Just finished my 2 night stay at Blue Bear. Upon driving up to the site the first thing we were struck with was a gorgeous mountain view. The site contains the converted shed with a loft bed, couch, wooden burning stove, mini fridge, microwave, wifi (starlink) and nice comfortable cabin decor. Outside the cabin was a table with 4 chairs covered by a retractable shade, an outdoor wood burning stove and a propane grill. The propane grill was a great touch especially with the current fire ban. Behind the cabin is a cold shower and an outhouse. Taking a cold shower in the early afternoon after a long hike felt amazing. There is a trail that leads behind the cabin that leads directly into the National Forest for exploring and wandering. My husband and I visited for our anniversary with our 2 dogs. The place was the perfect size for us and provided a romantic atmosphere. We were very impressed with all the small extras like the basket of extra water bottles and snack bars, paper plates and plasticware, lighters, hand sanitizer (in the outhouse and in the cabin), paper towels, and cleaning supplies. The location is in the back of a gated private property down a dirt road, which provided lots of privacy. For a dirt road it would be manageable for most cars, but I would suspect visitors in the winter would need chains and 4 wheel drive. Between the location, cabin, and amenities everything was absolutely amazing. Definitely recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

What a gem of a place. Unbelievable views of Indian peaks and super quiet panoramic vista. Hosts were kind and extremely helpful with everything we needed. The shower is fabulous. The toilet is immaculate. The picnic table and shade and grill and outdoor fireplace make for phenomenal cooking. I will definitely try to come back!

The place was incredible and SO cozy and private. We will *definitely* be coming back. We got to experience all the weather while we were there 🤣 85° and sunny, 60° and raining, and 30s° and snowing! All in a weekend! It was beautiful and well maintained so we felt very safe even during the snow. The view of the mountains was stunning!

My stay at Cesar’s cabin was wonderful! I had everything I needed, plus more. The bed was comfortable and clean, I had ample options for seating, the toilet was well-kept, and there were several appliances as my disposal. The site itself is on beautiful, private, and quiet land. There’s even a National Forest entrance nearby.

The Blue Bear cabin was absolutely gorgeous!! The wood burning stove (with wood chopped to the perfect size by the lad, shout out him) made the cabin so warm! The outhouse was super clean and very convenient. The view from the cabin is absolutely stunning and the quiet of the mountains is wonderful. Thank you so much for hosting us! We can’t wait to come again!

Perfect location close to Denver to get some quiet time. Beautiful views with plenty of hiking nearby. Comfy, clean, and well supplied with some of the basics. We will definitely be back

This is My Second time back to Visit this Magical Mountain & I can’t say enough about the Hosts and how incredibly special this place is and has become for Me. Thank You for creating Serenity in the Great Outdoors. I’m already planning my return from NOLA to the mountains.

Have stayed here a few times and it’s been pleasant and peaceful every time. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a tranquil quiet stay somewhere off the beaten path but still in an easy drive from the city.

We stayed in Blue Bear and had a lovely time! The amenities are great (outhouse, some snacks, refrigerator, power, grill, etc). The view from the cabin and scenery around it is beautiful. Highly recommend.

Upon arrival, I got to meet Linda- one of the amazing hosts, and her very friendly dogs and goats! 😍
This was truly the perfect little getaway from Denver! You have everything you need in this cozy and spacious spot!
I spent two nights up here by myself. Spent the day hiking Brainard Lake, then getting cozy by the outdoor and indoor fireplace. My last morning here, I woke up to a Winter Wonderland! Wow! I would have stayed an extra night, but sadly it was already booked. I will definitely be back again soon! 🤩

This land is beautiful, the lodge even better. But what made it all worth it was the reassurance that everything was going to work out. I had constant communication with Cesar as we had been travelling 18 hrs from Houston Texas. They made everything easy, asking questions and being patient. The lodge was stocked with necessities and even provided a grill, propane, a boot brush and even more two sources of heat. We were able to chop our own wood as well as purchase them from Cesar. It was all worth the drive and made my husband's and I anniversary exciting.

Cabin was very quaint and beautiful. Located in a very quiet area where we could just disconnect from everything for a few nights. It was exactly what we needed. We were very fortunate with the weather in December and will definitely have to come back!! Thank you for everything and an amazing quiet, relaxing weekend!

Top tier stay. The view is spectacular and the cabin was really complete feeling for the size of it. We would definitely come back and recommend it to others. We bumped into the owner and he seemed like a very nice guy too!
The wood stove brought us much joy and inspired many ideas.

The little bear or Blue bear is a very nice cozy place to stay. It has all essential things to make your stay comfortable and a remembering one. It is very peaceful and easy to reach. Plus cesar is very nice person and always responsive to your needs. Already planning for the next one at Blue/little bear.

This property was AMAZING! I stayed 2 nights by myself and I’m so grateful I found this site. The little bear cabin was perfect. Signage was clear leading up to the site. The road is dirt leading up to it and then gravel. The view from the cabin is great. Through the trees you can see the mountains, walk up the hill a tiny bit and amazing clear views. The grill worked well and there was firewood at the wood stove. The inside was clean and it was great to have the fridge/freezer, microwave and coffee maker. The cabinets had paper plates, plastic cups and some plastic utensils. The cabin keeps out the cold fairly well but it was a bonus to have the heater. The bed was comfortable and there was a cot below you could put together if you had another person that needed a spot. The porta potty was clean as was the site in general. You can see the other cabin from this one but it’s not too close. I highly suggest booking this cabin!

Beautiful view! We had a great stay. All images and posted amenities are accurate. The space is well insulated and kept heat well. We used the wood stove for heat before bed to ensure the temperature stayed up over the course of the night. We stayed in September and there are aspens on the property with a beautiful Mountain View. With a clear day you can see multiple mountains and some had snow on top!

Great spot! Cesar let us stay and check out the foothills for some moonlight photography. We had the sound of horses nearby, some birds, and a very glamorous tiny cabin to stay warm in while we waited for the clouds to clear. Enough distance from the nearby properties and the other cabin to feel on our own, and a good little hike nearby through a small aspen grove.

What a cool, serene, GORGEOUS spot. Close enough to Denver to have a night out in the mountains. WiFi, too, so working here is totally doable and you’d have the best view. The hosts have really stocked the place well and the outside and inside fires were perfect on a chilly night. Did I mean the vast night sky full of stars???

We loved our stay at the blue bear! The views are breathtaking. The space is comfortable. We appreciated the large signs directing us to the cabin, the art along the road, and the signage throughout the cabin. We were surprised to find a refrigerator and wifi as well. My daughter was so sad to have to depart. We definitely made some great memories on this trip and inspired to build my own cabin.
