About this property

Relax & Enjoy the Year-Round Mountain Views in this Beautiful Blue Ridge Cabin

Lazy Bear Lodge is a short 10 to 15-minute drive from downtown Blue Ridge, Aska Adventure Area, and Lake Blue Ridge! Wineries and local breweries are also nearby! Or stay in and enjoy the beautiful 2000 sqft cabin and 1500 sqft of deck with year-round mountain views.

Our cabin is nestled in the mountains at the end of a long driveway. Four wheel drive is NOT needed! There is only a handful of cabins on our street and no close neighbors, giving you a private and romantic setting perched on two acres.

The Lazy Bear Lodge welcomes you into an inviting family room with vaulted ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace reaching two stories high. The open concept of the main floor includes a fully equipped kitchen, with everything you need to make meals. There are homages to bears throughout the cabin, along with nature-themed accents like acorn décor, rustic log railings, log beds, and lamps made of antlers.

Imagine the ways to spend your time here. We like to sink into the comfy reclining couch or loveseat and stare into the Blue Ridge Mountains, or flip on the LED Smart TV and watch a movie. But if you’re seeking some quiet time, the large loft overlooking the family room is a great place to curl up with a book. And our favorite part of this cabin is the 1500 sqft of covered deck! The rocking chairs are a great place to bear witness to the breathtaking mountain views. When lunch or dinner times arrive, fire up the Weber grill, connected to a 150-gallon propane tank.

When you’re done cooking, head down to the basement where there are plenty of games to play. Have a blast in the game room, playing air hockey, foosball, and board games. But the fun won’t end when the sun goes down. We like to get a fire going in the fire pit to make S’mores or take a late-night dip in the 4-person hot tub.

When you’re ready to hibernate, look no further than the three cozy bedrooms. The inviting master bedroom upstairs has a log style king bed with comfy mattress and a private balcony overlooking the valley, with mountain views. Before bed, grab a glass of wine and draw a hot bath in the jacuzzi tub, located in the master suite bathroom. On the main floor, the comfy queen bedroom suite opens out to the large wraparound deck. Step out from either bedroom to start your day watching an unforgettable sunrise. There’s also a bunkhouse downstairs with three twins, one full, and one trundle twin.

A Great Weekend Away!

We had a great long weekend up at Lazy Bear Lodge. Plenty for the littles ones to do, and cabin is big enough for me to have a quiet space to relax while the grandparents entertain the littles. The view is amazing! Thank you, Josh, for being incredible hosts!

We had an excellent time! The cabin was wonderful. We really enjoyed our stay and our dogs did too. The view was beautiful and we saw multiple deer. We had a great time playing air hockey and roasting marshmallows out by the fire.

Lazy Bear Lodge exactly as advertised!

Never before have we stayed at a property that was so true to its description as Lazy Bear Lodge. Wife, me and some family there 10/23/24-10/29/24 to celebrate her birthday and see fall leaves. The views from the wrap around porch were spectacular. Inside, the bedrooms were restful, the kitchen was well supplied and fabulous and our grands loved the game room! S’mores around the fire pit was a nightly ritual. Quiet and secluded but convenient to everything Blue Ridge has to offer. 4 TVs and great WiFi allowed us to keep up with the World Series. We’ll be back.

Memorable weekend with family.

In all, we had eight adults consisting of my Immediate family and extended family. The house was beautifully appointed and cozy at the same time. It had everything we needed and more. We spent a lot of time on the wraparound porch. Loved all the games in the basement. It was so nice to have three levels where everyone could have private space. Josh was so nice to deal with and quick to respond to questions. I would definitely recommend staying here. You won’t regret it.

Amazing stay !

The cabin is located in a great location close downtown, supermarket, river, trails, and NC! At the same time you feel secluded.. Josh is an excellent host who was super quick to response since the initial booking. The cabin is fully equipped with everything that you can think of .. and everything is of high quality. Mattresses are all comfortable and home super clean. Views are amazing.. During our 5 night stayed, we enjoyed kayaking, mountain biking, hiking, and sightseeing of few waterfalls. A huge hit was the game room ! We spent hours playing the different games with our son. I would definitely stay at this cabin again! We have stayed at few other cabins in Blue Ridge area and this is one of our favorites.

Beautiful, cozy, and immaculate cabin!

We had a wonderful weekend away at the Lazy Bear Lodge! Josh, the owner was very easy to communicate with and provided all information needed prior to our stay. The cabin was easy to access without 4-wheel drive, and it was a quick 15 minute drive to downtown Blue Ridge. The cabin is hands-down the cleanest cabin we have ever rented. It was very cozy with nice furniture and comfortable beds. The kitchen was immaculate and labeled with everything you could need. Our family enjoyed the game room downstairs, the hot tub and fire pit out back, and the beautiful wrap around porches. There are TVs in every room with lots of channels. For food, we highly recommend Carroll's Barbecue. For fun, our family of all ages really enjoyed playing at 2nd Story Entertainment. We hope the Lazy Bear Lodge is available for us to book when we return to Blue Ridge in the future!

So much fun!

The cabin is amazing! The views are beautiful, and the cabin is super cozy. The hosts have EVERYTHING you could need and more. We loved playing air hockey, Mrs. Pac-Man, and foosball. We made s’mores by the fire and played cornhole. We ventured out to the scenic railway and the Amicalola waterfall. We couldn’t have asked for a better time. We highly recommend this spot! We will be back for sure!!

Everything was clean, comfortable beds, kitchen was fully stocked, updated appliances, basement game room was awesome with full size air hockey and foosball. There were also several board games and puzzles. Outside, we enjoyed corn hole, fire pit, and hot tub. Highly recommend this cabin! Hope to come back in the summer!

Holiday Excursion

We met friends here for the weekend. We took our kids into Blue Ridge on Saturday to ride the polar express train. The location was perfect! The kids explored in the woods. We sat by the outdoor fire pit and visited. We had an issue with the downstairs heat, but Josh was super responsive to us. He bought us portable heaters and even gave us a small refund. The kitchen is really stocked which was awesome! We would definitely go back to the cabin!

About the host

Hosted by Josh B

Host profile image
We are Josh and Jessie and live in Florida. We are animal lovers and usually very busy at home. We love Blue Ridge and all the things to do. But sometimes, we just like to sit on the deck and enjoy the quietness of the mountains.

Why they chose this property

This location was perfect for us in our search for a mountain cabin! When we saw this cabin we knew it was the one! It's secluded but at the same time not far from downtown Blue Ridge or Murphy, NC. The cabin is cozy and makes us feel like we are at home. We have taken great pride in making this a comfy, clean, and welcoming cabin.
