The view was great, and you can tell the owners use the property. Management company, Vacasa, let the property down. Cleaning crew was still there hours after check and we let them leave knowing the kitchen wasn’t clean, but there was no soap for the 1/2 bath or in the shower. They were aware the property had been struck by lightning but they didn’t check anything and we had no TV/wifi or hot tub for the entire week. All the lights in the garage/rec room were bad and the kids had to pull some bulbs from their bedrooms. Grill ran out of propane and the extra tank there was empty. The first mouse sighting had a kids running out of the bathroom. On Tuesday they said the hot tub should be serviced today or tomorrow, just needed a sensor. On Friday they said the part would be two weeks. We should have demanded a refund at check in and just got to a hotel and been able to enjoy the week. I will actively try to avoid Vacasa properties, but if the owner switches management companies we’d go back. ##### Nick H.

Jul 26, 2024 #### Lovely mountain home with incredible view We stayed at this mountain top home for a week with our 5 teenagers! Not only is this home spacious and offers plenty of "downtime activities" for the kids, the views were what really made our stay. Many hours were spent by all just rocking and swinging on the porch. Yes, there are bugs...it's the mountains and is to be expected. Yes, the WiFi is slow...again it's the mountains. But our teens managed just fine! This mountainside retreat is located central to everything and just an hours drive to many incredible adventures. Our kids are already asking if we can come back again next summer. Thank you for the incredible week away! ##### Heather B. ### 6/10 Okay #### Cassandra J. Jan 6, 2025 Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Amazing Views but Needs Maintenance My family and I spent the holidays enjoying the scenery, festive decorations, and spaciousness of the property. However upon arrival we spent almost two hours cleaning the kitchen and bathroom. Both seemed not have had a thorough clean for quite a while. The fridge was disgusting with food remnants, sticky residue and hair. The shower head in the bathroom was so dirty that we had to go and buy cleaning products to remove caked on grime and filth before using it. Some of the pots, cutlery, and plates were also visibly dirty. The kitchen countertops were sticky and sides peeling off. ##### Cassandra J. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Blade D. May 31, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Setup (Not-so-perfect upkeep) Perfect layout for our family for vacation. Nice amenities like hot tub and shuffle board. Upkeep is lacking, though. Ping pong table is in pretty terrible shape with not a single decent paddle for use. The hot tub had quite a bit of grime in it. The microwave was extremely dysfunctional which made it difficult for our family of 9. We had already purchased groceries planning several meals for the microwave to learn on arrival the microwave had to be unplugged to reset it after every use. Tolerable, just annoying. Reported to owner, who apologized, but no remedy offered. No outside lights (that we could find) on the driveway side of the house. So it made going out to the car at night time a no-go. Lastly, if you don’t like steep mountain roads, it’s not the place for you. We travel a great bit and these were by far the steepest roads we’ve ever traversed. All in all, we would stay again. Just wish the owners would step up the upkeep as it is almost a five star stay. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/61461613-c894-4cfa-bf41-b6ed2f4376a5-1748726533655.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Blade D.

If you’re looking for an amazing view and a spacious house for your family! This is definitely the place , we absolutely enjoyed our stay , the house was very clean, lots of space and plenty of rooms , sitting in the hot tub while looking at that view was my favorite part of the house! Tons of games for adults and the kids , plenty of kitchen equipment so just bring some food! The only thing is that I HIGHLY recommend to have a 4x4 , truck or suv , the road and drive way is not for the faint of heart , my little Kia soul almost didn’t make it up the drive way and I think I had a Mini heart attack lol but other then that it was very cozy and I would recommend it to anyone ! ##### Samie B.

Mar 23, 2024 #### Mountain getaway We were up there for my birthday weekend and this place is centrally located close to a lot of small downtown shopping. The house itself offered several things to do but the only downside is at the place needed a lot of TLC and cleaning. The hot tub was great and they were lots of games to play with the exception of them were missing game pieces like the pool table was missing the 15 ball. The views from the deck are amazing the garage, where the pool table and other games are had a lot of leaves and sand and was very dirty, even spiderwebs with spider eggs hanging on the lamps , I don’t wanna be misleading because we thoroughly enjoyed our vacation here/birthday weekend. This place just needs a better cleaning service as well as someone who would be attentive to the maintenance of the home, missing lightbulbs and fixtures, and other things that homes need to be maintained. ##### john k. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anna H., Clearwater, FL Jul 22, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Family Vacation We had a great visit with our family to Lazy Bear Lookout. The views from the front porch were stunning and is where we spent most of our time. The cabin was large and had plenty of space for our family of six. Our two young boys especially liked the game room and hot tub; and we even had a bear visit while we watched from inside the garage! There were a few things about the cabin we would change; it needs a little TLC with some minor repairs needed. We were also disappointed to not find a regular coffee pot available; there is a Keurig but we are a big coffee family and did not have K-cups. The kitchen was otherwise well stocked and we prepared a couple of meals in it. The drive up the mountain was a bit more intense than we realized, and even in summer four wheel drive would have been helpful as the last stretch up to the cabin is just gravel. All in all, we had a lovely visit and would stay again. ##### Anna H. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Jason B. Oct 24, 2023 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Communication #### Decent mountain getaway Overall the cabin was a lovely getaway. Great memories were made! However, few items need updated on their listing. It says it has a firepit and to bring your own firewood (which we did). However there is no firepit on site. There is a outdoor gas fire feature, but it's not your typical "sit and roast marshmellow" type deal which was very disappointing. The cabin did not have a coffee pot which was a major issue for us. There was also a very odd/foul smell on the downstairs level. When you ask questions to the guest service number, the company responds quickly initially and goes hunting for the answer. Their answer usually didn't help at all and you realize it's just not worth continuing. For example I asked about how to use the cabin heating system (which is a type I had not seen before) and the response was the microwave should be working. Cabin was also pretty dusty in areas. Overall though, great escape, beautiful view, and lots of games for the family and kids to enjoy. Just needs a minor touch up! ##### Jason B.
