FAQ’s:

HOW DO I REACH THE CABIN? WILL I NEED A FOUR WHEEL DRIVE?
You will not need a 4-wheel drive unless snow or ice is present. Once inside the neighborhood, you will encounter a single-lane, 1/3-mile gravel road. While it is not considered steep for this area, it may feel uneasy to those who have not driven on gravel mountain roads, particularly if arriving after dark.

WILL I SEE WILDLIFE?
Possibly - we are located at the edge of a wilderness area so it is possible you will see a snake, field mouse, or bear. Most common sighting is the NC Rat Snake which is harmless and protected by law. Occasionally, a guest reports a bear or deer sighting.

IS THERE A GROCERY STORE NEARBY?
- Food Lion: 10 minutes
- Walmart SuperCenter: 15 minutes
- Ingles: 20 minutes

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET TO…?
- Downtown Sylva: 10 minutes
- Blue Ridge Parkway: 20 minutes
- Smoky Mountain NP: 40 minutes
- Cherokee: 30 minutes
- Asheville: 50 minutes
- Dillsboro: 15 minutes

The cabin exceeded our expectations. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cabin was clean, well maintained and accurately described. We have some familiarity with Western NC, but not with Sylva. We were pleasantly surprised with the downtown area and were able to have several great meals and some good beers. The hosts are easy to work with and their attention to detail sets them apart from your average VRBO hosts.

The Perfect Getaway

If you are looking for a peaceful log cabin property with amazing long range views, your search is over. This property delivers all of that...and so much more. The cabin itself was very clean and the owners have thought of every detail...down to the snack bags with everything you need for a quick day hike and the blankets to take outside on chilly nights. Plenty of coffee and hot chocolate, more than enough wood for campfires, the hot tub was clean and ready for use within minutes, and the views from every part of the property are amazing. We probably spent more time on the back patio than anywhere else. The long range view, privacy, and peacefulness were exactly what we were looking for. We brought our dog along and she enjoyed it as much as we did. Having Pinnacle Park at the end of the driveway is a fantastic bonus! So many beautiful waterfalls all within an easy 0.5 mile hike. Plus longer hikes for the more experienced hikers. The town of Sylva is within 10 minutes and has a great downtown area, plus it is a great central location for Gatlinberg, Cherokee, Asheville, and Nantahala. We loved every moment spent at this property and the surrounding area. We will definitely be back!

Charming Cabin Retreat

My partner and I stayed at the Lazy Bear Cabin and it was even better than the listing photos. Very clean, immaculate, and secluded. The view was stunning as was the cabin and the grounds. Everything worked as it should and the hosts were amazing. Never any issue getting in contact with them and they were extremely helpful and kind. I cannot say enough positive things about our stay and we will definitely return in the future! I am saving this to our getaway list!

Absolutely Perfect

This beautiful cabin has the perfect mix of modern vibe with original rustic mountain feel. We booked 3 nights for a relaxing weekend to unwind for my birthday, little did I know it turned into a surprise engagement trip. Everything about this place was amazing. From the view to the provided necessities, to the hospitality. Trisha and her husband are wonderful hosts and checked in with us to make sure everything was to our liking. We will absolutely be back. I miss that sweet little cabin already.

Best View in the NC Smokies

The pictures just don’t do it justice. The view is literally the best view I’ve had in my many stays in the area. It’s private, it’s quiet, it’s easy to access. The cabin is so well appointed and thought-out. Trisha even had a flashlight hanging right by the entry - she just thought of everything. The coffee bar is adorable, the fireplace was such a treat on these cool fall evenings. We had a barred owl and great horned owl as visitors our first morning and then a black bear the second morning. It was such a fulfilling experience. The fire pit was perfect and had firewood available. The hot tub was extremely clean and a welcomed amenity to relax in after hiking. The property and cabin was so clean and well cared for. Trisha really hit it out of the park with this place. I usually stay in a new cabin every time I come to the area four times a year, but I can confidently say that I don’t need to go anywhere else in the future. Trisha was very responsive and helpful. Some renters mentioned the upstairs bedroom getting hot with the fireplace running. While that is true, you know, since heat rises thanks to the laws of thermodynamics, we found that if we turned the fireplace off about 15 minutes before we headed to bed that it was back to being the same temp as the rest of the houses All in all you can’t go wrong with this property. What a gem!

Cozy Stay in the Cabin

Our stay at Lazy Bear was great! The cabin was very clean and we were welcomed with the most thoughtful arrival gifts including local treats and snacks, extra supplies and even a treat bag for our dog. The view is beautiful and we enjoyed sitting on the porch watching the sunset reflect off the mountains. The weather was nice and the area has many hikes and waterfalls to enjoy. I highly recommend driving the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Great rustic cabin, easy to get to with an amazing view. It was well stocked with kitchen Utensils, and firewood. Rustic yet modernized with great wifi, and streaming TV shows. The layout allowed us various options from relaxing in the living room ,porch or at the firepit or in the jacuzzi. Sylva is minures away with great resturaunts and , parks. Overall an exceptional place to stay!! Thanks to Trisha for being a great host!!

My favorite cabin in the mountains!

Very cozy and beautifully decorated. Gorgeous view of the mountains. Spotless. Well-stocked kitchen (appliances) altho an air fryer would be nice. And maybe more rugs. My one complaint is the uncomfortable mattress on the downstairs bed, and the pillows, as I prefer down and usually bring my own, but I forgot this time. We didn't use the firepit or the hottub, so I can't speak to that. Would definitely return.
