Cozy Stay
We had an amazing time staying at Shelley’s place. She was so helpful as well, very prompt when we needed it. The cabin is oh so cozy. My dog loved it as well. We will be back! Thank you, Shelley.

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.

Nice stay
Host was very accommodating and gracious throughout our stay. The cabin was clean, well-stocked with sheets, towels, dishes, pillows, blankets, land-line, and more, and very comfortable. Sturdy dog run great for our two dogs. Definitely a repeat!

Peaceful secluded Cabin. Beautiful area of NC with amazing views.
We had an awesome time in this peaceful secluded cabin. The cabin was very cozy, and in a beautiful area of the NC mountains. Relaxing hot tub which we thoroughly enjoyed. A great fenced in yard for my dogs, they loved it! The owners were the best, and only a phone call away when we needed them. Do yourself a favor and drive all the way up the mountain to see some of the most amazing views you can find.

Lazy Bear host was great!
Being honest, I was not able to make my trip. However, I had the most pleasant exchanges with the owner of the property. I use short term rentals often. It has been my experience that the way a management person handles correspondence is a good indicator of the condition of the property hence my review. I will book this place again as my schedule allows.

Amazing vacation!
My husband and I had the absolute best week staying there! The house was very clean and welcoming and the fenced in yard was heaven for our dog. We loved sitting on the porch and soaking in the sounds of the creek and the mountains. It was so peaceful!! The hot tub was a wonderful bonus, which we appreciated so much. The host was very helpful and easy to work with. This place is amazing and I would highly recommend staying there. Thank you for the wonderful week!!!

Great property and excellent host
We were super-impressed with this rental. The photos in the listing were taken toward the end of the owner/host's renovation, and don't really do it full justice... it's so much better than it looked in the listing. The location is remote and very private, which is just what we were looking for to relax and get away from it all. There is no cell signal, but there is great wifi and and internet phone provided. Although the cabin itself is older and nothing fancy, literally everything is new, including the furnishings, fire pit, and hot tub. The bed we slept in was very comfortable, and the bath towels are soft and large enough to wrap yourself in. We brought our two dogs, and the fenced-in yard was perfect for them. Everything we needed was provided for us. The hot tub was awesome and we enjoyed the sounds of the little stream across the road. We did have a 40 minute delay getting in upon arrival because the doorknob remained locked even after we entered the deadbolt code, but the host (Shelley) came out as soon as she could get there to unlock it and let us in. In fact, the host was extremely attentive and accommodating. I messaged her several times for various reasons and she always responded quickly and helped me with whatever I needed. We loved it so much, we even stayed an extra night! We loved Shelley and will definitely rent this little gem again!
