A Dog Family’s Paradise

This is a beautiful home & location inside & out! It offered plenty of indoor & outdoor space, bedrooms, beds, & bathrooms for our family of 7 plus our 2 dogs. The owner’s communication was perfect. The owners provided everything we needed, plus extras like coffee/tea/hot chocolate ( though it was too hot for us to use this week;), toiletries, a dog tie out, doggie bags, doggie bag trash can outside & a large dog park on location. The front covered porch & porch swing, as well as the back private hot tub location were also wonderful! The home & property are as described. We highly recommend this home & will definitely return if we travel to this area again!

Family had a wonderful time!

Doc and Carrie couldn't have been more accommodating. The Lazy Cat Lodge was perfect. Comfortable beds. The home was cozy and clean. They provide anything you could possibly need. The Toy Barn was wonderful fun! My children loved it and played for hours. Plenty of space to relax, have a fire and let the kids play!

Excellent hospitality

The hosts provided us with everything we needed to have a fun, care-free visit. They thought of everything! We even had age-appropriate toys for our granddaughter and electric cars that were available for her to ride at will. I can't think of anything they could have done better. We will definitely be back.

The Lazy Cat Lodge was a perfect home for our family. Check-in was as easy as possible and the home was clean and well maintained. Our kids enjoyed the basketball court and the large outdoor areas to play. To top it off, the owner (Doc) was very accommodating when we had to make some schedule changes. Doc couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. All-in-all, a great experience!

Doc’s Cozy Cat lodge was a delightful, refreshing break from a long drive. They really thought of everything a visitor might need. He was very prompt in messaging. Our grandsons thoroughly loved the toy barn and we all relaxed in the hot tub. Would definitely stay here again!

A great New Year’s Eve!

Review for Lazy Cat LodgeWe had an absolutely amazing stay at the Lazy Cat Lodge for New Year’s Eve! The property was perfect for our group, offering so many thoughtful touches and fun activities for everyone. The kids especially loved the toy barn, spending hours riding the ride-on toys and enjoying the space. It was such a joy to see them so entertained and happy!The hot tub was a highlight for the adults—relaxing and perfect for unwinding after the festivities. The entire lodge was clean, comfortable, and beautifully maintained, making it feel like a true home away from home.Communication with the host was incredible from start to finish. Every question we had was answered quickly and with such kindness, making the experience stress-free and enjoyable. The level of care and attention to detail truly stood out.We can’t recommend the Lazy Cat Lodge enough and are already looking forward to coming back! Thank you for making our New Year’s celebration so special.

About the host

Hosted by Doc Kvitko

Host profile image
My wife and I love hosting because we like helping families make memories.

Why they chose this property

We have a 10 acre swath of country living, right between two suburban neighborhoods and yet, we are within 5 minutes of almost every store or restaurant you can imagine!

What makes this property unique

Because we have a large asphalt finished area, we offer a myriad of fun activities for our guests. We have a number of little electric ride-em cars for kids plus "drifters" for adults and kids. Depending on the weather, we oftentimes let guests drive our golf cart on our property but that is with permission, We offer folks an experience, rather than just a place to sleep! For groups that need more than one bedroom, it costs less to stay with us than at a hotel plus, you can eat in (saving on the cost of eating out), have a fire and make S'mores, or have a cook out and sit out on your patio if you wish.
