Lazy Bear

"Airbnb Review #769538884153260813 #182085"

The house had goggle nest and a smart thermostat, probably not the best for an older couple not technologically savvy. Plus internet was in and out. We didn’t mind not being able to watch tv because we couldn’t figure it out, but waking up to 66 degrees when it was low 30’s outside was cold.

Great cabin! It was so nice, cozy, and thoughtfully decorated. The huge porch space was amazing. Hot tub and fire pit area were both lovely additions. Kitchen was well stocked. We had a perfect family weekend getaway, didn’t leave one time!

This cabin was perfect for our family celebration. It's a little challenging to get to, but worth the trip. The view was spectacular, and the hot tub did not disappoint! Cabin was clean and quaint, though there were a couple of minor maintenance issues that should be addressed. Still, we had an awesome time enjoying the overall serenity of the location. It's a great place to get away! I would stay there again.

This cabin has everything! Beautiful view, spacious balconies, new appliances, great smart speakers for setting the vibe with music, games, comfortable rooms and bathrooms, a large hot tub with its own impressive view, and a perfect fire pit area. 10/10 would recommend. The only drawback was that the door code is electronic but you still have to drive to another property 20 mins away to receive the code. I’m sure there’s a reason for it but that drive is inconvenient.

Great place to stay! We stayed here for a kid free friends trip with 2 other couples and it was very spacious and the location is perfect. The Red River Gorge area is beautiful! Finding Little Bear can be tricky, but they did give us directions at check in as phone service can be spotty. Nancy was very responsive to emails as well. We would definitely stay here again.

This place was amazing! The house is secluded with a great view, parking was no problem. The house was spacious and the air hockey/ping pong/pool table was a big hit with the teens. The beds were very comfortable and the wifi worked which was awesome. We extended our stay an extra day we loved the house so much. We will def be back!

LOCATION:
The location was at the back of the resort and was tucked away in the forest. The road there is a very windy one-lane road with a lot of fairly steep drops and climbs. It was intimidating at first, but we had no problems with any of our 2-wheel drive vehicles. You would probably need a four-wheel drive vehicle in the winter snow.
You will check-in at a different location and then drive to the cabin. The cabin is about 10-15 minutes away.

THE CABIN:
The cabin is relatively new and was rather luxurious. There are four bedrooms: a queen room in the basement, a queen on the main floor, two twin bunks on the main floor and a really nice queen area with couches, desk and full bath in an upstairs open loft.
There are three full baths, and those on the main floor bedrooms would share one. I think they all had showers, no tubs.
We had really hot weather and all the rooms were very comfortable.
The main floor is open with a kitchen and great room. There was plenty of seating room and a table for at least 8.
The large sweeping deck was the highlight of the cabin and was where we spent most of our time. There is a really nice hot tub and a built-in high-end Napoleon grill on the deck. Plenty of seating and table area was available.
There’s a really nice firepit off to the side of the cabin and a lower deck that is accessible to the basement bedroom and game room.
The game room includes a bar and a combination pool table, air hockey/ping pong table as well. The lighting was lacking down there and we would highly recommend a pool table light, as it was too dark to play at night.
Some of the G oogle home controls took a bit of time to figure out, but were very convenient.
There is adequate parking for at least 4 vehicles, possible enough for 6. (Many cabins had limited parking)

AMENITIES:
The kitchen was fully equipped, including a pot coffee maker (bring cone, not basket filters), crock pot, decent pots/pans and pretty much anything else you would need.
Appliances were relatively new and were in great shape.
The hot tub was large, clean and operated really well. We didn’t plan on using it, but it really helped out those sore muscles from hiking the mountains.
They did provide towels for 3 couples although some reviews stated they didn’t.
Beds were comfortable, but not very plush.
WIFI was very good and needed as some in our party had no cell reception.

MISC:
PLEASE NOTE: There are many locations in the area with no cellular coverage – we had trouble communicating with our friends on the way there.
We were happily surprised that there were literally no biting insects on the deck and most of the trails we took. I don’t think anyone got bit up and we were on the rear deck late into the night.

OVERALL EXPERIENCE:
We had a great time and the cabin exceeded our expectations. We take a couple of cabin trips a year and this was one of, if not the nicest ones we’ve stayed at.
The place was very clean, and my wife is a stickler about that.

MAINTENANCE SUGGESTIONS TO MANAGEMENT TEAM:
We could not get the deck ceiling fans to operate.
Improve the lighting in the basement game room, particularly over the pool table.

Great cabin with lots of amenities! We loved the view and all the stuff there was to do hanging out at the cabin and around red river gorge

"Airbnb Review #660891155539458261 #160700"

just be aware that the road to the cabin is narrow with winding and step climbs.

"Airbnb Review #650734120308547569 #158519"

Cabin is in great shape. Very clean all over. It was extremely hot while there, and the AC did great! Awesome morning views as the sun comes over the mountain.

"Airbnb Review #590525112618995536 #147559"

Bring your own towels for bathing and hot tub.

"Airbnb Review #576752880386865670 #145143"

The cabin was everything the listing described. The view of the gorge was very pretty, the cabin was isolated enough from the neighbors to feel rustic.

"Airbnb Review #546383817488970443 #141008"

Everything was very neat and clean, description was accurate, the view was amazing with all the snow. It is at the back of the property so it was a bit tricky to find the cabin but that’s not a bad thing. Beware YOU WILL NOT HAVE SERVICE ONCE YOU ARE ON THE MOUNTAIN. 5 stars for sure! Don’t hesitate to book.

"Airbnb Review #520939667051797750 #137075"

We had a great stay at Lazy Bear! The cabin is beautiful, updated, and has a great view. Perfect for a large family stay. Our only disappointment was with the cleanliness (floors….our feet were FILTHY from walking around, pots/pans, counter tops, bathtub).

"Airbnb Review #505038486538849913 #135197"

Really nice clean getaway, for the family. We took a boat tour of caves day after thanksgiving. Was a fun activity for everyone. That’s open all year around.

"Airbnb Review #496326985592031455 #133794"

This cabin was perfect for our group of 7 people! Very clean, plenty of space to hang out, beautiful views, and quiet. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. The hot tub, game room, and outdoor fireplace were very nice to have for the weekend. Short drive to hiking trails and to natural bridge. Would highly recommend this cabin.

"Airbnb Review #494869959556642366 #133582"

Great stay! Has an absolute blast, very secluded and super nice place! Having the google home was a nice touch and will be coming back for sure !

"Airbnb Review #489793980228829800 #133076"

This cabin provides a taste of modern while deep in the gorge. It’s well-made and beautifully located. There was plenty of room for our team to both relax and work. The Google home element added a unique experience. We would stay here again!

"Airbnb Review #469517130537569284 #130668"

Excellent spot for a big group. Loved having a private hot tub and grill. Easy check in.

"Airbnb Review #454973217681805945 #127611"

This place was an awesome find! Easily can host large groups and the views from the balcony were absolutely stunning! Would recommend to anyone looking for a great cabin in Red River Gorge area.

"Airbnb Review #419533233853675562 #121089"

Great cabin, very nice & clean. Beds were very comfortable & kitchen was stocked with everything needed. Would definitelystay here again

"Airbnb Review #389029899554246325 #114947"

We spent a weekend at Lazy Bear and we’re blown away. The cabin is beautiful, spacious, and has more than enough to keep you busy. We loved the views and amenities. Finding the cabin was a smidge difficult and the winding roads were very steep and scary at times for a one lane road.

"Airbnb Review #768934809 #113616"

Beautiful setting with a great house that offers plenty of space for a family!

"Airbnb Review #751887829 #106574"

The cabin was wonderful! Great amenities and beautiful view!

"Airbnb Review #742388800 #103378"

We enjoyed our stay at Lazy Bear cabin thanks to the hot tub, game room, amazing views, and great location to the Red River Gorge and Daniel Boone National Forest. Nancy was a good host too.

I rated this place 4 stars out of 5 for a couple of reasons. While the cabin itself is amazing, some basic amenities are lacking for the price you are paying. A cabin that holds 8 people and costs over $300 per night should provide all guests with TP, paper towels and bath towels. I've never stayed at an AirBnb that did not provide these basic items. Also, the beds were very uncomfortable and a couple of us discovered that sleeping on the couch was more comfortable. If not for these minor items I would rate this place 5 out of 5 stars!

"Airbnb Review #736460388 #100111"

This cabin is fabulous. Equipped with the modern comforts you’d expect at home, but being that it’s situated right atop the mountain, it feels like the perfect retreat. Fire pit is perfect, hot tub enjoyable, and the very hilly drive up there was a tad scary at first but we grew to really enjoy it throughout the week!

"Airbnb Review #735740947 #100065"

We took a socially distanced vacation with our three kids, and everyone had a great time. Plenty of room for everyone to have their own space as well as a common area that was good for game nights, movies, and karaoke! The game table downstairs got loads of use. Of course, the hot tub was the hit of the house and provides a comfortable spot to take in the view off the back porch. Everything was clean and well-communicated.
