Best Asheville Cabin

This cabin is gorgeous! The details in all the rooms are so fun and interesting. Beds were very comfortable, and it is spotless. The owner landscaped before our visit and the gardens were very pretty. 15 min drive to Asheville. The Ingles grocery store is 5 minutes away is huge and has everything you may need. The owners were prompt with a hot tub issue and came right over to fix it. I can't say enough about this beautiful property. Book it today, Asheville is back!!

5 Plus

Our group of eight from Alabama, South Dakota, Oregon, North Carolina, and Tennessee spent seven wonderful days at the lazy Bear Lodge. We absolutely loved our time on site and rated our stay five plus. The lazy bear is very comfortable for a group of our size and offered amenities that helped us to reconnect immediately. Most of us had not seen each other for nearly 6 years. There's an outdoor fire pit that is close by yet far enough away to view the evening stars and moonlight a hot tub nearby to close out the evening or to wake up as the sun leans over the mountains. And then there's an open floor plan with a large kitchen on the first floor and plenty of area for a group to prepare a feast and enjoy one another's company. The site is private secluded beautiful inside and outside, providing close access to local stores as well as major outdoor recreational venues in the Appalachian mountain range and in Asheville itself beginning with a Riverwalk art district. Thank you for helping make our time so special !plus.plus

Beautiful, quiet cabin get away

The location of the cabin is very remote which is great for a peaceful, quiet get away; it is only 20 minute drive to ashville! The kitchen had everything we needed and the hot tub and fire pit was the perfect ending to every evening. Truly is a perfect cabin for a friend get away or family vacation! The host was quick to respond with any questions.

Cozy Bear Cabin

Our two families (4 adults, 5 kids ages 6-14) had an enjoyable Memorial Day weekend at the cabin. The indoor space was comfortable and cozy. The cabin was well stocked with hand and dish soaps, towels, extra blankets and bedding. The kids liked the various games and books to keep entertained. The outdoor space was especially great. The hot tub is very large with an outdoor table for dining and a fantastic fire pit. We spent a lot of time enjoying the outdoor setup. A grill out there would have been even better. It did storm one late afternoon and the power went out. Huge branches had fallen onto the road, but communication was good and assistance was provided. Be aware the cabin is near the end of a longer one-lane drive that many homes share. We had a few instances of configuring to allow other vehicles getting through. There isn’t much around the Leicester area, but Ingles for groceries was about a 10 minute drive. Going to downtown Asheville took about 25-30 minutes. Trails and breweries were closer to 20 minutes. Overall, we had a fun time and enjoyed the property.

Great Cabin for Entertaining

The cabin was a great place to stay for our long weekend in Asheville. It accommodated our 10 person group very well. The outdoor fireplace/hot tub was the perfect place for everyone to gather and relax in the evenings, it’s truly a great setup. The kitchen/dining/living room area is also great for a crowd, plenty of space. We drank coffee on the deck overlooking the woods each morning. The road to get to the cabin is a little tricky, but nothing unmanageable - 20 minute drive to Asheville.

Excellent Stay - GREAT COMMUNICATION

The place is wonderful on so many levels. It's very secluded and private. The kitchen is stocked full of everything you need to cook for many families. We had a few minor issues, but the host was communicative, fixed the issues, and issued us some compensation for our troubles. We will be back!

Wonderful Place to stay!!

I don't know where to start, this place is more beautiful in person, the pictures do not do enough for this place. The place was clean and well kept. We had 10 guest and it was just perfect. The cabin was a short drive to Asheville and uber was used also. If you have a large group, this is definitely the place for you. It is secluded and the outdoor area was spectacular. The hot tub was a plus. The owner will respond if you need. The kitchen had everything you will need and more. We would definitely stay again. Thank you Liz for your place, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselved and Asheville! Compliments

Perfect Getaway at Lazy Bear Lodge

This property was the perfect place for our girls getaway to the Asheville NC area. The cabin was incredible, even more beautiful than the VRBO photos. We could not have been happier with our experience, and we highly recommend Lazy Bear Lodge to anyone who wants a beautiful, quiet oasis where they can unplug from the bustle of life and recharge.

Wonderful Mountain Cabin

Our ladies book club takes an annual trip to a different location each year, featuring places we’ve read books about. This year we chose Asheville and the cabin in Leicester was a perfect place for us! Convenient but also quiet. The home was well stocked and had lots of amenities. We would definitely recommend to others and stay there again!

It absolutely has it all ❤️❤️

Our stay at the Lazy Bear was above and beyond ❤️❤️ Liz was absolutely amazing and easy to work with. Liz set up pack and play for the baby and double checked everything before we arrived and she always got back to me with answers immediately. Place is cozy but yet big enough for our family and grandkids. The outdoor living was my favorite. Swing on back deck was my favorite it is like a twin bed with a slow glide. Front yard was flat to play games, hot tub with high top table to hang around, firepit was beautifully set up. I think we enjoyed every piece of the place. We found a karaoke machine in the closet, talk about fun 🤣. We struggled leaving the place it felt like a resort, we could have not left the entire weekend. We would definitely come back here again next time but we might need more bedrooms, it will definitely be hard to find something this nice ❤️❤️

About the host

Hosted by Liz Rongstad

Host profile image
We are a family of 5 and we have lived in Asheville over 15 years and love this area. Don is a local realtor and we came across this cabin and decided it would be perfect to offer as a vacation rental. Liz is a stay at home mom who is in charge of managing the rentals. We have 3 kids ages 18, 15, and 12.

Why they chose this property

As soon as we saw it, we were intrigued by the beauty of the landscaping and unique structure of the cabin. It spoke to us and the opportunity to buy it just seemed like it was meant to be.

What makes this property unique

The privacy and setting of the house makes it such a peaceful place to stay.
