Easy mountain getaway, minus the white-knuckle mountain drive! Lazy Daze is a cozy, dog-friendly cabin perfectly tucked between Bryson City and Cherokee. Enjoy a big yard, fire pit, covered porch, full kitchen and a fun loft for the kids, all with easy access to the Smokies, casino, waterfalls, hiking and more.

Description

Welcome to **Lazy Daze Cozy Cabin**, where your Smoky Mountain vacation can start without wondering if your car is actually supposed to climb THAT road.
r>This cozy 1-bedroom cabin is one of our easiest properties to access and sits just 5 miles from both **Bryson City and Cherokee**, making it a great home base for exploring Western North Carolina.

Inside, you'll find a queen bedroom, full bathroom, comfortable living room with an ambiance fireplace, Smart TVs, WiFi and a fully equipped kitchen. Upstairs, the loft has a queen mattress and makes a fun additional sleeping space, especially for kids.

Outside, slow down in the rocking chairs, enjoy the large yard or end the evening around the fire pit. Bring the dog, bring the marshmallows and settle into mountain time.

    The cabin was perfect. Had everything we needed. Plenty of space for our week away, just the hubby and me. The ONLY thing that wasn't ideal, for us, was the driveway down to the cabin. It is very narrow, gravel and steep. If you are pulling a trailer/bringing motorcycles you may want to consider that. But we made it work! Otherwise, we had no complaints and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The hosts and their property manager were great!

    The cabin and property was awsome. Really enjoyed sitting outside and hearing all the birds. Only negative I have and really hate to say anything, but there was a lot of black hair all over the bathroom, kinda had to wonder about cleanliness it was even on the curtains. But we would definitely use sgain if we came that way. Thanks again.

    The cabin was lovely and quiet inside.It is not tremendously private, most curtains had to stay closed.The fire pit was an absolute win. The Christmas decorations were very charming!Added a picture from visiting Cherokee and sitting beside the river shops enjoying coffee. The weather was kind and the view was always clear.When outside we felt like we were in the neighbor's yard, while he had a very heated discussion on the phone (on Christmas Eve, even). Later, he set off fire crackers. Very odd choices. Didn't affect our evening, fortunately and you couldn't hear them inside, which was surprising.It was a straight shot drive to Cherokee and the Blue Ridge Parkway, less than 15 minutes to meet my family who were staying at the Casino and easy to pop back to the cabin to change and grab things for different activities.

    The little cabin was all that we needed. Nothing fancy, but very cozy and comfortable. A short driving distance between Bryson City and Cherokee. Jimmy Macs is a great place to eat. Yummy food and not too expensive. We took several hikes to see the waterfalls - just beautiful. We would definitely stay there again.

    I had to visit the area for a conference at the cherokee casino. Hotel rooms don't offer me the ability to control my own climate or to use my playstation, so I decided to get this cabin. I didn't have any opportunity to go out hiking because I was busy. ButII'm glad that I stayed here. I certainly will consider coming back to enjoy sites in the area. The cabin was cozy and had everything I need. Great hosts.Communication . Check in and check out was eazy ..
