Lazy Bear Cabin is located in an ideal location…at Lake buckhorn. It is 1/2 way in between Ellijay and Blue Ridge with amazing Mountain View’s from the beautiful back deck. 15 min to grocery store . We return to this area year after year! Lazy Bear also had 2 king sized beds with onsite bathrooms! Beautiful hot tub views!

Very clean cabin with mountain view. Road is very narrow. Manger told us it is one way but road is not posted as such and cars go both ways. Management was quick to respond with our concerns,

We had a lovely time at the Lazy Bear Inn! The cabin was clean and cozy, perfect for our weekend trip. Aside from the cabin itself being fantastic, the amenities at the cabin were the perfect addition as well! We enjoyed our time on the porch in the rocking chairs and the hot tub. I highly recommend staying here whether it be for a week or weekend, it’s the perfect place to relax and unwind.

The cabin was located approximately halfway between Ellijay and Blue Ridge. Parking accommodates two vehicles. The cabin was in a quiet area with very little traffic. The view was beautiful, and Stacy was an exceptional hostess! We would definitely stay here again!
