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 - Bryson City: 30 minutes - Nantahala Outdoor Center: 45 minutes - Tsali mountain bike trails: 40 minutes

Tricia's cabin is extremely rustic (in a good way) and charming, and the view one wakes up to every day is gorgeous and deeply relaxing. The property is nicely protected from neighbors, and the sense of peace and serenity there is truly wonderful. The full kitchen and washer/dryer makes it possible to happily hunker down there, but its proximity to the charming mountain town of Sylva and great hiking mean one doesn't have to go far for food and other diversions. We very much enjoyed our stay. Trisha was a great host, and thoughtfully provided coffee and other treats to welcome us.
Lazy Bear was even better than we remembered from a few years ago. Everything was amazing. Trisha knows how to make you feel welcome. Do yourself a favor, stay at Lazy Bear. You won't be sorry!!

Our stay was absolutely amazing! Trisha was super responsive before, during and after check-in. The cabin is gorgeous and the views are spectacular. We hiked and enjoyed the quaint towns of Sylva and Dillsboro. We would definitely loved to come and stay again!
Outstanding vistas! Authentic log cabin with just the right amount of modern conveniences. Well stocked and property is as described. Ridiculously quiet! We will definitely be back, maybe this fall. Highly recommend!!!

Thank you for the 5 Star Review! We love having you as guests and look forward to your return!
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.

Thank you for the 5 Star Review! We work hard on making sure the kitchen is well stocked and we think our cleaner does a fantastic job! Glad you were able to enjoy the fire pit and hot tub area! We hope you will stay with us again!
The pictures only give you a sample of this wonderful cabin secluded on the hillside. All the amenities you would need and close enough to enjoy local activities or just stay at the cabin and enjoy the quietness.
