely plan on coming back. My 3 and 4 year olds loved the yard with the swing, play house, and bus/fire truck/spaceship. My husband and I loved being able to let our children loose in true nature. The fact that the home borders a national forest was the most wonderful aspect of the house. The beds were incredibly comfortable and we had everything we needed. Donna was great at making sure we had all we needed. Just perfect.

Dancing Bear

The dancing bear cabin was beautiful! The owners were helpful. In my own ignorance, I booked this cabin thinking that we could go from town to town quickly and easily. I was definitely wrong by not taking the curvy roads through the mountains in consideration when planning our trip. We spent a lot of time in the car. If you want to be pretty much only in the Black Hawk/Rollinsville/Ned area then this is a great place to stay. If you want to venture out to other places maybe find somewhere else, but if you want to be secluded this cabin is great. Also, the Golden Gate Canyon state park is nearby and it’s beautiful with lots of lakes and hiking! Overall, great place to stay and so much natural beauty!

Ask questions. Check photos.

The reason it’s a 3 star rating is because the hot tub amenity was the only reason I booked this particular cabin. The owner knew that the hot tub was listed as their cabins amenity but said that there is a “community hot tub” and community pool down the road. Definitely false advertising. And after I sent a screen shot of the hot tub as first amenity listed on their listing, hot tub amenity was removed. Also the cabin listed as “remote”, its remote in the vicinity of a highway but the cabin is surrounded by other cabins that you can visibly see, and people walking on the road that runs in front of the place can see your cabin. So if you’re looking for a hot tub or privacy, this is not the place.

Absolutely Captivating

The cabin was rustic but not rough. It had all the amenities we needed, including Netflix! The beds were comfy and the location was amazing. When I opened the bedroom curtains, there was a forest, streaming with sunlight. It was the best! And Nederland, just 15minutes away, was the perfect town with great restaurants, a full market, and friendly people.

The location was good. We saw moose behind the house. The bear theme was charming. There were various condiments in the fridge, seasoning in the cabinet and coffee for those who wanted it. We enjoyed our walks out through the woods. The host was responsive though all my questions concerned her. Some of my messages to her disappeared in the Vrbo app and she didn’t receive them. The deck has a loose board that is a trip hazard. The host said they are replacing the deck this fall but that board needs screwed down ASAP. When the sun is on it, it rises more. There is a maybe 3” drop as you leave the main space going into the hallway that catches you off guard. I sat on a stool at the counter and almost ended up in the floor. (I weigh 140 lbs.) We left it laying in the floor with a note on it. We found the horseshoes hanging in a tree but no pit. We did locate a bent over piece of rebar coming out of the ground. The playground area would be enjoyable for someone with children. My two concerns are 1) water. It tasted great! but I had to wash my hair in the kitchen sink because there is no pressure. 2) If you rent this home, you need to know in advance there is an extra charge for more than 4 people, per person, per night. Also the rule is NO visitors at this location. She did make an exception for our son to come by a short time to see the place. I understand previous guests ruined this for everyone. We were in the area for a family reunion and overall enjoyed our time.

Donna and Don are incredible hosts! Very supportive and responsive. The pictures online don’t do this cabin justice. It’s absolutely beautiful. My son was unable to get his car up the hill and we got trapped in for a day even though they very clearly had just cleared the driveway for us. They started reaching out to neighbors about parking his car so we could enjoy the city while we were there. Roy was so nice to allow us to park about a mile from the cabin. What an absolute blessing everyone was! We enjoyed our time as a family so much thanks to Donna, Don AND their friends!! ❤️

The cabin itself was very adequate with direct access to the Roosevelt National Forest. We loved sitting on the porch watching the little birds and squirrels come to the open feeder.
