This is our 4th stay at the Dancing Bear cabin. The place is very spacious. The new expanded deck is a great place to hang out. The area is very quiet. The host is so accommodating and on 2 occasions we have extended our stay. If gambling fan Black Hawk and Central City is just a brief 20-minute drive. We always go into Nederland for shopping etc. It's the same 20-minute drive. Great wood burning fireplace for cool nights. One minor note baking pan needs to be replaced.

Wow, thank you for the nice review. It makes me want to stay at my own cabin. Every time I see your name on my reservations it makes me happy. And please next time your there please reach out to me if something needs to be replaced I would have shipped the pan to you overnight.
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 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!

Dahn, I'm so happy that you enjoyed your stay at Dancin' Bear Cabin.
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!
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!

Jenifer, I am so happy that you had a great time and were able to enjoy Ned.
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.

About the host
Hosted by Donna Brannan
Don, born and raised in Colorado married Donna, a New York Native over 38 years ago. Don has enjoyed the cabin since childhood, hiking, biking, skiing, hunting, fishing, mountain climbing and exploring with his parents. We found a trail behind the cabin where a covered wagon had once tipped over. To this day old glass bottles can still be dug up at this site. The trail opens to a large meadow and bubbling stream.
Why they chose this property
A family jewell passed on, now for others to enjoy as well, Colorado history abounds the area. It is near Peak to Peak highway which has the most beautiful sights available on the front range
What makes this property unique
A huge plus is the the back door leads onto Roosevelt National Forest. Hiking & mountain biking trails are feet away to springs and nearby river. No reservations, no crowds. Wildlife prevails in the area: moose, dear and elk are common. Ghost towns surround the area, and are a short drive away.
