Remote cabin-hike-bike out the back door. Eldora/Black Hawk 15miles.

This cabin was the perfect quiet getaway! My partner and I needed a break from work and regular life, and this lovely spot in the mountains was a great choice. The internet may have been slower than we’re used to, but it worked fine for being way out in the woods. The views were gorgeous, and an easy drive into Nederland - such friendly people - gave us access to any supplies we needed. We’d definitely come back to Dancing Bear, and happily recommend it to friends!

We were pleasantly surprised by the size of the cabin. It was much bigger than expected. The pictures posted do not do it justice. This property is absolutely stunning. We even saw a moose on the way in.

The hosts were very accommodating and the cabin was well equipped with everything needed for a wonderful family holiday and for potential long-term stay. The location was beautiful with the national forest right out the back sliding glass door!! There were a magical trails all around behind the house. We really went to play in the snow, but I could see enjoying four seasons at this beautiful little cabin.

We had such a fun and relaxing getaway. Donna is such a friendly and wonderful host! We will definitely be back! Thank you!

Cabin was easy to find, cozy, clean and comfortable. Loved the location.

A wonderful place in a great location to get to many hikes. Had everything I needed and was easy to find. Would stay again in the future.

We have stayed here for the second time and hope we will be back in a couple years with another group of grandkids. The location is a perfect gateway for exploring less busy parts of the Rockies. It is quiet and not far from trailheads and little towns with beautiful restaurants and attractions. The cabin is perfect for a family with everything one needs for an enjoyable stay. I especially loved sitting on the porch and watching birds visiting the feeders. The hosts are wonderful!

We came out from MN to explore the Peak to Peak area in early August. Within 30 miles driving, you can access excellent hiking, biking, rafting and sightseeing opportunities. Also plenty of indoors things but my family and I were here to play outside. The cabin is warm, functional, and cozy for a family of four. Lots of wildlife and national forest trails literally out the back door. The kitchen is setup to cook pretty much any meal you want, and the gas grill outside was easy to use. There are TVs in every room that looked nice; we didn't really watch any TV but with those and a few games in the cabin you can always keep yourself entertained. We liked having a dishwasher and laundry as well. Overall I'd say if the yuppie front range isn't really your thing, you'll find all the CO summer fun here and the area really feels more authentic than the front range. I've never skied Eldora, but by the numbers it's no front range mega resort. Other than that, the P2P region is highly recommended by this particular MW outdoorsy type family!I'll add that communication with Don and Donna was a breeze. They actually care that you have a great stay. Not a given with vacation rental owners!

We had a wonderful week at Don & Donna’s cabin. It was so peaceful & relaxing, just what we needed. The kitchen is very well stocked. We hiked everyday in the woods right out the back door. Our dogs thought they were in heaven! We will definitely be return renters! And Donna was super responsive to all our questions! Highly recommend staying here if you want to get away!

The cabin was rustic but not rough. It had all the amenities we needed, including Netflix! The beds were comfy and the location was amazing. When I opened the bedroom curtains, there was a forest, streaming with sunlight. It was the best! And Nederland, just 15minutes away, was the perfect town with great restaurants, a full market, and friendly people.

The location was good. We saw moose behind the house. The bear theme was charming. There were various condiments in the fridge, seasoning in the cabinet and coffee for those who wanted it. We enjoyed our walks out through the woods. The host was responsive though all my questions concerned her. Some of my messages to her disappeared in the Vrbo app and she didn’t receive them. The deck has a loose board that is a trip hazard. The host said they are replacing the deck this fall but that board needs screwed down ASAP. When the sun is on it, it rises more. There is a maybe 3” drop as you leave the main space going into the hallway that catches you off guard. I sat on a stool at the counter and almost ended up in the floor. (I weigh 140 lbs.) We left it laying in the floor with a note on it. We found the horseshoes hanging in a tree but no pit. We did locate a bent over piece of rebar coming out of the ground. The playground area would be enjoyable for someone with children. My two concerns are 1) water. It tasted great! but I had to wash my hair in the kitchen sink because there is no pressure. 2) If you rent this home, you need to know in advance there is an extra charge for more than 4 people, per person, per night. Also the rule is NO visitors at this location. She did make an exception for our son to come by a short time to see the place. I understand previous guests ruined this for everyone. We were in the area for a family reunion and overall enjoyed our time.

Amazing Cabin, great owners to work with. Highly Recommend!

LOVE!!!!! My husband nephew and I loved this cabin cozy, beautiful and the owners are more than accommodating and communicative if needed. Thank you so very much for sharing your beautiful cabin will stay again 🫎

This property is amazing especially if your not wanting to be in the city. Great space to enjoy family time and outdoor activities. Truly a beautiful property! Property manager is also very nice and helpful!

Beautiful and peaceful cabin with everything you need for youtstayyour

Donna and Don are incredible hosts! Very supportive and responsive. The pictures online don’t do this cabin justice. It’s absolutely beautiful. My son was unable to get his car up the hill and we got trapped in for a day even though they very clearly had just cleared the driveway for us. They started reaching out to neighbors about parking his car so we could enjoy the city while we were there. Roy was so nice to allow us to park about a mile from the cabin. What an absolute blessing everyone was! We enjoyed our time as a family so much thanks to Donna, Don AND their friends!! ❤️

We loved our trip to the Dancing Bear! We've stayed at quite a few vacation rentals/condos in the Rockies and this one is definitely one of our favorites. Comfortable space, well-equipped kitchen, cozy wood stove, and we loved the access to National Forest land out the door for walks with our pup. Don and Donna went out of their way to make us feel welcome and make sure we had what we needed for our stay. We hope to come back again some time!

Just what me and my girlfriend needed. A quiet getaway for the weekend. Owners were very accommodating. Highly recommended.

We enjoyed the mountains and the fresh snow. Great coffee! Loved the scenic drive to the cabin. Next time we will stay longer than two days!

Tucked away but close enough. Super awesome owners. So easy going

The cabin itself was very adequate with direct access to the Roosevelt National Forest. We loved sitting on the porch watching the little birds and squirrels come to the open feeder. The only issue was that VRBO did not send the email with the door codes so we had to contact the owner for access. Donna was quick to respond, though. Go there. Go to Nederland and take a walk around town. So nice! door codes which

Backed up to a national park. Could it get any better? This cabin, boasts all the amenities plus a peaceful, quiet mountain experience. What a great place to stay!

This is a great property in the mountains to get away and unwind. My brother and I decided to do a quick trip for my 40th birthday with some friends. Plenty to do around the area especially in Black Hawk with the casinos. *The porch is in poor conditions so be careful

Cabin was perfect for a short weekend away! Short drive to many beautiful hikes. Cabin is very peaceful and loved the outdoor space.

Very peaceful.

Great location and great hosts. We will be back.

We have traveled 3 years in a row from Michigan to Colorado with our 3 dogs and have always been pleased with our stay. Donna is very prompt to respond to any questions. The accommodations are a perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle. The wildlife this year was more active than the last couple years. All in all we highly recommend staying at this cabin. It’s perfect.

The owners were wonderful with their communication and helpfulness. It is a very spacious and clean home. Very well-situated property between Black Hawk and Nederland. The place was so quiet and relaxing that we decided to stay another day, and the host was so gracious and accommodating. Highly recommend this property and we will visit again.

Bear cabin has everything one would need for a delightful stay in the mountains. The backyard opens up into a national forest and the cabin itself is both spacious and cozy. Nederland and Golden Gate State Park are just short drives away. We’ve been coming back to this cabin for several years now. We’ve made a lot of wonderful memories here! I can’t recommend it enough.
