Lazy Bear Cabin
The cabin was a perfect quick getaway and the woodfire stove was awesome. The property is tucked away and quiet which is exactly what we were looking. The kitchen space is small but has everything you'd need just like the bathroom. The pull out couch was surprisingly comfortable and I didn't need to use our camping cot that we had brought just in case. We plan on coming back out here maybe in the summer since the proximity to Truckee and the north side of the lake is great. Jeff was very responsive on the phone and ready to help with whatever was needed. Thumbs up to the Lazy Bear Cabin

Lazy Bear Cabin
Quiet and Cozy Mountain Retreat
Jeff’s cabin and land are definitely a treat! Nestled in the woods, the cabin has a lot of privacy, and there is plenty of space to explore around! I loved being able to have a full kitchen, bath, and fireplace, all with gorgeous views. We felt super relaxed coming back! Also, Jeff made sure things were comfortable and safe for us during our stay. When coming to Jeff’s cabin, remember to pack in and out, and leave no trace to maintain its beauty! Lastly, definitely pack warm with lots linens and blankets for the winter months. Thanks for a wonderful stay, and making my birthday one for the books ❄️

Unforgettable Escape in the woods!
Our recent stay at the cabin was truly magical. Nestled deep in the woods, it offered the perfect blend of tranquility and comfort. The cabin itself was beautifully appointed, with cozy fireplace, well-equipped kitchen. We especially enjoyed stargazing and relaxing on the porch. The peace and quiet were unparalleled, and we felt completely rejuvenated by our time away. Highly recommend this idyllic getaway for anyone seeking a truly memorable experience.

Lazy Bear Cabin
Cozy Cabin Away from It All
It's a perfect snowy hideaway about 45 minutes south of Truckee, about 10 miles off 80. Our dog LOVED playing in the snow and taking a couple of long walks down the paved, plowed private road that leads to the cabin. The woodburning stove works great, and Jeff left us a generous amount of firewood to use free of charge, which was a major bonus. Don't forget to bring your comforter and pillows to make a cozy nest! -The Guyers
