Our group of eight from Alabama, South Dakota, Oregon, North Carolina, and Tennessee spent seven wonderful days at the lazy Bear Lodge. We absolutely loved our time on site and rated our stay five plus. The lazy bear is very comfortable for a group of our size and offered amenities that helped us to reconnect immediately. Most of us had not seen each other for nearly 6 years. There's an outdoor fire pit that is close by yet far enough away to view the evening stars and moonlight a hot tub nearby to close out the evening or to wake up as the sun leans over the mountains. And then there's an open floor plan with a large kitchen on the first floor and plenty of area for a group to prepare a feast and enjoy one another's company. The site is private secluded beautiful inside and outside, providing close access to local stores as well as major outdoor recreational venues in the Appalachian mountain range and in Asheville itself beginning with a Riverwalk art district. Thank you for helping make our time so special !plus.plus

Wonderful time in the Ashville area!

The location of the cabin is very remote which is great for a peaceful, quiet get away; it is only 20 minute drive to ashville! The kitchen had everything we needed and the hot tub and fire pit was the perfect ending to every evening. Truly is a perfect cabin for a friend get away or family vacation! The host was quick to respond with any questions.

Great place. Wish there was a grill tho

Our two families (4 adults, 5 kids ages 6-14) had an enjoyable Memorial Day weekend at the cabin. The indoor space was comfortable and cozy. The cabin was well stocked with hand and dish soaps, towels, extra blankets and bedding. The kids liked the various games and books to keep entertained. The outdoor space was especially great. The hot tub is very large with an outdoor table for dining and a fantastic fire pit. We spent a lot of time enjoying the outdoor setup. A grill out there would have been even better. It did storm one late afternoon and the power went out. Huge branches had fallen onto the road, but communication was good and assistance was provided. Be aware the cabin is near the end of a longer one-lane drive that many homes share. We had a few instances of configuring to allow other vehicles getting through. There isn’t much around the Leicester area, but Ingles for groceries was about a 10 minute drive. Going to downtown Asheville took about 25-30 minutes. Trails and breweries were closer to 20 minutes. Overall, we had a fun time and enjoyed the property.

Everything was great! Beautiful place

The cabin was a great place to stay for our long weekend in Asheville. It accommodated our 10 person group very well. The outdoor fireplace/hot tub was the perfect place for everyone to gather and relax in the evenings, it’s truly a great setup. The kitchen/dining/living room area is also great for a crowd, plenty of space. We drank coffee on the deck overlooking the woods each morning. The road to get to the cabin is a little tricky, but nothing unmanageable - 20 minute drive to Asheville.

Beautiful spot set back in Leicester, 20 min from Asheville. Thank you!
