Relaxing get away

We had a very relaxing stay at this cabin. Everything was nice. Only thing we would have liked better was if the living area had a recliner or chair to sit in. There was a couch and dinner table chairs only.

Just what we needed.

Nice place, well-equipped and great location if you like to enjoy some beautiful hiking. Hosts were very nice , accommodating, and responsive as well. Small town of Nederland has a couple of good restaurants and is fun and only 15-17 minutes away.

The property is perfect for a quiet get away. Everything was better than described and expected.

The cabin was everything we expected and more. Donna was very communicative and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. The location was exceptional, and the beautifully remodeled cabin provided the perfect setting for our weekend. I would highly recommend this cabin to anyone, and we will definitely be coming back to stay here again.

Besties Mountain Vacation

Everything about Dancing Bear Cabin was wonderful! Tucked perfectly away and yet we felt safe and secure being just us City gals! Loved exploring all the surrounding local establishments and the gift shops... There is so much to do just there on site too if you want to just escape and get back in touch with nature... So beautiful....

The cabin is lovely with tons of space to relax inside and out. The small touches here and there really add to the experience and help to feel welcome in the space. Outside is breathtaking and the tree swings were a favorite!

Great mountain escape

The property and the house are nicer than the photos. We really enjoyed relaxing on the deck and feeding the hummingbirds, chickadees, and chipmunks! Nice hike up by the Moffat tunnel.

Relaxing and beautiful

The access to the trail in Roosevelt National Forest is the highlight of this place. So nice to roll out of bed and go wandering through the trees with no plans or car. Great games too, I'm hooked on Twixt!

Terrific place in the woods

Absolutely terrific place in the woods, backing up to national forest. Clean, quiet, and cozy. And still only about 45 minutes to Boulder. Owners were very helpful and responsive. We would definitely go back.

Home Away From Home

Beautiful cabin that is comfortable and centrally located to all Gilpin County has to offer. Owners were helpful and friendly in every encounter. Short distance from Eldora Ski Resort, Blackhawk Casinos, Carribou Trail, and the city of Nederland. Cabin has everything you need to be comfortable and relax with the peace and quiet of being in the middle of the forest. Will definitely stay here again!

Cross country road trip

This was the perfect stay for my parents and I on our cross country road trip! So secluded and up in the mountains. Exceeded all expectations. Such a beautiful, clean, cozy cabin. The drive up with spectacular. Donna was super helpful, kind, and detail oriented! Would love to stay with them again.

Summer 2023

This is our second stay at Dancin Bear Cabin and just as fabulous as the first time. We strive to get away from the hustle and bustle of daily life in Michigan. We come to Colorado to see our oldest daughter and son in law, and this cabin is absolutely perfect. Within an hour drive of just about anything we want to do. Hopefully will be staying again in Summer 2024.

Rural, wooded forest, cabin in the woods- away from traffic, furnished with all the amenities. A get-away. Never really expected having TV reception (x3).....a wood burning stove, washer/dryer, all the creature comforts. Clean/friendly and homey.

Beautiful Cabin

We celebrated my husband's birthday for a week at this beautiful, peaceful cabin. We brought along our fur babies and they absolutely loved the snow. We dinned and explored the nearby cities Nederland and Central City. We took the dogs to trails in Boulder, Breckenridge, Nederland and Colorado Springs. It was a great vacation. The cabin was clean, peaceful and the snow made it so much prettier. We cannot wait to stay again!

Quiet and Cozy Mountain Getaway in a Forest

It felt like our lives continued but in a cabin surrounded by forest rather than buildings. Me and my boyfriend have been working and living in New York City for many years, and were looking for a quiet getaway to recharge and do some hiking. The road to the cabin was so special - the views were exactly what we were hoping. Thank you Donna for the wonderful cabin! I felt like I was at home the entire time.

Dancin' Bear

It is always great to rent a place sight unseen and find it to be exactly what is advertised. We stayed from January 5th thru the 10th and found it hard to leave. We hardly left the cabin area because there was so much to do. I had my first experience at show shoeing and it was so much fun! Thank you for a great family get away.

3rd year in a row!

We have stayed in Don and Donna's cabin now for the third summer in a row while we visit our son in Littleton, CO. This should tell others that we are very happy with the property. The only minor hiccup this year was that the shower appeared not to have been cleaned from the previous guests' visit. It was no big deal and we took care of it without bothering Donna. While we always consider other properties (for variety), we are very comfortable with their cabin and certainly hope to stay there in the future.

Comfy cozy cabin

Very comfortable cabin with all the amenities you need. The location is very wooded, pretty and peaceful. There's a sunroom on the back of the cabin that's great for chilling out and nature watching. Just a few steps away is a great trail through beautiful trees. Neighbors aren't too close and the cabin is easy to get to. Definitely stock up on supplies, as grocery store is a bit of a drive. Great place to tuck in and decompress for a few days.

Everything was just as they stated, and owners were very helpful on every question we had. They are the reason we decided to stay at this house. They replied to my email within minutes by calling me and then helped with places to hike and raft. Thank You
