Nice place but right on the road

The cabin was nice and well maintained but it’s not as private as desired. The hot tub is literally next to the road and there were a lot more cars than one would expect from a pace so far out.

As advertised

A quiet little cabin tucked away in the mountains just as advertised. The stream running nearby was nice a peaceful sounding. There was no window unit AC like in the picture (could be because it's so early in the season) but we worked around it with opening windows and using the ceiling fans. Shelley was an awesome host, very quick responses to any and all questions and concerns. Would highly recommend to anyone.

ADORABLE CABIN / WONDERFUL HOST

Lazy Bear was the perfect place for my husband and I to rest & relax for a couple days. The cabin was clean, with all the extras you would need for your stay. And the artwork and decor is awesome. Shelley sent all the information needed for check in 2 days before the trip & even let us know we could check in before 3, since the cabin was ready. Make sure to take a drive up the mountain! The views are amazing! We just followed the main road. The hot tub and creek are a plus. We left one day to sitesee, but couldn't wait to return and enjoy the peace at the cabin.
