Overview
5 Bedroom / 4 Bathroom Sleeps 16
Lazy Bear Lodge, a newly built luxury lakefront cabin is nestled in the NC Mountains (at over 3000 foot of elevation) & embedded within the primitive Nantahala National Forest on the cleanest, most pristine lake east of the Rockies, Lake Nantahala. Over 4000 sq. ft. of living space, plus two levels of covered decks allows for making memories on a perfect family vacation, reunion, or even a retreat. Sleep peacefully in one of 4 bedrooms (4 bath), a 6 person bunk room or in the loft with beds for 16 of your favorite people (requires special arrangements for more than 16).! Awaken to wilderness sounds, talk a morning stroll onto the private 26 X 20 dock or retreat to the screened porch. Be embraced by the enveloping Smokey Mountains as you wind down your evening by the fire pit, have dinner in the screened in porch or family time in the media room. A bar, shuffle board, & 60 inch movie screen awaits you! Two washer dryers are available for large groups and a double oven to accommodate large events. An actual front yard (rare in these parts) allows for outdoor games or children's play. A picnic table can be enjoyed on the covered deck and the incline to the lake is unusually non-strenuous for this area. The Are there hikers in your crew? The Appalachian Trail is a mile hike from our front door and that is only the beginning of what you may experience in the surrounding area
Lake Nantahala is conveniently located a 2.5 hour drive from Atlanta, & 2 hours from Chattanooga, Asheville, and Knoxville. Knoxville Airport is closest, however the drive is windy unless you drive through Chattanooga.
Hiking, biking, great fishing in lake or rivers, boating, whitewater rafting, tubing, antique shopping, snow skiing or water skiing are only some of the activities to enjoy...the possibilities are endless .....We are 40 minutes away from the new Casino in Murphy, NC.

Great Cabin experience with a great view!
Pro:
The property was well maintained and the pictures matched the description....couldn't have chose a better place for vacation! The hospitality was great by the owners and returned calls promptly with questions regarding their property.
Con:
Cannot think of any at this time!
Absolutely beautiful!
Beautifully maintained property! Fully stocked with everything you could need to enjoy a family vacation. Just stock up on food, drinks, and recommended items before you arrive because there are not many close shopping options. Would love to return to this properly again someday❤
The property is beautiful.the house is well situated and planned out.
We really enjoyed staying at the cabin. We were large group so we were spaced out very well. The kitchen was large accomodate us all at one time.The lake in the mountains is absolutely stunning. Im sure this cabin and location is even more stunning in the summer months. The fireplace kept us cozy and openness about the layout did not make us feel closed in. I would recommend this cabin to anyone looking to get away and relax and play and fish as well. Wonderful experience and memories.
Beautiful Home..Wonderful Stay
We were immediately amazed at the beautiful views that this home offered and the attention to every detail of the home. Our family of nine had an awesome time. We had fun on the shuffle board table and enjoyed the Marina for dinner for one night. We even venture to a water fall that we had to get to by boat. The location is great. Some of the group went white water rafting just 30 minutes away. We had some trouble operating the TV's and the owner stayed with us on the phone for as long as it took the first night. Thank you so much. I'm sure we will be back.
A dreamy lake house offers a dream vacation
First impression upon entering this spacious and gorgeous home is simply, WOW! The lake itself is lovely with very few homes, most of which are tucked discreetly among the forests surrounding the area. The overall feeling of Lazy Bear Lodge is one of quiet seclusion, relaxation, and gorgeous vistas. The home is very inviting, large, and the owners have put little touches everywhere that exude an ambience that is more akin to being a guest in a friend's home rather than a vacation rental. Our family was "blown away" by the home and its many decks, porches, play yard, fire pit, and the dock. The closet space throughout the home is enviable! Our group consisted of 14 folks and everyone had a comfortable bedroom. All the children loved the "slumber party" feel of the bunk room on the downstairs floor. I hope we get to return someday and I would readily recommend this home to any vacation traveler to the area!
It's Absolutely Remarkable !!!
We can't thank Mr. & Mrs. Russell enough. They are really nice people and easy to work with. Words can't describe how truly beautiful the cabin is. It was so relaxing and had any and everything that we needed. We are truly grateful to have had an opportunity to stay there , making new memories with family, fun and laughter and hope to visit again in the near future!
