Wonderful Summer Trip

Overall, Ive stayed here several times at this point and ive always adored the stay. The only issue with this trip was the air hockey table didnt produce any air. But every other ammenity was perfectly functional. It was such a small detail that we forgot about it after the first hour we were there. I adore this spot and its a perfect place to enjoy deep creek from

We got there the 1st night, everything was wonderful. We wake up the next morning to a maintenence guy draining and cleaning the hot tub. He was filling it back up with a hose, he left, we did not have water pressure at all due to the hot tub getting filled up. He came back and asked if we were checking out that day. I told him no, we were here for 1 more night. He said on his app through vacasa that we were supposed to be checking out today. At that point, we had to choose whether to have a hot tub or water through the house since he was draining the well.

Clean and well appointed.

The property was clean on the inside and very comfortable. Loved the screened in deck. Had a bit of an issue with figuring out how to use the Nest thermostat, instructions may be helpful. Loved the hot tub, clean and worked well. Lots of plates and glasses and pans. Not a lot of space for pantry items.

Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy
The stay was appalling to say the least. The kitchen was unmaintained with ZERO cleanliness. There were multiple insects in bowls. The dishwasher did NOT work and it leaked water. Cobwebs literally everywhere inside the cabin. Washer and Dryer did NOT work nor were plugged in upon us getting to the cabin. Appliances were crusty, dirty, and smelled awful. Stovetop smelled like gas. Ceiling fan lights did not work. And the biggest issue of all is the thermostat did NOT work and upon calling Vacasa they stated they would call me back and they NEVER did, all the while it was -14 inside of our cabin. Not only does this have a risk of leading to hypothermia, but it was also a bad look on the company as they did NOT listen to our concerns. All in all I wouldn't recommend this cabin to ANYONE, not even my worst enemy. Steer clear of this cabin AT ALL COSTS!

Nice house. We enjoyed our stay. A few broken things: The grill ignite button was broken on our arrival. The hot tub was shoring error code FL1 on our arrival. The hot tub pad lock strap was broken on our arrival. We called within the first hour of arrival to report the hot tub issue requesting someone come out and fix it- no one did.

Cozy Winter Gathering

My family gathered to celebrate my daughter’s 30th birthday. We went snow tubing, and had a great time! The Lazy Bear cabin’s decor gave a welcoming, comfortable atmosphere. The gas fireplace and great room are a cozy space where we relaxed and enjoyed the warmth, comfortable furniture and thoughtfully prepared atmosphere. Everything was clean and ready for us when we arrived. The hot tub was a great indulgence during a cold winter weekend. I had a question, and the Vacasa management answered in 20 minutes. Head’s up to the “no winter maintenance/ 4-wheel drive,” as one vehicle in our group had some trouble leaving due to snow squalls, and the property’s walkways were not cleared of snow and ice as stated in the property description. With the proper vehicles and footwear, property access was no problem.

Nice weekend getaway

My friend and I visited for the weekend and had a really nice time! The place was clean and had plenty of space. Can’t wait to go back with a big group. A couple things were not ideal, but not major. We couldn’t get the fireplace to work upstairs. We ultimately ended up using the base board heat and it was fine. I picked up the coffee pot carafe and the handle broke off. The fire pit was great, but it’d be nice if they had a fire poker or something to help the manage the fire. The plumbing in the bathroom upstairs needs attention. We had to plunge the toilet every.single.use. It was a little frustrating.

Disappointed

I’m very disappointed with this cabin. It was very dirty! The dishwasher had dirty dishes in it. Living room had dog hair all over the rug! Thought this was no pets allowed? Dropped phone behind couch and found loads of dust and dirt. The first bedroom by the down stairs bedroom was okay until something you looked under the bunk beds and there were crumbs and loads of dust. The second bedroom had crumbs in the bed and dog hair! The upstairs bed off to the right had a legit brown stain! It looked like someone spilled coffee or soda on it! The upstairs bathroom had dead bugs and black hairs in the shower! The amount of spider webs in this house was ridiculous. The family room was covered in dog hair! We completely felt gross when we left. The hot tub cover was broken and the cover to the filter was missing. Other than that, it was very spacious and had plenty of sleeping space. Very close to the lake.

Amazing cabin, wonderful location

The cabin was wonderful!! The location is great with a private beach access in the community. Couple of hiccups the fridge was lagging the whole time with very little food inside it, at one point the freezer leaked and there was a large puddle of water in front of it. The family room was UNBEARABLY HOT! There is 2 large fans n this room but it’s not enough to cool it down and 2/4 of the windows in this room don’t have screens, this is also the TV room and it is just too hot to spend anytime in there at all, it needs to have a portable AC unit or window unit installed.

Weekend with family

We had a good time and the house had plenty of space. I felt that it could have been a little cleaner (ceiling fans / silver ware / drawers/ bathroom exhaust fan). The large coffee pot didn't work and over-flowed and needs replaced. Light bulbs out all over the house which was frustrating. Nice house though, and we enjoyed our time.

Lazy Bear Lodge Stay

We loved the peacefulness of the area. The home was very accommodating. Have no complaints other than the screened in porch that was lovely and needs a deep cleaning. Also, some new cookware would be nice and added cooking utensils are needed. It really is a nice place to stay and I would do it again.
