About this property

Cozy Cabin with Hot Tub; 5 miles to Harrahs Casino

New hot tub and grill in 2024. New King bed in 2025. The Lazy Log Cabin is a beautiful, cozy, wooded retreat in the gated community of Mountain View estates in Whittier, NC. Sit back and relax in the hot tub surrounded by the serenity of nature, or go explore with only a short drive to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, downtown Bryson City, Cherokee and Harrahs' Casino and the Blue Ridge Parkway. The Cabin includes 3 Smart TVs, equipped with Netflix and Hulu, and additional streaming services that you can log into for your convenience.

The space
Exterior
The road is paved all the way to the cabin, with easy and abundant parking for any vehicle. A small set of steps take you up to the covered porch leading to the entry. The porch is a great place to enjoy the outdoors and fresh mountain air from the rocking chairs or porch swing. To the left of the steps, a gazebo houses a large relaxing hot tub and a privacy shade. A gas grill also sits under the gazebo, waiting for you to show off your culinary skills rain or shine. Take a seat in a chair around the fire pit located in the side yard behind the gazebo and enjoy the sounds of a crackling fire while your marshmallows roast over the hot flames.

Entry level
The living room has comfortable soft leather sofas surrounding a stone gas fireplace. The open layout serves as a great opportunity to enjoy the surrounding trees and natural light. A Smart TV equipped with Netflix, Hulu, and additional streaming services that you can log into for your convenience sits on the mantle for entertaining indoors. Woodland and wildlife touches are featured throughout the cabin.

The kitchen has black granite countertops, stainless appliances, and beautiful cabinetry, making time spent preparing meals pleasant in this fully equipped space. Enjoy coffee or tea in the morning with the Keurig or drip coffee maker. Pots/pans, baking sheets, knives, cutting board, corkscrew/bottle opener, silverware and various other cooking utensils are provided, as well as plates, bowls, glasses, mugs, wine and champagne glasses. There is seating for 4 at the dining table.

Down a short hall, you will pass a full bath with a tub on your way to the first bedroom. There is a washer and dryer located in the bathroom closet for your convenience. The first bedroom offers a queen-size bed, as well as a set of bunk beds. It contains a Smart TV and large closet, making a great room for the kids or a few friends. Next door is the master suite with a private adjoining full bath with a tub. The master suite has a relaxing king-size bed facing a set of large but private windows, as well as its own gas fireplace. This room has a romantic ambiance and you may find yourself sneaking off just to enjoy time here alone together. A Smart TV sits above the mantle and plenty of storage is available in the closet behind the sliding mirrored doors.

The Experience
The Lazy Log Cabin is a great cabin for a family vacation, a romantic getaway or a trip with friends! Furnished with all the amenities of a home, you will find everything you need at The Lazy Log Cabin for ultimate relaxation and an unforgettable vacation experience!

Access Road
The smooth road makes the location Motorcycle and Mini Cooper Friendly. While no mountain road is truly flat or level its whole length, there are no sharp switchbacks and nothing more than a moderate incline.

Guest access
Guests are welcome to access all areas of the cabin.

Snow Day

Great time enjoying the snow! Neighborhood plows so roads cleared up quickly (enough for 4 wheel drive at least). Comfortable house with warm fireplaces and the hot tub was a hit. Bunk room was perfect for our young kids.

Wonderful weekend

My wife and I spent 5 days here. Very clean!. Off the beaten path but still pretty easy to get to. Paved road all the way. Everything functioned as it should. Fair warning, there is no cell service at the cabin. You will need to use internet calling. We especially enjoyed the hot tub and fireplace in the bedroom. Great cabin, great location, great weekend, great owners!

Overall nice cabin.

Had an amazing time with just a couple issues. First the hot tub had WAY too much chlorine, to the point we both ended up with chlorine rashes. Second was the grill ran out of propane while cooking second night. Gated community was extremely nice and we would stay again.

Great Little Cabin

This is a great little cabin, and we enjoyed our stay over the Christmas break. We especially enjoyed the master bedroom and hot tub. The beds and couches were comfortable, the hot tub was well maintained, and the grill was a nice bonus!We spend a week in a cabin in the mountains every year, so we're probably a little more picky than most, but there are a few things that kept it from being a five star cabin for us. Things weren't as stocked as we would have hoped. The day we arrived we went ahead and bought hand soap, paper towels, and toilet paper, because it was clearly not stocked for our week stay. Also, I feel like the number and quality of towels needs improvement. Our family of 5 struggled to have enough towels for showers and the hot tub. A crock pot/slow cooker of some kind would be nice as well.All of the beds were a bit wobbly as well. The bunk beds were a bit unstable as the kids climbed on the top bunk and the queen bed rattled against the wall a bit, but the biggest issue is that the master bed is pressed against the light switch and makes a loud squeak if anyone moves on the bed. It was a challenge to maintain discretion at times. I ended up wedging a washcloth between the bed post and the wall on both the master bed and the queen bed, and now I'm wondering if I removed those before we left. Hmm...I feel like all of these are very small issues that could be easily resolved. In any event, they didn't prevent us from having a wonderful vacation!
