Family Vacation

One of our younger grandchildren said, “This is the best house and best vacation yet.” I just might have to agree. This property was perfect for our 22 family members. Sleeping arrangements were very good, the kitchen worked so well as we prepared and served meals, and the front porch was perfect for visiting while some played in the pool or played hide and seek on the four acres. Our teenagers enjoyed the media room and adults and children alike loved playing shuffleboard, air hockey, badminton, and more in the game room. We went tubing and hiking and then relaxed back in this beautiful home nestled in a quiet neighborhood in the northeast Georgia mountains. We give this a five star recommendation.

Wedding Accomodations

My immediate family and I rented the property to stay in for my daughter's wedding. The house was convenient to our location and check in and out was easy. My only regret is that I didn't have more time to spend at the house. I think I'll have to bring the family back when we can stay longer and don't have a wedding. The bedrooms were spacious, there were plenty of sleeping rooms, the kitchen was large and well equipped, and the game room was amazing (I really wanted to play more shuffleboard!). Would love to come back and hang out by the pool. I was stressed enough with my daughter's wedding but as soon as I stepped into the house I started to relax because it was so comfortable and inviting.

Wedding Weekend at Lazy Bear

My family of 20 and I stayed at Lazy Bear for a wedding that was held at Yonah Mountain winery. We arrived on Thursday night, and everything was beyond perfect. The house had so many amenities and extras that we didn’t even need to bring all that we did. There were large TV’s in each room. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the necessary items to include coffee, condiments, and spices, and all of the Kitchen tools you can think of. There were game rooms and sound speakers, and plenty of rooms for all of us to spread out. This house is the perfect place for a large group to sta. There was even 1 room we missed that had a ping pong table and foose-ball table..we’ll have to catch it on our next visit. The other part of our family, who was the actual wedding party stayed at the host’s, other VRBO called Country Farm Estate, #2366040. We were able to visit them on Saturday and saw how wonderful their location was as well. It had two houses that were fully stocked, beautifully decorated, and a pool and hot tub in between them. They had so much space to spread out as well and even ended up staying an extra day because it was so perfect and they couldn’t pass it up. They had out of town guests in and were able to celebrate the bride and groom, and visit as a family in the perfect location. Each of these houses owned and operated by the host are fantastic. I would absolutely stay there again, and I would totally recommend them to anyone looking to host a large party.

Excellent property, a few issues.

The house is amazing. The caretakers and the owners are attentive and respond quickly. However, we found the pool in poor condition. Apparently, it was being observed for a leak (which it did appear to have) and had been turned off before our arrival. It was quite littered with debris. Robert and Gary both attempted to get the pool cleaners out, but they never showed. Once we got the pool turned on, the surface debris filtered out, but the trash remained in the bottom. My group refused to let it deter their fun, though. We swam in it anyway. We did have an issue with the tv's. We never were able to play a dvd in the media room. This was very disappointing as we were planning to view Dirty Dancing. (this was an all ladies trip). I was also told that the tv was never gotten to work in one of the bedrooms. I would suggest instructions be made available in order to remedy this. Besides these issues, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and loved the house. The decor was very nice and there were such nice touches throughout.

the home was absolutely fantastic and the property owner was extremely responsive and accessible. we hosted about 35 people at the house for an afternoon wedding. we could not have been happier; there was plenty of room for the caterer and everyone to spread out comfortably. Additionally there are tons of games in the lower part of the home to keep everyone entertained in the evenings.

While incredibly spacious with a variety of spaces to relax, the home has a very welcoming, cozy vibe. Our favorite time was relaxing in the great room after a day of hiking, followed by movie night in the theater room. My brother in law and sister loved the karaoke, whereas I wanted to burn the machine down! Everyone reported very comfortable beds - essential after active days. Just wonderful in all respects.

Fantastic Vacation!

Our family summer vacation with you could not have been any more perfect! There were 15 of us, ranging in age from 7 to 77, and the property was so spacious that we could all have our own space and privacy. The amenities are unbelievable and the pool just made the stay for the kids! The house was so very clean, and was stocked better than any other property we have ever rented for our family summer vacation. My wife took some of the grandkids for a hike up the mountain, and found such beautiful waterfalls and the absolute beauty of God’s creation! We even got visited by a deer one morning! We will be back! Thanks for everything!

Fantastic 13th Birthday Party

I [bravely] took 13 tweens to Lazy Bear Lodge to celebrate my daughter’s birthday. The house was absolutely perfect for the trip—huge (!) with tons to keep a bunch of kids busy. They didn’t even get around to enjoying all the available games, spaces, activities to be honest. The pool was fantastic—we brought our own outdoor screen and showed a nighttime movie. There were plenty of spaces to sleep for everyone. The kitchen was very well appointed. 10/10 would recommend!

Great Thanksgiving trip!

We rented the Lazy Bear lodge for Thanksgiving. We had a group of 19 with ages ranging from 6 to 72 and the home accommodated everyone with room to spare. There was plenty of room for cooking for everyone and places to sit and eat inside and outside. There’s an awesome game room that the kids enjoyed a lot with foosball, air hockey, and pool. During our stay the owner brought a karaoke machine which we thoroughly enjoyed. Both the property manager and owner were very helpful with any questions or concerns that we had and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was enjoyable. Mr Sloane was awesome and even told us about his other home nearby which we will definitely be staying at in the future.
