Great location, easy to get around and convenient. Very clean and comfortable home! The hot tub was great after the day at Beech Mountain! We would definitely recommend staying here and we will be back.

We had a wonderful stay at Lazy Bear Inn for July 4th weekend! The cabin was perfect for our family and our dogs! The location was great- it felt quiet and secluded yet it was about a 10 min drive to Boone. The hot tub was wonderful after a long day at Tweetsie with the kids. We did not want to leave. Thank you for letting us stay at your amazing place!

We stayed here over the thanksgiving holiday and had a great time! Everything was clean and homey, the only thing to improve was the hot tub looked like it hasn’t been cleaned in a while so that was kinda gross…but other than that a great stay! our dogs had a wonderful time as well

The Lazy Bear Inn was a beautiful place to stay! The house was very clean. The beds were comfortable. Watching the sunrise from the deck was spectacular. We will definitely rent this place again and use BRMR as our rental agency.

Very nice place to stay! You are just far enough away that you feel in the middle of nowhere but you are within 10 minutes of downtown Boone and APP state! Would love to be the first one the owner calls when they want to sell it!

This home was the perfect set up for a girls trip. Open kitchen with plenty of space for multiple people to help prepare meals if needed. Three full bathrooms which accommodated 6 girls nicely. Plenty of beds and space. Amazing view! The road leading to the house is steep and gravel so be prepared for that, but the driveway is nicely paved with PLENTY of parking. Garage was essential for storing our bicycles and the hot tub was HOT! Would 10/10 recommend and hope to stay there again soon.

Thank you so much! We are so glad you enjoyed your girls getaway! Please come back and enjoy the view anytime! - BRMR

Hello! Our family of five enjoyed our stay at the Lazy Bear very much! We stayed during the week of Thanksgiving. The cabin was clean and well appointed and we had everything that we needed right down to a beautiful Turkey platter. The fenced in area on the deck and the fenced yard was wonderful for the dogs! The views were gorgeous and the location in regards to Boone and surrounding towns was great. We will definitely recommend this cabin to friends and we hope to stay at the Lazy Bear again in the future! Thank you!

Excellent communication regarding the weather, house rules and accommodation in general. Even during flooding/storm in the area, they provided a lot of information beforehand so that we were in a comfortable spot to make appropriate travel arrangements. the management was top notch! The place is excellent and the views are breathtaking. I'd definitely recommend my friends and family to visit.

Wonderful location. Far enough outside of downtown Boone for a country feel but convenient to shopping and amenities. Lovely views. Loved having cows for neighbors.

We had a wonderful stay at Lazy Bear in Sugar Grove, NC. The location was perfect with a lovely view of the mountains. Plenty of comfy space for the family and our dogs had a blast. We had everything we needed and more. The place was immaculately clean too. It was a relaxing retreat and we will definitely book again. The location is great. Very close to Boone and Banner Elk. Lots of great places to walk, hike or ride your bike.

Great house for stay with family or friends. It’s very pet friendly. Located between Boone and Banner Elk so relatively close to all activities. House is easy to get to.

We had a great stay at this house. It’s well stocked with all the things you need. Everything seemed brand new. It’s about 15 min outside of Boone and 30-40 min to Hawks Nest, Beech Mtn and Grandfather Mtn. We would definitely stay here again.
