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.
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.
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....
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.
Wonderful place to stay. The home was more than spacious enough for four people and a dog. We loved the den/enclosed porch off the bedroom. It's perfectly located for many hikes. Donna was so gracious and responsive.

Great place to stay! We loved it!
We had a perfect weekend at the cabin! Very easy to find and great location.
My family loved the cabin in the woods, hiking, visiting Nederland, skiing Eldora, and going into nearby Denver. Everything we needed plus more! Hosts were kind and accomodating.

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.

Beautiful, Peaceful location and everything you need for time with nature...Don and Donna have a hidden gem and we are thankful that they have shared it with us
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!
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
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.
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!
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!
The property is exactly as pictured. I took my daughter and her friends for her 16th birthday. The girls loved it, and the owner made it even more special by leaving a few things to say happy birthday.
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.
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!
