About this property

Top of the world views! Log Cabin, hot tub, fireplace, 18 min to downtown.

If we don't have the travel dates you're hoping for, or you're looking for a getaway with more space, please check out our other cabin (completed Feb 2018). If you've stayed at Lazy Bear Cabin in the past and had a good time, we are pretty darn confident you'll love our newest build, named Jack's Retreat. Take a look! Only a 13 minute drive from Lazy Bear; VRBO/Home Away listing #: 972360.

Our 5 acres of land provide the perfect peaceful retreat in the mountains.

Long distance views from both the main deck and private hot tub deck will ensure a relaxing, back-to-nature stay. You can forget the cell phones and computers for a true break from the real world if desired...but full cell signal with all known carriers and WiFi allow for reality checks as needed.

The driveway is steep and narrow, but all paved except for the flatter parking area, where a 2-to-4-point turn will turn your vehicle around again. For those not comfortable on mountain roads, please take note of the steepness, as it can seem intimidating. But to almost all of our guests, it's just a part of our mountain cabin experience - adding to the adventure! We have 42 steps from the driveway to the front door; for those with mobility difficulties, the steps are not suitable.

With all modern amenities, one won't need to leave the cabin, but the surrounding area has so much to offer to the adventurous at heart. Conveniently located less than 20 minutes from downtown Asheville, 12 mintues from the Blue Ridge Parkway, 20 minutes from the Biltmore Estate and Black Mountain, 30 minutes from Chimney Rock/Lake Lure and Hendersonville, this quiet getaway is still close to all the attractions and activities.

Cabin with amazing views!
My wife and I stayed Sunday to Sunday, the cabin was amazing, very clean and peaceful. The cabin was very stocked with extra supplies such as paper towels and toiletries. We enjoyed the hot tub and the views almost everyday. Speaking of the views they were amazing and awesome. We just sat and watched the clouds move through the mountains for hours. The hosts had tons of suggestions for local diners we went to and area attractions and they were very responsive when contacted. My wife and I have stayed in several cabin rentals from Ohio to North Carolina and this by far is our favorite. The stairs are no joke being a flat lander but navigated them without issue. In closing, we were greeted with a welcome card and local honey and soap thanking us for choosing them and I am sure glad that we did. Amazing week because of an amazing cabin on an awesome piece of property. Thank you for having us.

Great Property
We loved Lazy Bear. It was secluded from other properties and had an absolutely breathtaking view. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Why they chose this property

We absolutely love the Asheville area - the mountains, endless outdoor activities and 4 distinct seasons allow us to appreciate and fully enjoy nature year-round. When we met as teenagers, we dreamed of one day building our own mountain escape (with a fabulous view, of course).

We were involved with every aspect of the building process; from the beginning stages of staking out the property lines and house site in the snow to personally delivering almost every nail, bolt and load of lumber. Our hearts and souls were poured into this cabin while attempting to balance our full-time jobs, lives and every detail of the project...but every minute was worth it, without a doubt.

What makes this property unique

With the cabin facing South, year-round natural light invites guests to gather in the living area and relax on the decks.

As is the case in much of Asheville, the roads around our cabin tend to be steeper than what many people are used to. Our driveway is steep and narrow in sections (about 300 yards from the bottom to top). Access is not a problem, however, and we both own small 2wd vehicles that do just fine around Asheville and our cabin. We also have stairs leading from the driveway to the cabin door, which, for those with mobility issues, may pose a problem.

The cabin is located within a private community, in which Rules and Regulations apply to residents and visitors. This makes for a truly quiet and relaxing stay in the mountains. Please note that noise, privacy, parking and other rules must be respected throughout the private community.
