"Sean's place was perfect for our family of four! Great location - we biked almost everywhere - and could walk to the beach in 10 minutes. Sean was always very responsive and super helpful. We would highly recommend Sean's place and would stay here again!"

"Rustic historic cabin tucked into the hillside of a mountain community that has an interesting history as a summer retreat. Easy to get to Waynesville or Sylva. Comfortable bed and beautiful location!"

SusanStay at Lazy Bear Cabin

"The most perfect log cabin! It transports you back in time to an authentic 1800s cabin fit with antique wood stove and beautiful antique furniture. At the same time, it also has the finer touches, such as a gas fireplace and an updated kitchen."

MaciStay at Lazy Bear Cabin

"My friends and I loved staying here! The house itself has so much to do from the game room to hot tub or sitting around a fire. It is also located in the ideal spot with so much to do. Thank you for a wonderful stay!"
