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 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.

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!

Nothing but amazing
We had the opportunity to stay at this one of a kind cabin for our trip to Colorado las fall. The views were amazing, with easy to get to hikes right around the corner. The owners were so helpful while planning our trip and helping us along the way. We will definitely be back

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!

Dancing Bear
The cabin is beautiful and fully equipped. We loved the open floor plan of the livingroom and kitchen/dining area, and appreciated use of the wood stove on chilly nights. There are numerous hiking trails nearby and the little town of Nederland offered several great dining options. If you're looking for a mountain retreat, we highly recommend Dancing Bear!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
