Why This Home Stands Out Lazy Bear Lodge delivers the classic Russian River cabin experience with plenty of room to enjoy the redwoods. Log-cabin character, multiple fireplaces, expansive tri-level decks, and a private hot tub create a cozy forest retreat, while nearby river access, Guerneville, Armstrong Redwoods, and Sonoma Wine Country keep adventures close at hand.
Living Spaces Warm wood interiors and forest views give Lazy Bear Lodge its inviting cabin atmosphere. Settle into comfortable seating by the fireplace, stream a movie on the Smart TV, or step directly onto the deck and let the redwoods become part of the living space.
Kitchen & Dining The fully equipped kitchen features granite countertops and high-end appliances for easy meals at home. Gather for dinner with forest views or fire up the gas BBQ and take the evening outside onto the decks.
BEDROOMS & SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS Primary Suite — Queen Bed A comfortable Queen suite with a private ensuite bathroom and Smart TV.
Bedroom 2 — Queen Bed A welcoming Queen bedroom surrounded by the peaceful forest setting.
Bedroom 3 — Twin Bed A cozy Twin bedroom for an additional guest.
Bedroom 4 / Office — Queen Sleeper Sofa A flexible bonus bedroom and office space with a Queen sleeper sofa.
Bathrooms Three full bathrooms provide plenty of convenience for up to six guests, including a private ensuite in the primary suite and tub/shower combinations.
A washer and dryer are also available for guest use.
Outdoor Living The tri-level decks are one of the highlights of Lazy Bear Lodge, creating multiple places to relax among the redwoods. Start the morning in an Adirondack chair, grill lunch on the gas BBQ, dine outside beneath the trees, or rinse off in the outdoor shower after an adventure. When evening arrives, slip into the private hot tub and settle into the quiet forest surroundings.

Fun & Beautiful place to get away. Nothing like having a gorgeous redwood tree in the backyard. Loved the hot tub and hanging out on the decks. No grass for the dogs but worked out okay. Everything was clean and nice. Fans and light fixtures were dirty and could use some TLC. Other than that it was perfect.

Property was clean and well furnished. Beautiful trees and landscaping. It was close enough to downtown and Armstrong without being right in the middle so very quiet and peaceful.

It was a very cute house with what you need.
We absolutely loved our stay at Lazy Bear. The house was gorgeous and the backyard patio was a dream! Communication with the host was seamless and they went above and beyond to give us the best stay imaginable. It was the perfect weekend celebrating my husbands birthday, and we would love to book this property again!

Comfortable, well-appointed home in a quiet neighborhood just outside of Guernville. We enjoyed the cozy living room (with a fireplace) and the excellent outdoor porch right in the redwoods with a hottub and a grill. Great stay and very kind, responsive customer care, thank you!

We are very happy you enjoyed your stay at Lazy Bear Lodge. Being surrounded by redwoods gives this house a feeling of privacy and makes you feel so far away from home!
We look forward to hosting your again.

This house was clean and well appointed. The beds could use a refresh (mattresses not the most supportive and bed frame was noisy) but overall this was a great choice for our group of 4. The setting is beautiful, in a quiet neighborhood of other well-kept homes, but it is a bit of a walk on a busy road to get into town. Would stay here again if i needed something in the area.

Liked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy
Overall a great little place to stay.The beds are very creaky make a lot of noise and our semi comfortable.Hot tub wat hot enough although be careful it is old and the jets do not adjust.Watch out for cob webs and spiders they are all over the outside of the house.If you have little kids with you be aware that the front windows do not have screens so if you open them and they climb on the couch they can fall out.If you plan your vacation and you know there's going to be political rallies avoid this place the little town is very politically active.Would probably stay here again.

We are sorry you didnt have a perfect stay, we will look at the beds although we get great reviews on the house. Cobwebs get created over night and the house is surrounded by the forest. As for the screens we will be going by the house to confirm that and see where that is a problem, again Lazy bear is one of our most popular homes and holds a 5 star review. We appreciate all of this input and hope to host you again!
