Great house!

We had a great stay at this house. It’s well stocked with all the things you need. Everything seemed brand new. It’s about 15 min outside of Boone and 30-40 min to Hawks Nest, Beech Mtn and Grandfather Mtn. We would definitely stay here again.

Great place and location!

Very nice place to stay! You are just far enough away that you feel in the middle of nowhere but you are within 10 minutes of downtown Boone and APP state! Would love to be the first one the owner calls when they want to sell it!

Nice home

House was beautiful. Great location. One bathroom was not working, dishwasher wouldn’t drain , the smell of sewer in the master bathroom was awful lack of communication was disappointing and the hot tub was filthy with a greenish film all around you could wipe off.

Perfect get away home

This home was the perfect set up for a girls trip. Open kitchen with plenty of space for multiple people to help prepare meals if needed. Three full bathrooms which accommodated 6 girls nicely. Plenty of beds and space. Amazing view! The road leading to the house is steep and gravel so be prepared for that, but the driveway is nicely paved with PLENTY of parking. Garage was essential for storing our bicycles and the hot tub was HOT! Would 10/10 recommend and hope to stay there again soon.

Cozy Winter Mountain Getaway

The Lazy Bear Inn was perfect for our family’s Christmas getaway. Location is close to downtown Boone and a short drive to snowboarding and skiing attractions. It was well stocked with ample space for five adults to easily co-exist. The fenced in backyard was also perfect for our fur legged friends. The only issue we had was lack of any assistance with water access on the property when temperatures dropped to -8. It was a holiday weekend which makes slow response times understandable, but we were told someone would be out to the property to assist and no one showed up.
