Secluded Gorgeous Cabin-Hike- Bike-steps away from Roosevelt National Forest

Welcome to our newly remodeled and updated cabin, located just minutes away from the Eldora Ski area, Nederland, and Central City in Colorado. This cozy retreat features three bedrooms, two of which have comfortable queen-size beds, while the third bedroom offers a new high-end sofa sleeper. The cabin also includes a well-appointed bathroom and a wood-burning stove with central heating for your comfort.

Enjoy the modern amenities provided, including high-speed WiFi internet, cable with Netflix, and a DVD player. The upgraded appliances in the fully equipped kitchen make meal preparation a breeze, and a gas barbecue is available for outdoor cooking. For your convenience, the cabin is equipped with a new washer and dryer.

The master bedroom is tastefully furnished and features a doctor's choice mattress and upgraded bedding, ensuring a restful night's sleep. Start your day by sipping your morning coffee on the deck, while marveling at the wildlife in your own private back yard.

The cabin property is bordered by the National Forest, providing easy access to hiking, mountain biking, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing adventures. For downhill skiing enthusiasts, Eldora Ski Resort is only a 15-minute drive away, offering both Alpine and Nordic skiing options.

In the nearby area, you'll find a variety of attractions to explore. Try your luck at the casinos, relax at a spa, indulge in delicious meals at local restaurants, or stock up on groceries at the nearby store. The newly built Gilpin Co recreation center offers a lap pool, a separate kids pool with a water slide, a fitness area, and a skating pond.

For a fun evening out, visit "Roy's Last Shot," a bar and restaurant located just one mile from the cabin. They offer an extensive menu, pool tables, an outdoor deck, and a friendly atmosphere that welcomes both kids and dogs. Next door to Roy's, you'll find Mid County Liquors for your beverage needs.

Surrounded by breathtaking views and adjacent to the national forest, our cabin provides the perfect escape. Explore nearby towns such as Rollinsville, located about four miles away, or venture further to Black Hawk and Central City, approximately 15 miles away. For a day trip, consider visiting Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park, which are approximately 60 miles from the cabin.

3rd year in a row!
We have stayed in Don and Donna's cabin now for the third summer in a row while we visit our son in Littleton, CO. This should tell others that we are very happy with the property. The only minor hiccup this year was that the shower appeared not to have been cleaned from the previous guests' visit. It was no big deal and we took care of it without bothering Donna. While we always consider other properties (for variety), we are very comfortable with their cabin and certainly hope to stay there in the future.

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....

This is our second stay at Dancin Bear Cabin and just as fabulous as the first time. We strive to get away from the hustle and bustle of daily life in Michigan. We come to Colorado to see our oldest daughter and son in law, and this cabin is absolutely perfect. Within an hour drive of just about anything we want to do. Hopefully will be staying again in Summer 2024.

This was the perfect stay for my parents and I on our cross country road trip! So secluded and up in the mountains. Exceeded all expectations. Such a beautiful, clean, cozy cabin. The drive up with spectacular. Donna was super helpful, kind, and detail oriented! Would love to stay with them again.

Our second stay - as good as the first
We very much enjoy Don and Donna's cabin. We love having the Roosevelt National Forest as our back yard and the peace and quiet it affords. And we enjoy hiking and there are tons of trails in the area to choose from. The cabin is well stocked with kitchen essentials, which is important as we like to do a little cooking and grilling to cut down on the trips to the nearest town for food and groceries. Donna was quick to respond to a couple of questions we had in the first two days. The only minor inconvenience was that the outside trash container was already full when we arrived so we had to store our trash inside the cabin for the duration of our stay, as we couldn't put it outside due to bears possibly making a visit. This was our second stay in the cabin and we'll be looking to make a third stay in the future for sure.

Rural, wooded forest, cabin in the woods- away from traffic, furnished with all the amenities. A get-away. Never really expected having TV reception (x3).....a wood burning stove, washer/dryer, all the creature comforts. Clean/friendly and homey.

Great launching point to enjoy the mountains
Had a great stay at the very cute cabin. Had everything listed and a well stocked kitchen with utensils. Make sure to remember/write down the entry code before you are out of cell reception. Once at the cabin the wifi worked well- but it was a great chance to disconnect. The owners were very quick and friendly at responding.

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!

Nice comfortable quiet place
This is a true cabin in the woods. Quite and comfortable. It has everything you need. I only spent four night and drove to Eldora to ski each day. The drive took 20+ minutes and was an easy drive. There is a wood stove that kept us nice and warm. Beds were comfortable and clean. Very relaxing.

Great Getaway !
We stayed at The Dancin' Bear for a quick getaway from the city life. It was perfect ! Took a trip into Nederland and a trip to Blackhawk. Was pretty cold to explore the backyard this time. Topped each night off with a fire in the wood stove to take the chill off. Kitchen was well equipped with everything needed. Thanks again and we'll definitely be back !

Comfortable Cabin, So much to do!
We had such a great time! The cabin was not only clean and and very comfortable, with everything you may need for your stay, but they also provide so much for a really enjoyable stay in the mountains - hiking packs/poles for us, but also snowshoes, games and other stuff. Hiking right out the back door, Grilling on the porch next to the aspen trees, watching all the wildlife, and exploring the local towns. A week was not enough!

Beautiful, quiet getaway
This is an amazing place with gorgeous scenery. Well kept, comfortable and quiet. Just watching the critters get after the birdseed was worth the trip, but the drive to Central City during the leaf changing season was breathtaking. Great, personable communication with the owners just sealed the deal. We will be back.

Stress Free Stay
We 100% loved our stay here. We spent our time walking in the woods, bird watching and relaxing on the deck hand feeding Chickadees and Chipmonks. My wife felt like Snow White;) The cabin was just perfect to us, and greatly stocked with everything we could need minus food. The location was just beautiful, far enough into the mountains to have absolute quiet with stores nearby if we needed anything. The Aspens leaves blowing in the wind was hypnotic. Donna was quick to answer any questions we had and we would totally consider staying there again.

Gorgeous and peaceful
We loved our stay at the cabin (in early August 2022). The location was beautiful: set back from the road, surrounded by trees, and full of adorable chipmunks and squirrels (and squirrels that look like chipmunks). Lots of woodpeckers and hummingbirds, too. It was very quiet and at night after the clouds cleared the night sky was amazing. The drives from both Golden and Boulder are curvy and beautiful, and the waterfall on the way to Boulder is worth stopping at. The hiking trails behind the cabin are fun and the kids loved that we could just pop out for a hike without more car time. Golden Gate Canyon State Park is about 10 minutes away and even on a busy weekend had available parking at trailheads. We saw 3 moose on the Horseshoe trail in 2 days, and at fairly close range (a little too close, maybe!). The house itself was very well stocked and comfortable. The hosts thought of everything down to shampoo and laundry soap; they also replied instantly to any questions I had. The kids (10 and 14) appreciated having TVs in their rooms so they could watch their own shows after a day of hard hiking. The bird feeders on the deck attracted lots of birds; my favorites were the giant hairy woodpeckers that were determined to get hummingbird nectar (they'd also chase the chipmunks away from the seed feeder). We spent a lot of time on the deck and on the patio outside one of the bedrooms, and the kids liked the tree swings. We loved Colorado and it was well worth the drive from Houston. And to other travelers that aren't familiar with Colorado's weather: The forecast for our stay was rain every day, but it was usually just a brief thunderstorm in the late afternoon that was easily planned around. TLDR: Loved the cabin, would highly recommend it, and if we take another Colorado trip, we'd stay here again.
