Lazy Bear Lodge-Breathtaking Views! Pet Friendly
Welcome to the Lazy Bear Lodge! This cozy cottage is centrally located in the heart of beautiful Maggie Valley, with some of the most breathtaking views in the area. You will be delighted you chose it for your Great Smoky Mountain’s escape.
With easy paved access, cable TV, high speed WiFi, wood burning fireplace, fire pit, and an expansive covered porch with plenty of seating to soak in the views, this stylish cottage has everything you will need for a relaxing retreat any time of the year!
The Lazy Bear Lodge is a warm and inviting cottage filled with heartwarming decor and cozy furniture that will make you feel right at home the moment you step through the door. It is convenient to many attractions the area has to offer, and is just minutes to the Blue Ridge Parkway entrance, Tube World, and the Cataloochee Ski Resort. Soco Falls, Cherokee, and the Harrah`s Casino are a short drive away, and the Biltmore Estate in Asheville is less than an hour.
As you pull into the driveway, you`ll find parking for 3 vehicles, and a view of the mountains that will leave you awestruck. Travel up a small flight of stairs to the covered front porch, pull up a rocking chair, and soak in the mountain air and some of the best views in the Maggie Valley.
Once inside, you`ll be delighted to find a heartwarming space filled with little details to make you feel right at home. The living room boasts a beautiful, floor to ceiling wood burning fireplace, so you can cozy up and relax on those cool mountain evenings. A large screen tv with cable and plenty of comfortable seating completes this space, inviting you to relax and enjoy a movie or sporting event in front of the fire.
The living room opens into a dining area with a table that seats four people and is perfect for a relaxing meal or playing a game of cards. Large sliding glass doors fill the room with natural light and give access to the back deck. Here you`ll find a small outdoor dining area, gas grill and access to the fire pit. Pull up a chair and enjoy the view as you roast marshmallows over the open flame.
Just off the dining area, you`ll find a stunning kitchen, recently remodeled and lovingly decorated, this space is filled with everything you`ll need for cooking and dining. There is also a washer dryer in this area for our guests to use during their stay.
Off the dining room you’ll find the entry to the first master bedroom with its luxurious king size bed, cozy linens, walk in closet, tv, and attached full bath.
Travel back to the living room and you`ll find a split floor plan with a bedroom on either side. The master offers a king size bed, private desk for those who may need to work remotely, tv, and an attached full bath with a tub and shower. There is also access to the porch from this room as well. This relaxing retreat is the perfect place to unwind after a day of hiking, skiing, or exploring all the mountains have to offer.
Across the living room you`ll find another delightful bedroom filled with warm wood, mountain views, and direct access to the covered front porch. This bedroom also boasts a tv, private desk, and attached full bath.
We happily offer discounts to veterans, active military, and first responders. Please message us for details.
The Lazy Bear Lodge is hosted by Loriel and Adam of Keaton Cottages Vacations, and Loriel is a licensed real estate agent.
Our guests have access to the entire home and property during their stay.
The Lazy Bear Lodge is located about a half a mile off Soco road with paved access and a paved driveway. The driveway is paved and easy to access, and there is parking for 3-4 cars and room to turn around.
We are available to our guests by phone, text, or messaging any time.
Located in the heart of Maggie Valley with easy year round access, the Lazy Bear Lodge is a great home base for your Great Smoky Mountain adventure. The cottage is set in a quiet neighborhood, that is frequently visited by the local elk population and other wildlife, and has some of the best views the area has to offer. It is convenient to the Blue Ridge Parkway, Soco Falls, Tube World, Cataloochee Ski Resort, Cherokee and Waynesville.
Guests need a car to best enjoy Maggie Valley and all the area attractions that the Great Smoky Mountains have to offer.
While there are no stairs inside the house, guests must climb a small flight of stairs up onto the porch to enter the cottage.
The owners keep a vehicle at the property year round, so the carport is not available for guest use.
This property cannot accommodate recreational vehicles or trailers.
Cell phone service can be limited in the area but we do have strong WiFi at the property.
We recommend using WAZE for your travels in the mountains, as GPS can be unreliable.
