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.
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.
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.

Keith, Wow, I am totally flattered. You were a pleasure to work with as well. I'm so happy you and your family were able to enjoy hiking behind the cabin. I hope you were able to make it to the incredible fireworks display in Black Hawk.
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!

Thanks for taking time to write this lovely review. I'm glad you enjoyed you're stay and we would be happy to host you again.
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

Hi Mary! Thank you for taking time to write a review! We are so happy you enjoyed your stay at our cabin! We hope to see you again soon.
Thank you!

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....

Thank you so much for your great review. The cabin is also my favorite place to take my gal pals.
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.

Douglas, thank you for the awesome review, and am so happy that you were able to enjoy the nation forest behind the cabin. It's one of the best kept secrets...no lines, no reservations and I would have been surprised if you had seen another person while you were there.
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!

Carol, thank you for taking the time to leave the great review. Nederland-(NED), is a great little town. Hopefully, you were able to visit The Carousel Of Happiness, the history behind it is amazing!
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.

Thank you for you're great review. We would love to host you 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!

Thank you for choosing Dancin' Bear Cabin for your husbands birthday celebration. I am so happy your were able to take advantage of some of the things the surrounding area have to offer. Hopefully, you were able to hike behind the cabin as well. Hope to see you, your'e husband and your fur babies again soon.
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.
