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.

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.

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.

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....

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.

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.

Our second stay - as good as the first

We very much enjoy Don and Donna's cabin. We love having the Roosevelt National Forest as our back yard and the peace and quiet it affords. And we enjoy hiking and there are tons of trails in the area to choose from. The cabin is well stocked with kitchen essentials, which is important as we like to do a little cooking and grilling to cut down on the trips to the nearest town for food and groceries. Donna was quick to respond to a couple of questions we had in the first two days. The only minor inconvenience was that the outside trash container was already full when we arrived so we had to store our trash inside the cabin for the duration of our stay, as we couldn't put it outside due to bears possibly making a visit. This was our second stay in the cabin and we'll be looking to make a third stay in the future for sure.

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.

Great launching point to enjoy the mountains

Had a great stay at the very cute cabin. Had everything listed and a well stocked kitchen with utensils. Make sure to remember/write down the entry code before you are out of cell reception. Once at the cabin the wifi worked well- but it was a great chance to disconnect. The owners were very quick and friendly at responding.

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!

Nice comfortable quiet place

This is a true cabin in the woods. Quite and comfortable. It has everything you need. I only spent four night and drove to Eldora to ski each day. The drive took 20+ minutes and was an easy drive. There is a wood stove that kept us nice and warm. Beds were comfortable and clean. Very relaxing.

Great Getaway !

We stayed at The Dancin' Bear for a quick getaway from the city life. It was perfect ! Took a trip into Nederland and a trip to Blackhawk. Was pretty cold to explore the backyard this time. Topped each night off with a fire in the wood stove to take the chill off. Kitchen was well equipped with everything needed. Thanks again and we'll definitely be back !

Comfortable Cabin, So much to do!

We had such a great time! The cabin was not only clean and and very comfortable, with everything you may need for your stay, but they also provide so much for a really enjoyable stay in the mountains - hiking packs/poles for us, but also snowshoes, games and other stuff. Hiking right out the back door, Grilling on the porch next to the aspen trees, watching all the wildlife, and exploring the local towns. A week was not enough!

Beautiful, quiet getaway

This is an amazing place with gorgeous scenery. Well kept, comfortable and quiet. Just watching the critters get after the birdseed was worth the trip, but the drive to Central City during the leaf changing season was breathtaking. Great, personable communication with the owners just sealed the deal. We will be back.

Stress Free Stay

We 100% loved our stay here. We spent our time walking in the woods, bird watching and relaxing on the deck hand feeding Chickadees and Chipmonks. My wife felt like Snow White;) The cabin was just perfect to us, and greatly stocked with everything we could need minus food. The location was just beautiful, far enough into the mountains to have absolute quiet with stores nearby if we needed anything. The Aspens leaves blowing in the wind was hypnotic. Donna was quick to answer any questions we had and we would totally consider staying there again.
