Lazy Bear is the perfect getaway for travelers that want to experience the peaceful seclusion only the Great Smoky Mountains can offer. The cabin is nestled on the side of a mountain with woods on three sides that provide a sense of total privacy. This location is a short drive from all the popular area attractions our region has to offer, you'll be away from it all while still close to everything! Enjoy the shopping and dining of downtown Bryson City, the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad, or the Deep Creek entrance into the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, all located about 30 minutes from the cabin. Or enjoy boating and fishing on Fontana Lake or the exhilarating thrill of white water rafting on the Nantahala River located about 20 minutes from the cabin. You can enjoy the Harrah's Casino in Cherokee or experience the magic of the Oconaluftee River hiking trails & tubing, go sightsee at the popular Mingo & Soco waterfalls, or play a round at the Sequoyah National Golf Course, all located about 40 minutes away.
Exterior:
From the parking area a set of stairs lead up to the back of the cabin and the main entrance. The large open back deck is an extremely private spot to relax. Here you will find a wonderful covered hot tub shielded from any potential weather interruptions, along with the gas grill and dinette table for 6 is a great spot to enjoy diner in the fresh mountain air. Two covered decks on the front of the cabin are accessed from within. The upper deck is on the entry level. From this deck the view is the star attraction. Just take some time to sit in one of the rocking chairs and watch how the shadows change the shape of the mountains as the sun races across the horizon. Taking time to watch nature like this can truly calm a restless mind and who doesn't need that?
