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 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!

Absolutely Captivating

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.

Perfect mountain getaway

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!

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!
