Lovely cabin in the woods!
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

3rd annual trip to Dancin Bear Cabin
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.

Relaxing At It's Finest
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.

Ask questions. Check photos.
The reason it’s a 3 star rating is because the hot tub amenity was the only reason I booked this particular cabin. The owner knew that the hot tub was listed as their cabins amenity but said that there is a “community hot tub” and community pool down the road. Definitely false advertising. And after I sent a screen shot of the hot tub as first amenity listed on their listing, hot tub amenity was removed. Also the cabin listed as “remote”, its remote in the vicinity of a highway but the cabin is surrounded by other cabins that you can visibly see, and people walking on the road that runs in front of the place can see your cabin. So if you’re looking for a hot tub or privacy, this is not the place.

Great Snowy Weekend Getaway
Great little place in the mountains for our snowy weekend. We booked this place over the MLK holiday weekend and was anticipating nearly 8-12" of snow. The owners were both very responsive during 0 degree hot water issues. It was the most picturesque snowy weekend near the cozy warm woodburning stove. We used the house snowshoes to romp around the snow. We had great memories in this place and would love to visit again!

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!

I normally don't write reviews or surveys but in this case I need to chime in. The cabin was very clean with a great location. It exceeded my exceptions by far. The hosts are some of the nicest folks I have ever had the pleasure to speak with. One of the best vacations I have ever had and the cabin was just so nice. If you are wanting to stay somewhere in the mountains and you do not give this place a try-I think you made a mistake. I hope to go back again !

Spending 4-5 days at Bear Cabin each summer has become a family tradition, one that we look forward to throughout the year. The location is perfect—hiking trails from the back yard, short distance from Golden Gate Canyon Park, many other wonderful hiking trails, and close enough to Nederland for a trip into town. The cabin is well appointed and welcoming and the host is always responsive. Frankly, I just can’t say enough good things about Bear Cabin. We love it!!
