This was our second month-long stay here and we've already booked the cabin for another month next year. The location in the cool mountains cannot be beat:it is only a 30-40 minute drive down the mountain to Boulder with all of the amenities you could want from a mid-sized college townNederland is 6 miles away and has urgent needs for grocery stuff as well as cute shops, ACE (which is more like a mini-Target), a lovely reservoir to walk around, and it's right on the Peak to Peak highway leading to Rocky Mtn National ParkI did not go very far as I loved staying in the cabin, enjoying the clean mountain air, but my husband found numerous hikes from 2-7 miles within the vicinity to take our 2 golden retrievers on their daily hikesWe saw fox, moose, deer, squirrel and tons of chipmunks and various birds from our porchThe cabin is perfect for the 4 of us with the full kitchen and outdoor grill, and was very comfortable when we hosted other family members for their mini-vacationsCommunication with Cal was immediate with any needs we had, and David is the next door neighbor on property, and filled every other need as well as becoming a dear friend in the past 2 summers we've spent here. We cannot wait to return!

Mountain Adventure

Private mountain cabin centrally located to Rocky Mountain National Park, Denver, Boulder, Nederland, Eldora, Golden and local casinos. Cabin was perfect for our first visit to Colorado area.

Very cozy cabin!

We really enjoyed our stay in this cozy cabin nested in the beautiful woods of Colorado. The place was clean and well equiped and location was awesome! Just 15 min drive from Nederlands town which has great Nepalese restaurant as well as nice bar with smoked wings. Cal was very quick to respond. Highly recommend!

Trie mountain living

This cabin is just as described. Local fox family visits every morning. Saw more moose while here than anywhere else in CO. Calvin was quick to respond and David, the property care taker, was an amazing guy all around, super helpful and knowledgeable. Would absolutely stay here again! Thank you for sharing your cabin!guy.

A peaceful retreat

This place is perfect if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy the mountains. The beds were comfortable, and amenities were as promised. Starlink for Wifi worked out well (unless everyone was streaming). Just have to remember you can't expect city-broadband and modern-house plumbing in the woods! Would return again.

Wonderful mountain stay

Honey Bear was the perfect cabin for a summer family adventure vacation. We were ages 18 - 69 and were able to do so much within 15 miles - hike, fish, eat and shop. Some days we had softball in Boulder or a bike tour in Frisco or golf in Evergreen and we couldn’t ask for a better location. A family of fox visit the neighbor every night, moose and mama live down the road, and there was even a bear in the neighborhood when we were there. Our host was very responsive and helpful. We couldn’t have asked for a more laid-back, authentic, summer mountain experience! We would definitely return.

The stay was great, the area was magical and the hosts were AMAZING. This was a great experience and family trip. This was the last family trip my wife and I planned and booked before her untimely passing. This helped bring some much needed healing to our family and the hosts (who were unaware of our circumstance) made it so much better just by being themselves! The property manager was also the BEST! If you’re looking for a REAL mountain life experience, BOOK NOW!! On a side note, prepare your mind and body for the elevation and familiarize yourself with the environment. Again, this is REAL mountain life, in nature. If you’re lucky, like we were, you will see some wildlife closer than 99% of the population gets to experience. Yes, we saw the moose!You can get up to about 9000ft hiking to the summit behind the cabin and get some awesome views. If you like to stargaze, take your telescope, binoculars, or just lay back and enjoy the mountain sky. *note* All pics uploaded were on the property.

Great location and spot to relax

We truly enjoyed our stay in the mountains! The area was beautiful and quiet. The house suited all our needs, but there was one mis-listed item and that is that it does not have AC. There was one overly warm day that it would have been helpful, but we made do and were not too uncomfortable with windows open. Could use a deep cleaning but nothing was terribly bad. Neighbor was nice and wildlife was abundant. Foxes and chipmunks daily, saw a moose up the road and deer from the home. Overall, would stay again and had a wonderful stay!

Quiet and cozy

This property is located in the perfect spot. If you love hiking or biking then this house is perfect as the Golden Gate State park is a short drive away. We spotted several deer roaming around near the house. The hike up hill behind the cabin is well worth the effort as the views are spectacular at the top. The house has an open floor plan and the internet connection was great. It offers all of the comforts of home and the host is very nice. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip. Thanks you Calvin.

Enjoyed our stay

The cabin/house was enjoyed! The host was easy to communicate with and responsive to needs and questions. Some minor recommendations were offered to the host as critiques on the stay, but they could be easily accommodated. Those included that the dishes seemed to need a rinse from lacking recent use, a drying rack near the sink would be handy to accommodate family sized groups, the massage table in the listing was unavailable due to being broken without notice to the renting tenant which offered some disappointment, and a few creature comforts that we would have traditionally expected were absent and would have more easily been picked up in town before arriving, instead of arriving to find them absent. I would stay here again.
