Quick Getaway

I stayed here with my partner, two daughters, and our dogs. The space was open and well-laid out, extremely clean, well-stocked, and very serene. The property was secluded but you didn’t have to go too far to get to necessities and it’s well placed for outdoor activities.

Great property. The road in was a little bumpy, but no big deal with a truck. It really lives up to its street name! As described, and very peaceful. Had everything we could possibly need, and then some. We truly enjoyed this beautiful property.

A gem! Wonderful long weekend getaway and excellent hosts.

The house was just right and the hosts could not have been more friendly, communicative and accommodating. Perfect blend for a non-stress getaway. Bonus is the waterfall within a short walk to compliment our Falls Creek excursion nearby.

Short Getaway Waterfall Adventure

We had a lovely visit at the Lazy Bear Cabin. The cabin was the perfect size for our family and was very clean and well stocked. We enjoyed finding our way to the waterfall in the yard (phew - it was a steep trail!) and also playing games from what they had in the cabinet - many of our family favorites were there! We never even once turned the tv on. We were able to visit 3 of the state parks with the amazing waterfalls, and the cabin was pretty central to all - pretty much a 30 minute drive in any direction. There are more parks we didn't make it to, so hopefully in the future we will be able to venture back and stay at the Lazy Bear again.

Comfortable cabin

Our stay was comfortable and enjoyable with all the conveniences of home in a well-appointed log cabin nestled in a very quiet mountain forest. We enjoyed hiking down to the little waterfall nearby; playing cornhole, and being so close to Fall Creek Falls. Lazy Bear had plenty of room for all of us! We definitely plan to come back.

We stayed here for our weeding weekend! I believe this house is honestly better than the listing! Very clean very beautiful indoors and out! I actually got ready here for our wedding so if you see a little glitter somewhere just know it’s from me! And that’s after I cleaned it multiple times…

Quiet, cozy getaway

We had such a lovely stay at the Lazy Bear cabin- it was absolutely spotless - seems brand new- and the owners thought of everything we’d need. Kitchen is huge and very well stocked, couches and fireplace cozy for movie night with the whole family. It’s about a 20 minute drive to Fall Creek Falls but the cabin location is picturesque on its own with a pretty waterfall a short walk down a hill behind the cabin. Tania was responsive and a perfect host. Thank you so much for a restful few days!

Just what we wanted!

Our family loves to hike, and this was the perfect setting for the four of us. We didn’t even have to leave the property in order to visit a neat waterfall on site! We also found nearby nature trails to many other stunning waterfalls. The cabin was attractive and comfortable, furnished with everything we needed. Tania was an outstanding hostess! She gave detailed instructions and information ahead of time, and checked in with us to make sure there were no issues. We hope to return and continue our outdoor explorations another time!

Chasing Waterfalls

The lazy bear exceeded our expectations. It was such a beautiful property situated away from big city noise but close enough to parks and restaurants to keep us busy during our weekend stay. Tania was the most communicative host I have ever encountered. She was wonderful! Thanks for sharing your home and beautiful property with us. PS For anyone navigating to Lazy Bear, our GPS (both iPhone and Android) told us we had arrived before turning down Peaceful Ln. If that happens, keep going straight and Peaceful Ln. will be on your right.

Peaceful but needs repair

It was a beautiful cabin in a beautiful secluded area. It was nice and clean. We had a plugged bathroom sink and the owner was there the next day to fix it. Our only issue was they are having trouble with their septic and we were not able to flush any toilet paper. Kind of gross, we were supposed to put all toilet paper in the trash. My mother has a medical condition that really made this unpleasant for her. Other than that, I would stay there again if they resolved that issue.

The rooms were clean. Other items such as ceiling fan and beams were covered in dust and the floors were swept poorly. There needs to be access to more wash cloths as well as blankets for outside use. Our fall stay had chilly mornings and nights and with no cushions for the patio furniture it made the sitting colder. It would of been nice to know to bring blankets for outside use as well as ice since the refrigerator ice machine did not work. Overall the place was beautiful and relaxing.
