We had stayed here several years ago.We enjoy the close location to the river.And the nice rear porches. The driveway was a little steep, but it did not bother us.Great place to get away.

Thank you so much for returning to stay at Lazy Dog Log Cabin and for sharing your experience! We're glad to hear you enjoyed the peaceful location near the river and relaxing on the rear porches—those are some of our favorite features, too. We appreciate your note about the driveway and are happy it wasn’t a concern during your visit. It means a lot to us that you chose to come back, and we hope to welcome you again for another great getaway soon!
We loved everything about this place. The house was in a beautiful neighborhood and the Mountain View’s were beautiful! I would definitely stay here again!
Beautiful view from the deck. Cabin was great and well appointed. Perfect area for what we wanted to do. Having a fenced area for the dog was so convenient. Would definitely stay here again.
Very nice property! We did not have dogs with us, but it looks like a nice place for dogs since they have the dog run outside.
very pleasant stay and close to some cool things like the state park and the New River kayak and tubing outfitters.
Everything was very nice and clean. But it was so far out from everything. And the master bedroom didn't have a TV☹️ but over all it was very nice and comfortable!💖 I definitely want to go back in the spring or fall!!!

Thank you for the review! Lucky Dog is just 15 minutes from Downtown West Jefferson. Out of the traffic of town, but close enough to run errands or site see! We look forward to hosting you again.
Definitely loved our home away from home to get our Christmas tree at Frostys in Jefferson. Only complaint was not enough Kleenex’s on each floor and definitely not enough lights outside. Thank you for sharing your home with us. Coming back to this one.
Seems to be issues with the up and downstairs thermostat. Comfortable upstairs and freezing downstairs. Nice place other than that. Talk to the stay blue ridge folks they seemed not to want send anybody out to look at.

Liked: Cleanliness, location
The cabin's location was very scenic and it had a very nice view of the mountains. We really enjoyed Ashe County. There were nearby restaurants and grocery stores. Driving to Boone was very easy. The cabin was spacious. However, we were quite disappointed in the condition of the property and would not stay there again. We repeatedly lost our TV reception. The chairs on the upper deck were very uncomfortable. The sofa on the lower deck was falling apart. The refrigerator water dispenser didn't work. The kitchen sink leaked. There was a continuous problem of lights flickering. And no cleaning products were available other than a small bottle of dish detergent that was partially full which ran out. We had to go out and buy several different products as we were staying for almost 2 weeks. The enclosed area for the dogs was quite steep and uneven which made it difficult to clean up after the dogs.

Reviewer Comments:
We had a wonderful time at the Lazy Dog Inn! The house was easy to find and easy to get to. It was spotless and and beautifully decorated with comfortable seating and beds. The layout was perfect for our family of 7. The porch overlooks the river and sitting out there is most relaxing. The neighborhood is beautiful with nice streets for walking (especially if you like the challenge of some hills!) and great views! River access is just 5 minutes away and only takes a few minutes to get to the nearest grocery store. We brought 2 dogs and they loved it too! The fenced-in back yard is a very nice convenience. We all definitely want to come back and stay here again!

Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your visit to Lazy Dog Log Cabin. We are very happy that you found the cabin to be perfect and that you and your dogs enjoyed your visit. We are looking forward to having you return very soon! Thank you for choosing Lazy Dog Log Cabin and Stay Blue Ridge!
This was the perfect getaway. We were looking for peace & quiet, and privacy. I was a little concerned to hear it was in a neighborhood & not isolated, but I didn't need to be. It's a very quiet, gated community and the other cabins are not on top of you. Very quiet! The only noise we heard was the occasional sounds of people enjoying the river below during the day.
The cabin was clean and spacious. There was an issue with the TV not working, but management had it replaced a day later.
The accommodation for dogs was unbelievable! The fenced in yard was something I never thought I'd see in a cabin and was SO appreciated when taking the dogs out during the night! The separate kennel room was a great "safe space" to keep them when we needed to leave them unattended.
The views off the back porch are wonderful, from the hot tub they're even better!
Loved it and highly recommend it!
We’re amazing got here.
The house is super cozy, and the manager so friendly. We have a good time.
Just make sure you have all the equipment in case of a snowstorm.
We gathered for a family weekend to have some time together before my daughter left for graduate school abroad. The house was very comfortable for our group of 7 adults, and great for traveling with a dog.
