Lazy Bear was more than we even anticipated. The cabin is beautiful, impeccably clean, with a well-stocked kitchen full of items you’d need for a stay. Relaxing in the hot tub while looking at a clear sky full of stars was worth every single penny to book this cabin. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend to anyone!

This is our third stay at this property. We enjoy it every time. Very cozy and relaxing.

We highly recommend this cottage. Very clean, great location and the owner is very accommodating. Definitely 5-stars!!!

I loved this place and how clean and quite. It’s close to the hikes, and Asheville as well. The only thing that I wished for is the cabin to be far enough form the neighbors but that was on me for not checking before actually reserving this place but I enjoyed this place and would recommend it.

Very easy going. The property was centrally located and very clean. The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet.

Our stay overall was good. The cleaning crew didn’t get done a minute too soon. As we were checking in, they were leaving. The cabin is cute and cozy. The hot tub was the best part. We loved the fire pit although there were only 3 chairs (4 were pictured), and they sank into the ground when you sat in them. We didn’t like having to fool with taking trash off property the day we were heading home (yes we knew about this ahead of time, but it’s just silly that the cleaning crew can’t do this because you know they will have trash from cleaning!), and having to empty the dishwasher before we left meant we had to have everything clean prior to leaving which isn’t much fun when you’re packing and trying to get out by checkout time not to mention makes cooking breakfast the morning you leave not possible without having to wash all the dishes. That’s what the cleaning crew is for in my opinion. We did get to see elk the morning we left which was a nice surprise. Dog kennel nearby is a bit noisy at times, but that didn’t bother us too much. Loved having the backyard area for kids to run around and play in. Again, overall we enjoyed our stay other than the dishes and trash upon leaving.

The cabin was perfect for our needs. Close to town bit away from the highway w wood fire and hot tub.

Good location as a base of operations to see all the attractions in and around Maggie Valley

Lazy Bear was a great treat for our escape from the Florida heat. The cabin was cozy and relaxing. Close to all the things we love and wanted to see. We would definitely keep this cabin on our top 10 for revisits to Maggie Valley.

Nice cabin, very clean and well laid out. Comfortable beds and plenty of room. I would highly recommend.

Comfortable clean cabin for short stay in the mountains. Cabin has everything you’ll need including a nice hot tub on the back porch. Neighbors close by but very friendly….would definitely stay here again.

We stayed at Lazy Bear for 14 days. Beautiful setting and very comfortable. Convenient, and only a few minutes to Maggie Valley, waterfalls and trails. We are looking forward to returning in the fall or next summer.

The house is very clean and set in a quiet neighborhood. It is hilly so if your on a bike be careful. It is close to Things to do. Overall it was a great vacation with friends, this is a nice place to relax.

We look forward to coming back here again. The cabin was adorable and such a beautiful setting. The cabin was well appointed. The location made it so easy to get into town or take side trips to nearby towns. The property owner, Jane was very easy to communicate with. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We had a great time. Nice 4 day relaxing stay at the lazy bear. The star gazing from the hot tub was beautiful. Beds are super comfy. Lovely furnishings. Friendly accommodating owner. Quiet, relaxing, comfortable home away from home. Would love to stay here again.

The cabin's location is ideal for a family who loves to ski and have plenty of downtime with their loved ones (including pets). The travel distance to the ski resort is only about 1.5 miles. We had plenty of time to enjoy indoor and outdoor family activities. No sitting in traffic kind of vacation. The cabin is in a quaint old time neighborhood and yet close enough to downtown convenient stores, restaurants, groceries and pharmacies.

The cabin was very conveniently located in Maggie valley, with easy driveway access and minutes from restaurants and breweries. The cabin was easy to find and the check in process was easy as well. The beds were comfortable. There were a few things that were disappointing. There were several things missing in the VRBO description, which are emailed to you right before check in, including that there is no wood provided for the fire place (not even duraflame logs or a lighter), and there is no trash pick up so you have to drive your trash to the recycling center which is 7 miles (14 minutes) away. During the check out process they ask you to wash and put away all of your dishes, start laundry for the towels, and remove the trash. This was a bit frustrating during the morning of check out because we couldn't start the towels until the dishes were done. So by the time we ate an early breakfast, we spent the morning doing chores while trying to pack up and be out by 10. Additionally the dish washer did not turn on, and there was no note that it was broken, so we loaded it with dirty dishes all weekend, only to have to take everything back out and wash by hand (and put away) the morning of check out. Regarding the hot tub, there is a $75 fee added whether you use the hot tub or not. Upon check in, you are sent notice that if you do not shower or if any residue is in the hot tub upon check out, you will be charged a penalty of $250. There is a strict noise ordinance at 10pm, which was no problem for us, but that was also not in the VRBO description and could be an issue for someone. Ironically, there was no noise ordinance for the kennel of barking dogs that barked the entire duration of our stay. Lastly, there were smaller details that were overlooked such as only providing ONE partially-used roll of toilet paper per bathroom with NO spares in the entire cabin. One roll of paper towels, no food storage containers or plastic wrap, baggies, only one dish sponge that was already used and dirty, etc. As an owner of a vacation rental property myself, they definitely skimped on providing basic supplies. The VRBO description said the kitchen was fully stocked, they must have been referring to only dishes and utensils because there was no coffee, etc. I hope this honest feedback helps the property manager improve future rentals.

Very spacious layout with beautiful views

We loved the Lazy Bear Cabin. The cabin was exactly as described and very close to Maggie Valley. The host was very responsive to questions. I’ve already recommended the cabin to my friends and we hope to visit again soon. Barbara & Mike

We rented this cabin to ride motorcycles in the mountains. It was perfect for the 4 of us 2 bikes and the truck fit in the driveway, don’t try bringing your trailer up there. Every morning coffee on the deck and if you want end your night in the hot tub. Owner is extremely responsive, would do this again.

Enjoyed the home and stay, very nice home that was furnished adequately. Big plus on home being pet friendly and super quite neighborhood. Would stay again, host was very easy to communicate with and quick to respond with any questions.
