Property was about right for the price. Owner should let customers know where the breaker box is. We lost power several times and we couldn’t locate it. It was in the bathroom behind a wooden door and pillows stacked in front of it. It was probably a one-off thing. Outside the cabin needs a little sprucing up. I’m sure the housekeeper doesn’t do outside. Overall, a good stay and centrally located.

This was a wonderful experience! As others have said the place was extremely clean. Check in process couldn’t have been any easier. The home was near NOA whitewater Center and also near the Great Smokey Mountain Railway. The accommodations were everything we needed and Jaime was very kind and communicative. We had such a lovely time.

Beautiful location, super cozy residence

Very well equipped, beautiful cabin in a nice location. There’s lots to do around the area and my family and I had a great time. The property is very clean and nicely decorated. The beds are comfortable, there are 2 rooms with a bed each. My daughters didn’t want to share the beds so we brought an inflatable mattress and everyone was comfortable.

Spring 2025

Our stay at Lazy Bear was brief, but it served the purpose we needed just fine. We were fishing in the area and needed a cabin for one night. The property manager sent us everything in advance, so checking in was very easy. The cabin seemed to be well stocked with all the essentials.

Spring Visit to Great Smoky Mountains

This was a nice enough place to stay for our visit to the Great Smoky Mountains. It was very clean and comfortable. Could use a few more lamps as it’s very dark in the living room and bedroom. The resort was not open for the season yet so unable to use any of their amenities. Easy access to Bryson City and Cherokee for meals.

Great place to stay

Cabin was very nice. The place was very clean with comfortable beds, and all we needed to prepare meals. Easy place to find, and fairly close to activities in Bryson City and Cherokee. Unfortunately, a lot of the things nearby close this time of year but we found plenty of trails for hiking both at the resort and in the Smokey Mountains. Would definitely stay here again, maybe a different season to take advantage of the rafting, etc.

Lazy Bear

The cabin was very nice and clean. The location was great as well. We booked for 5 adults and 2 children. Everything met our expectations. The only slight issue was the lack of towels for the amount of people for the duration of our stay.
