About this property

Top of the world views! Log Cabin, hot tub, fireplace, 18 min to downtown.

If we don't have the travel dates you're hoping for, or you're looking for a getaway with more space, please check out our other cabin (completed Feb 2018). If you've stayed at Lazy Bear Cabin in the past and had a good time, we are pretty darn confident you'll love our newest build, named Jack's Retreat. Take a look! Only a 13 minute drive from Lazy Bear; VRBO/Home Away listing #: 972360.

Our 5 acres of land provide the perfect peaceful retreat in the mountains.

Long distance views from both the main deck and private hot tub deck will ensure a relaxing, back-to-nature stay. You can forget the cell phones and computers for a true break from the real world if desired...but full cell signal with all known carriers and WiFi allow for reality checks as needed.

The driveway is steep and narrow, but all paved except for the flatter parking area, where a 2-to-4-point turn will turn your vehicle around again. For those not comfortable on mountain roads, please take note of the steepness, as it can seem intimidating. But to almost all of our guests, it's just a part of our mountain cabin experience - adding to the adventure! We have 42 steps from the driveway to the front door; for those with mobility difficulties, the steps are not suitable.

With all modern amenities, one won't need to leave the cabin, but the surrounding area has so much to offer to the adventurous at heart. Conveniently located less than 20 minutes from downtown Asheville, 12 mintues from the Blue Ridge Parkway, 20 minutes from the Biltmore Estate and Black Mountain, 30 minutes from Chimney Rock/Lake Lure and Hendersonville, this quiet getaway is still close to all the attractions and activities.

Amazing!
This place was perfect! It was exactly what we were looking for and as described. A secluded getaway with beautiful views but close to the city and a short drive from some incredible experiences—mountains, waterfalls, hiking trails, breweries, shopping. The cabin was very clean and I can’t think of a single thing we could have needed that wasn’t provided. The host communicated very well. We had no questions because she provided all the info before we had to ask.

Simply amazing!!!
My girlfriend and I booked this location as the listing captured our attention from the start. We had never taken a trip like this before, and we did not know exactly what to expect. From the time we arrived we were simply blown away! The location, the beautiful property and the amazing views alone made this trip worth every moment of our time. In fact, we wish we could have stayed longer. The owners of the property we’re awesome and went the extra mile to ensure that we had everything we needed. I highly recommend this vacation spot to anyone as you will not be disappointed.

Top notch accommodations
I stayed here with my husband and sons for my husband’s birthday. We frequent the area and know how special it is. This well-appointed home was exactly what we needed, with beautiful views, a hot tub, and easy access to hikes and the Asheville area. The owners were very accessible and helpful when we had questions.

Perfect Anniversary Getaway in a Stunning Mountain Cabin!
My partner and I recently celebrated our anniversary at this enchanting mountain cabin near Asheville, NC, and it was absolutely perfect! From the moment we arrived, we were in awe of the cabin's beauty and its serene, secluded location. Nestled amidst the trees, the cabin offered breathtaking views and a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The interior of the cabin was cozy, clean, and thoughtfully decorated, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. We especially loved the spacious deck where we enjoyed our morning coffee while soaking in the peaceful surroundings. The location was ideal – secluded enough to provide privacy and tranquility, yet just a short drive to Asheville and its vibrant entertainment options. We had a blast exploring the local breweries, restaurants, and shops in the city. The nearby hikes and trails were a highlight of our stay. We spent our days exploring the stunning Blue Ridge Mountains, with each trail offering its own unique beauty. From challenging hikes to gentle walks, there was something for everyone, and the views were simply spectacular. Our host was incredibly caring and responsive, ensuring that our stay was comfortable and memorable. They provided excellent recommendations for local activities and were always available to answer any questions. Our stay at this mountain cabin was everything we hoped for and more. It was the perfect backdrop for a fantastic and memorable anniversary. We can't wait to come back!

The best of a private mountain retreat that’s still close to everything!
A perfect cabin with spectacular views! But close to Asheville, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and 10 minutes to groceries, pharmacy, restaurants, etc. it’s perfection! This is the cleanest place I’ve ever stayed…including the amazing hot tub! We saw two bears on property in the early morning during our stay, but the cabin is way up high and safe (just be sure you are good navigating stairs). Our host was gracious, responsive, informative and kind. I can’t wait to go back again!

Smokey Mountain Get Away
My husband and I had a wonderful stay at this cabin. It was by far the cleanest VRBO I have ever been at. Everything was perfect, the views were amazing, seeing the animals was so fun (of course mamma bear and her cups (saw them 3 times!), deer, woodpeckers, heard owls. We highly recommend this place, the driveway is no joke though, we rented a truck and it was hard to get it turned around...had to do the back and forth. You can get your exercise in just going up and down the driveway! Thanks for a great time!!

Cabin with amazing views!
My wife and I stayed Sunday to Sunday, the cabin was amazing, very clean and peaceful. The cabin was very stocked with extra supplies such as paper towels and toiletries. We enjoyed the hot tub and the views almost everyday. Speaking of the views they were amazing and awesome. We just sat and watched the clouds move through the mountains for hours. The hosts had tons of suggestions for local diners we went to and area attractions and they were very responsive when contacted. My wife and I have stayed in several cabin rentals from Ohio to North Carolina and this by far is our favorite. The stairs are no joke being a flat lander but navigated them without issue. In closing, we were greeted with a welcome card and local honey and soap thanking us for choosing them and I am sure glad that we did. Amazing week because of an amazing cabin on an awesome piece of property. Thank you for having us.

Amazing cabin!
This cabin is absolutely gorgeous! It is very well kept and it is extremely well stocked with all the supplies in the kitchen, paper, products, and linen/towels that anyone could need for a weeklong stay. This also was the absolute cleanest rental we have ever had (and we have had many in various locations in the US). The location and views from the cabin are spectacular. Yes, the driveway is very steep and there are many stairs to enter the cabin, but we knew all of this from the well-detailed description of the rental that we read prior to booking. Lisa, the owner, was an absolute pleasure and so easy to communicate with. She made our check-in/checkout process extremely easy. We cannot wait to rent this cabin again, or the other cabin that is available from the same owners, in the very near future. We also have recommended this rental to many of our friends who are interested in visiting the area!

Great house, beautiful views
My husband and I stayed for a long weekend to celebrate our anniversary. Easy trip into town of Fairview and to downtown Asheville. It was cold but we could still enjoy the incredible mountain views (just be aware that steps up to the house are super steep)! Super clean and very well appointed. Hope to make a return trip someday.

Beautiful mountain cabin
Very comfortable cabin for 4 people. Beautiful kitchen is well stocked and we loved grilling out/ cooking and enjoying dinner on the porch. AMAZING views and fantastic sunrises. The driveway was no joke, but we overall had no issue. Only challenge we had was trying to get ridesharing from the house, but the drive into town was only about 20 min. Overall, the house was amazing and we really enjoyed our time. Would recommend it to anyone in the future!

About the host

Hosted by Lisa Gurney

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

We absolutely love the Asheville area - the mountains, endless outdoor activities and 4 distinct seasons allow us to appreciate and fully enjoy nature year-round. When we met as teenagers, we dreamed of one day building our own mountain escape (with a fabulous view, of course).

We were involved with every aspect of the building process; from the beginning stages of staking out the property lines and house site in the snow to personally delivering almost every nail, bolt and load of lumber. Our hearts and souls were poured into this cabin while attempting to balance our full-time jobs, lives and every detail of the project...but every minute was worth it, without a doubt.

What makes this property unique

With the cabin facing South, year-round natural light invites guests to gather in the living area and relax on the decks.

As is the case in much of Asheville, the roads around our cabin tend to be steeper than what many people are used to. Our driveway is steep and narrow in sections (about 300 yards from the bottom to top). Access is not a problem, however, and we both own small 2wd vehicles that do just fine around Asheville and our cabin. We also have stairs leading from the driveway to the cabin door, which, for those with mobility issues, may pose a problem.

The cabin is located within a private community, in which Rules and Regulations apply to residents and visitors. This makes for a truly quiet and relaxing stay in the mountains. Please note that noise, privacy, parking and other rules must be respected throughout the private community.
