Lazy Bear Lodge — The Sandifer’s House on Lake Bruin


Welcome to our favorite escape and home away from home! Located on the deep water side of beautiful Lake Bruin, our lake house will not disappoint.

Enjoy a cup of coffee as you watch the sun rise over the lake, or grill on the porch and watch it set across the pecan orchard. Park your fishing boat in the slip, or just enjoy the paddle boards and other dock toys. Or, if you are looking for a beautiful location for remote work, the house is fully equipped with WiFi.

The kitchen is open and well-appointed, with a new fridge, range, dishwasher, and huge farmhouse sink. The bar seats six, and the large table in the same room seats 8. We have recently poured a slab and added a pickleball court out front!
When it's time for bed, the house has a large master with a king bed and an en suite bathroom, featuring both a soaker tub and separate shower. The second bedroom has a queen bed, and the third bedroom has two bunks and a twin (plus an inflatable matress for an extra friend). Our children's favorite place to sleep, though, is the sun porch, which is enclosed with a window unit AC. It has 2 twin beds and a trundle.

We hope you enjoy your relaxing time at the lake as much as we do!

Much needed Lake Weekend

Perfect property to enjoy time on the lake! All the amenities needed and then some! The kid’s favorite was paddle boarding, and sleeping arrangements were perfect for everyone especially the big kids! Property was super clean and kids never got bored. We will definitely will book again!

Weekend stay

We went for a long weekend and were very pleased. Very clean and comfortable with great amenities. I grew up on this lake and due to the family camp being damaged during the freeze we needed somewhere to stay. Worked out perfectly

Another wonderful trip!

This is my family’s second time staying at this lake house and we can’t wait to come back. I can’t say enough good things about it. Beautiful property and lake, very clean home, well furnished, and excellent host. Large enough to gather together but also space to have a quiet moment to relax. From fishing and boating to grilling and relaxing, there is something for everyone. This is a great property to slow down and spend quality family time. We have stayed at many lake rentals and this property is at the top of our list of favorites.

Beautiful outdoor getaway

Absolutely beautiful and relaxing environment. All of us enjoyed our short stay. There were a few maintenance and cleaning issues that needed attention. Dirty toaster oven, drawers old lining, dirty garbage receptacle in the master bedroom and kitchen. Clogged bathtub drain. The next day we declogged the drain filled with hair. Dish towels stained but presumed clean. Dishwashing soap dispenser emptied. No additional supply under the sink. No sponge to hand wash the large items except small brush.

Everything was just as shown in photos and description. The home was spacious and just right for our family. We loved the screened in porch with air conditioning for the grandkids to have their own space. The owner was extremely helpful in communicating and making sure we were comfortable. The house was very clean and the the lake is beautiful.

The property was exactly as described and consistent with reviews

The house is in a very good location with a nice dock on the lake. The entire house is very nice but the kitchen is definitely one of the nicest of all of the VRBO properties we have stayed in. The beds were comfortable and everything in the house worked like it should.

My family and I really enjoyed ourselves. The lake house and grounds were well kept and the kids loved the fishing and swimming off the pier. A bigger plus was being pet friendly. Bring mosquito spray. Would highly recommend staying there the check in and out was a breeze.
