Our family pup had a great stay here! Donna was so sweet and kind when communicating. Our kids loved looking for the gnomes and the games and puzzles. The deck is beautiful and we really enjoyed spending time out there. Such a cozy spot and just what we needed to escape the city. We would for sure stay here again!

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.

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.

Spacious and beautiful, inside and out!

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!

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!

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....

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.

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!

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!

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.
