We had the most relaxing stay. The cabin was absolutely perfect and sitting out on the porch watching and listening to the wildlife was beautiful. We went for a walk out the road which is through the woods and so pretty. Trent and Tonja made us feel so welcome. We will definitely be going back. The hot tub was great and everything was very clean. We slept really good too.

This cabin was absolutely beautiful and very well maintained. We found a little spot of heaven on top of the mountain ❤️The hosts were very easy to keep in contact with, and were very kind. I can say with certainty that we will be returning to this hidden gem.

This cabin is secluded and a perfect small facility getaway. The cabin is clean, well decorated, and just like the pictures. Each of us loved every moment there. Thank you for a beautiful weekend away. The road coming into the property is rugged for about a mile.

Wild and wonderful WV stay!

I cannot recommend this cabin enough! If you want to experience what WV has to offer book now! The house is clean, spacious and welcoming! Kitchen is well stocked and the electric fireplace is a perfect touch! Enjoy the hot tub, deck and firepit! WV has so much to offer within a short drive and if you’re an early bird you can be at Bear Rocks on Dolly Sods in 20 minutes for sunrise!

Dreamy weekend getaway

Trent and Tonja were excellent hosts - they were very communicative leading up to and during our stay and made the check-in process as easy as could be, including detailed directions to the location and a day-of weather report. The property and home were gorgeous and clean with everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and relaxing. Some of our favorite parts of our stay included the hot tub, the outdoor fire pit, and the variety of board games available in the living room. We also enjoyed walking around the property and seeing the local wildlife, including woodpeckers. This was perfect for a holiday weekend getaway in the woods, and we definitely plan to return to the lazy bear!

We had such a wonderful time here! We’re from Deep South country but currently in a big city for work and wanted to get away to a secluded place out in the woods for Labor Day weekend, this cabin checked all of our boxes! Even more beautiful in person, lots of deer and birds out everyday, well equipped and cozy! Trent was such a kind host as well, even offered to meet us late at night to guide us in, as it can be difficult to navigate the timber roads but we managed with no problem. We definitely want to visit again when there’s snow on the ground

Awesome!

This is by far the cleanest house that we have ever stayed in. Tonja and Trent were very kind and made sure that we had a wonderful stay. The house is beautiful and away from everything. The lane was a bit rough but it tells you that in the description of the property. Glad we drove our truck. If you are thinking about renting this house I would say go for it!

Weekend

The cabin was beautiful and very clean! The house comes with towels for the hot tub, which is not listed. While we enjoyed our stay, the owner does come to the cabin every day to check the hot tub. I just felt this was very unnecessary and it was not mentioned anywhere.

Lazy Bear

The cabin is wonderful and accommodating. But, there are a couple of things future renters should know in advance. The cabin is at the end of a 2-mile heavily rutted dirt road. It's a tough drive. Cell access is spotty, even with wifi. Also, don't count on using GPS to get there or elsewhere in that area. I suggest that you download and print driving directions to anywhere you intend to go.

Polar Bear Lane

As soon as we arrived, all four of us said we weren't leaving. The pictures and description doesn't do it justice. Everything about it was perfect. The setting, the porch, the hot tub, the serenity, the size of the rooms. It was close to the destinations we wanted to visit. The host is very nice. He thought of everything for his guests comfort. We will definitely be revisiting this place. visit.This is one we would It was very clean.

Comfortable stay and amazing hospitality

My husband and I, along with two other couples, came here to celebrate my 40th birthday. The drive was in the rain and it had been a long night, but Trent (the host) made sure we got up the long driveway with no issue, told us about nearby places and how to work the fireplace and other things in the cabin. When we got settled in we saw that a welcome note and pepperoni roll was there! The cabin was extremely clean and comfortable; it was also well stocked with nice extras like sugar, coffee, and coffee filters. They went above and beyond to make sure all of the guests felt comfortable and enjoyed their stay. I am definitely planning on coming back!

Beautiful Comfy Get-Away House

We stayed here with our family for our daughter's wedding. The groom's family stayed in the Hummingbird House. Both houses were roomy, comfortable, and clean. We felt right at home with everything we needed for cooking, eating, sleeping, and getting prepared for the big day. Everything met or exceeded our expectations.
