Cute little cabin get away!

Cute little get away! My last experience using Hipcamp was in a yurt which I enjoyed thoroughly but definitely needed a little more amenities such as a running toilet haha and that’s one of the things I got with Jeff’s cabin! Come around this time and maybe you’ll be gifted with a pretty significant amount of snow! Recommended to bring your own bedding, towels, maybe some toilet paper in case hehe and WOOD! My husband and I forgot toilet paper and wood but Jeff was very accommodating and kind! We did have a very minor issue but was it resolved quickly! Also if you are not good with maintaining the fire during winter temps, consider a heated blanket. I had fun keeping the coals alive hah. Lastly a queen size air mattress fits.

With kids

It was really nice. Jeff got it all cozy for our arrival, and with two little air mattresses it slept 2 adults and 2 kids. It was all really clean and modern and exactly what we needed before a snow day. A gentle old black lab even came by to play with the kids in the morning and patiently awaited an invite before approaching. Highly recommend.

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

Quiet and Cozy Mountain Retreat

With pets

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.
