"From booking to checking out our whole experience at the cabin was perfect! The owner's communication was quick and they answered every question I had. Check-in was easy and the location was just what we wanted. We were literally on the road that you drive on to enter Dollywood and the roads were easy to navigate. The cabin itself was spotless. It had everything we could need. The beds were comfortable. My son loved the bunk bed and the arcade game. The talking massage chair was a hit! The hot tub was relaxing, and the deck was peaceful, especially at the end of a busy day. We only wish we had more time there to enjoy it!! We didn’t even have a chance to try out the resort pool, but it looked fun. Thank you so much for the wonderful service and I hope to be back someday soon!! Don’t think twice about booking here - you won’t be disappointed." -Debbi C

Thank you, Ashley for such a wonderful review! Very much appreciated and I’m glad you loved the Cabin. We are looking forward to having you back again one day, but thank you for taking such good care.
We absolutely loved our stay in the Lazy Bear Den. The hosts were very accommodating and went above and beyond to ensure we had a fabulous stay. The cabin is so peaceful. The massage chair, hot tub, and pool table made the kids never want to leave the cabin. We loved the location and it's proximity to all the awesome things the Smokey mountains have to offer.

Thank you for such a wonderful review of Lazy Bear Den!! It helps greatly for others to read this and know they can put their trust in us and their vacation home!!
My husband and I brought our dogs and had a wonderful long weekend stay here at the cabin! The hosts were super friendly, responsive, and helpful! The cabin itself was very nice, clean, and had all we could have wanted and more! The rocking chairs were a lovely way to end each evening, and the living room and beds were super comfortable! We found it a huge bonus being at the end of a cul de sac! It was perfect for taking a little walk with the pups. Beautiful cabin, comfortable stay, and wonderful experience! Overall, we had a lovely stay and would love to return again sometime! Thank you very much!!
