Escape the daily hustle and bustle to this gorgeous green countryside filled with million-dollar views all year round. This well-cared-for Watauga Vista cabin has end-of-the-road privacy and enough space for the whole family or group. It's only a couple-minute drive back to the highway, so civilization isn't far. Drive into town to find local eateries, arts, entertainment, and an array of family-friendly attractions. Take one of the many nature hikes through the wilderness or play on the lake to make your vacation next-level. Relax on the top deck or patio by rocking in the rocking chairs, swaying on the porch swings, lounging in the hot tub, or peeking out at the long-range view through the telescope to find unique wildlife.

Inside you'll find a bright interior with plenty of space for all! The living area invites you to have great conversations around the fireplace, take in a move on the large TV on the mantle, or play a round of air hockey. Gather at the formal dining table to make memories of eating home-cooked meals or playing a competitive board game. Hobby chefs will love preparing dishes in the spacious kitchen equipped with stainless steel appliances and all the cupboard room you'll ever need. With five beds, there's more than enough room for everyone to have a comfortable night's sleep. Have fun together in the game room, where you'll find a ping pong table, a pool table, more air hockey, and a TV. Dine alfresco on the deck by the fire table and tell ghost stories. Relax at the end of the day in one of the roomy showers.

Decent mountain getaway
Overall the cabin was a lovely getaway. Great memories were made! However, few items need updated on their listing. It says it has a firepit and to bring your own firewood (which we did). However there is no firepit on site. There is a outdoor gas fire feature, but it's not your typical "sit and roast marshmellow" type deal which was very disappointing. The cabin did not have a coffee pot which was a major issue for us. There was also a very odd/foul smell on the downstairs level. When you ask questions to the guest service number, the company responds quickly initially and goes hunting for the answer. Their answer usually didn't help at all and you realize it's just not worth continuing. For example I asked about how to use the cabin heating system (which is a type I had not seen before) and the response was the microwave should be working. Cabin was also pretty dusty in areas. Overall though, great escape, beautiful view, and lots of games for the family and kids to enjoy. Just needs a minor touch up!

The Trip from the gate to the driveway is not for the faint of heart very narrow roads cut into the side of the mountain just barely wide enough for one vehicle. The description of the cabin was spot on beautiful views and a clean interior. Easy Check in and Check out. Was a Great place to kick back and relax for a few days away from everyone

Great Family Vacation
We had a great visit with our family to Lazy Bear Lookout. The views from the front porch were stunning and is where we spent most of our time. The cabin was large and had plenty of space for our family of six. Our two young boys especially liked the game room and hot tub; and we even had a bear visit while we watched from inside the garage! There were a few things about the cabin we would change; it needs a little TLC with some minor repairs needed. We were also disappointed to not find a regular coffee pot available; there is a Keurig but we are a big coffee family and did not have K-cups. The kitchen was otherwise well stocked and we prepared a couple of meals in it. The drive up the mountain was a bit more intense than we realized, and even in summer four wheel drive would have been helpful as the last stretch up to the cabin is just gravel. All in all, we had a lovely visit and would stay again.

Absolutely Amazing!
If you’re looking for an amazing view and a spacious house for your family! This is definitely the place , we absolutely enjoyed our stay , the house was very clean, lots of space and plenty of rooms , sitting in the hot tub while looking at that view was my favorite part of the house! Tons of games for adults and the kids , plenty of kitchen equipment so just bring some food! The only thing is that I HIGHLY recommend to have a 4x4 , truck or suv , the road and drive way is not for the faint of heart , my little Kia soul almost didn’t make it up the drive way and I think I had a Mini heart attack lol but other then that it was very cozy and I would recommend it to anyone !

Girls Weekend
Overall, we loved the property. It was nice to have a fully stocked kitchen with lots of kitchen tools, utensils, storage containers, casserole dishes and such. We were happily surprised that there were some extras that we don't always see in rental houses such as aluminum foil and plastic wrap, extra toilet paper in each bathroom, extra trash bags, recycling bins, some basic spices that are commonly used, some coffee for the keurig with some individual packs of sweetner, not a ton for an entire stay, but if you forgot to get your coffee, you can at least get through a day until you get to a store. The property has lovely mountain views. We had plenty of room for 7 women, ranging from 32-47 years old. Plenty of games in the garage to play. We did not use this area b/c we couldn't figure out how to heat the garage and it was down to 20 degrees while we were there. Some issues: the ice maker did not work, so we had no ice for the time we were there. There was a snow storm and we were concerned about getting back down the mountain to go town as we all struggled to get to the location due to the snow and icey conditions. None of our cars were 4 wheel drive and it was quite frightening with all the slipping and sliding, especially since it is a single winding road that doesn't have any lights, other than headlights and the road is near the edge of the mountain. Thankfully, we all made it, but it was soooo scary! So if you are not used to driving in the mountains and there is inclement weather, especially snow and ice, bring a 4 wheel drive vehicle. The fireplace did not have instructions, and we were not able to use it during our trip which is extremely disappointing, especially considering the low temperatures. We couldn't get the pilot light lit and all 7 of us tried and call husbands for help. The hot tub was soo dirty! The water was green and cloudy. We called and they sent someone out. He did add some chemicals and cleaned the filter, which was absolutely disgusting!!!! It did not get any better. Some ladies refused to get in b/c it was so dirty. We tried to make the best of it since the purpose was supposed to hot tubbing, gaming and watching movies by the fire. It did not seem like it had been drained and cleaned before our visit. Overall, we were pleased with the cabin. We agreed we would stay here again, just would request more directions on how to use fireplace/heaters and definitely hot tub drained & cleaned

Wonderful place stay but the following items should be fixed: 1. Hot tub was never cleaned or drained prior to arrival as stated in listing. It has scum and dirt all along the side and this was a huge disappointment because we could not use it because of the water quality. 2. Water and ice dispensers on the refrigerator so not work properly. 3. Basement room where the bunk bed set up has no heat option and when temperatures drop it is beyond being able to used a room. 4. Ping pong table does not have a way to mount the net and basically should just be disposed of because of its size. I would like to be contacted by the owner as I feel that the listing was misrepresented with the hot tub issues that were present. The overall house was fine and thank goodness the views allowed for you to forget about other items that should not have been at this residence.
