Lazy Bear Lookout

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Escape the daily hustle and bustle to this gorgeous green countryside filled with million-dollar views all year round. This well-cared-for Watauga Vista cabin has end-of-the-road privacy and enough space for the whole family or group. It's only a couple-minute drive back to the highway, so civilization isn't far. Drive into town to find local eateries, arts, entertainment, and an array of family-friendly attractions. Take one of the many nature hikes through the wilderness or play on the lake to make your vacation next-level. Relax on the top deck or patio by rocking in the rocking chairs, swaying on the porch swings, lounging in the hot tub, or peeking out at the long-range view through the telescope to find unique wildlife.

Inside you'll find a bright interior with plenty of space for all! The living area invites you to have great conversations around the fireplace, take in a move on the large TV on the mantle, or play a round of air hockey. Gather at the formal dining table to make memories of eating home-cooked meals or playing a competitive board game. Hobby chefs will love preparing dishes in the spacious kitchen equipped with stainless steel appliances and all the cupboard room you'll ever need. With five beds, there's more than enough room for everyone to have a comfortable night's sleep. Have fun together in the game room, where you'll find a ping pong table, a pool table, more air hockey, and a TV. Dine alfresco on the deck by the fire table and tell ghost stories. Relax at the end of the day in one of the roomy showers.

I asked a million questions before our stay and always got an answer. The Christmas decorations in the house were perfect! The only thing I wish was different was when we first got there the house was really cold and took a long time to heat up. Other than that, it was great. We were a group of 10. 8 adults and 2 kids. We loved it!

Absolutely beautiful location. Can’t beat the views! The drive up is a little intimidating if you’re not used to mountain driving, but is otherwise great. We have a Toyota Sienna van and it made it up the hills just fine. The cabin is older, but we loved how cozy it was so it wasn’t an issue. Overall a wonderful spot to stay! 10/10

Although the cabin needs some attention like dusting and we did have some mouse droppings in one cabinet of master bedroom. The cabin provides an outstanding breathtaking mountain view along with alot of games to keep you entertained. The place overall was clean with lots of toiletries. The trash in the kitchen was already full when we arrived though. We loved the pool table, Table tennis and shuffleboard. The drive up the mountain was scary but the view was worth it. We gave my husband a wonderful 50th birthday suprise trip to the mountains. I do wish the cabin how air as even in the winter i love cold air and would of appreciated ac. Overall, loved the trip and would recommended

Beautiful views, nice home

The views here are absolutely amazing. Loved all the porches and the swings. Plenty of space for our family of 7. The wifi was slow but was enough for us to wind down in the evenings watching tv. Great location to many attractions. The downside - the microwave did not work. And the trash was never picked up
