Cozy Bear Paradise on Weiss Lake in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains

One fall afternoon my husband and I sat on the ground looking at the reflection of the autumn leaves on the water and I knew we had found our little piece of paradise. Over the years children and grandchildren have experienced the joy of having a lakehouse. Swimming, tubing, roasting marshmallows, fishing and much much more. The area seems to have something for everyone - historical sites, rock climbing, waterfalls, crappie capitol of the world, shops to browse, Alabama Band fan club, artisan area, night sky for stargazing and the list goes on. Our three story home has room to spread out, a screened porch that makes you feel like being in a treehouse and a calm peaceful feeling. Whether you like to curl up and read a good book, stay on the go every minute or somewhere in between this place will suit your needs. We love our place but we don't get to use it as often as we did. So we decided to let others enjoy it while we are not there. While there are bears in the area it is unlikely that you will see one outside. Inside on the other hand is a different story.

There is a security camera on the corner of the house facing the driveway. The purpose of the camera is strictly for security.

Several people have asked if we have our own dock. Yes we do. It is the cover photo. If you rent from us, there are three docks and ours is the one in the middle.

Great time at Cozy Bear

We had a marvelous time. The house was top notch. It was far better than the description. The kitchen had everything you would need or want. The beds were very comfortable. We felt we were at home. We had to contact the owner a couple of times about minor things and they responded immediately. We will definitely be going back. This was one of our favorite places ever that we have vacationed at

Family Vacay 2025

We had an awesome stay for our family vacay. My husband, our two grown children, their spouses, and two grandchildren enjoyed the family time here. We spent most of our time on the pier, swimming, talking, kayaking, and just hanging out. The house had everything you need and then some. The neighborhood is quiet and calming. The only negative for us was the water was not deep enough to bring our boat to the pier. You will need a pontoon to get to the house if traveling by water. The nearest launch was just a couple minutes from the house.Al together, we had a blast and would love to go back again. The gift basket & kayaks came in handy with the grands. Thank you so much for the basket and the kayaks.

Relaxing

The house was exactly as described. Located on a quiet cove of the lake. We enjoyed our stay and spent most of it on the screened porch looking at the water. The view was understandably (season of the year) somewhat obstructed by tree leaves but still great. We would definitely stay there again.

Roomy house on lovely lake

The house and location was just what we needed. The 3 bedrooms meant we each had privacy, and our own air conditioner. loved the 3 bathrooms and screened-in porch . Love loved the dock, kayaks, floats, grill. pool table, games, TVs, stocked kitchen, air fryer, and comfortable seating. Very happy with this location on Weiss Lake.

Lake Life

We enjoyed our stay at the lake. It was a great place to celebrate my dads birthday. The kitchen was really well stocked (pots, pans, etc.), the house itself very comfortable and we really enjoyed the screened porch. We brought in our own pontoon boat so we could also make use of the dock and lake during our stay.
