Lazy bear cabin

Nice house. We enjoyed our stay. A few broken things: The grill ignite button was broken on our arrival. The hot tub was shoring error code FL1 on our arrival. The hot tub pad lock strap was broken on our arrival. We called within the first hour of arrival to report the hot tub issue requesting someone come out and fix it- no one did.

Nice weekend getaway

My friend and I visited for the weekend and had a really nice time! The place was clean and had plenty of space. Can’t wait to go back with a big group. A couple things were not ideal, but not major. We couldn’t get the fireplace to work upstairs. We ultimately ended up using the base board heat and it was fine. I picked up the coffee pot carafe and the handle broke off. The fire pit was great, but it’d be nice if they had a fire poker or something to help the manage the fire. The plumbing in the bathroom upstairs needs attention. We had to plunge the toilet every.single.use. It was a little frustrating.

Cozy Winter Gathering

My family gathered to celebrate my daughter’s 30th birthday. We went snow tubing, and had a great time! The Lazy Bear cabin’s decor gave a welcoming, comfortable atmosphere. The gas fireplace and great room are a cozy space where we relaxed and enjoyed the warmth, comfortable furniture and thoughtfully prepared atmosphere. Everything was clean and ready for us when we arrived. The hot tub was a great indulgence during a cold winter weekend. I had a question, and the Vacasa management answered in 20 minutes. Head’s up to the “no winter maintenance/ 4-wheel drive,” as one vehicle in our group had some trouble leaving due to snow squalls, and the property’s walkways were not cleared of snow and ice as stated in the property description. With the proper vehicles and footwear, property access was no problem.

Disappointed

I’m very disappointed with this cabin. It was very dirty! The dishwasher had dirty dishes in it. Living room had dog hair all over the rug! Thought this was no pets allowed? Dropped phone behind couch and found loads of dust and dirt. The first bedroom by the down stairs bedroom was okay until something you looked under the bunk beds and there were crumbs and loads of dust. The second bedroom had crumbs in the bed and dog hair! The upstairs bed off to the right had a legit brown stain! It looked like someone spilled coffee or soda on it! The upstairs bathroom had dead bugs and black hairs in the shower! The amount of spider webs in this house was ridiculous. The family room was covered in dog hair! We completely felt gross when we left. The hot tub cover was broken and the cover to the filter was missing. Other than that, it was very spacious and had plenty of sleeping space. Very close to the lake.

Amazing cabin, wonderful location

The cabin was wonderful!! The location is great with a private beach access in the community. Couple of hiccups the fridge was lagging the whole time with very little food inside it, at one point the freezer leaked and there was a large puddle of water in front of it. The family room was UNBEARABLY HOT! There is 2 large fans n this room but it’s not enough to cool it down and 2/4 of the windows in this room don’t have screens, this is also the TV room and it is just too hot to spend anytime in there at all, it needs to have a portable AC unit or window unit installed.

Weekend with family

We had a good time and the house had plenty of space. I felt that it could have been a little cleaner (ceiling fans / silver ware / drawers/ bathroom exhaust fan). The large coffee pot didn't work and over-flowed and needs replaced. Light bulbs out all over the house which was frustrating. Nice house though, and we enjoyed our time.

Lazy Bear Lodge Stay

We loved the peacefulness of the area. The home was very accommodating. Have no complaints other than the screened in porch that was lovely and needs a deep cleaning. Also, some new cookware would be nice and added cooking utensils are needed. It really is a nice place to stay and I would do it again.

Enjoyable stay

Overall we enjoyed our stay. We would have liked a little more light in the 2 sitting areas. We did spend a lot of time out on the screened pouch. We had no trouble finding the place or getting in. Everything was setup nicely when we got there.

Lazy Bear Cabin

I totally enjoyed my stay!! It was fantastic!! The cabin was amazing!! The employees were wonderful!!! So willing and kind to come show us how to get the fireplace going!! So, if I have to say something to improve on, this is it:. I think they should window coverings ( drapes, blinds) for the upstair's rooms. People an see right into the 2nd story rooms, especial with the lights on in the evening. I will stay/book again this Cabin!! I totally give this place, vbro and employees the highest marks?
