The Lazy Bear's Den-guests love the backyard, family room and location!

We are expecting a great snow season-plan your winter trip now. It is an easy drive to Heavenly Ski Resort.
Mid week discounts in place, extend your stay and come ski when the slopes are not so busy.
The Lazy Bear's Den is designed with relaxation in mind. Set up for 2 couples or a small family this spot is the perfect retreat. Come play in the snow, relax or if you have to work WIFI is provided. Spacious fenced yard is such a great place to play.
The location is wonderful: less than 4 miles to Heavenly Ski Resort, the village with shopping and dining, If Sierra At Tahoe is your skiing choice it is approximately 15 miles away. In the summer time the Lake is close, depending on which is your favorite beach.

As you enter the cabin you will immediately notice all the custom wood details, the living area with comfy leather couch and chairs is focused on the gas fireplace and flat screen TV. Adjacent to the living area is the dining room. The kitchen is set up for the family chef to prepare a feast, there are plenty of dishes, pots and pans, serving items. There is a slider to the spacious and fenced backyard-perfect for summer bbqs. There is an additional space off the living area with a couch and a TV-a great space for the kids to play. This room does have a futon if you need an extra spot to sleep.
There is a full bath (shower stall only) that is shared by both bedrooms. The master bedroom has a 1/2 bath attached. The master also has access to the backyard.
The backyard has a Gas BBq, picnic table and chairs.

Perfect weekend getaway

The property was great. Clean and easy to find. The kitchen (and the entire house) was very well appointed and had everything we might need. Super quiet neighborhood. We all loved the more than fair and super simple check out instructions. I would happily stay here again!

Absolutely nothing to be desired. Ten minutes to everything. Spotless. Cozy. What little heat we desired in early June was amply provided by the gas log. Backyard great, we grill cooked and ate outside two nights. Kitchen has everything. We are long time Verb-Os and this has to be one of the best.

Big and comfortable cabin, it has everything we need it to make us feel like home. So many cookware options. The kitchen was well equipped with all the necessary stuff to cook. they have containers in different sizes. I traveled with 4 little girls, the place was perfect and spacious for the kids, they loved the family room because it has a TV. The backyard is huge. Only thing missing was coffee and sugar. But we got our own and it was fine. I really enjoyed it. Great place to stay, highly recommended.

Great stay in the Lazy Bears Den. Clean and cozy, the cabin was as advertised. Great location and close to everything. Some cooking spices, oil, coffee etc would have been a nice touch, Overall very comfortable.

Clean, comfortable, quiet and responsive

Very nice 2BR. All was as described. Michelle was great, accommodating our requests for a slight schedule change and for an early check-in, promptly providing a hair dryer when informed there had been none (we left it in the master bath vanity), and generally being on top of everything and immediately responsive. Thank you again Michelle! Our only critique was that several of the lights flicker, perhaps due to bulbs or lighting fixtures being incompatible with dimmer switches. But otherwise all was terrific. In particular, the heated floor in the master bath is a very nice touch! Thanks again.

Clean and Good value

The Good: The two bedroom house is spacious and welcoming. It has a great layout; it includes a second family room complete with toys and games for kids. The backyard is welcoming and quiet. Kitchen has a thoughtful assortment of utensils and equipment (cast iron pans are in the pantry!). The TV has HBO. The neighborhood is very quiet and scenic. The Bad: This house wasn't as secluded as it appears in the photo, which caused a problem for me as I like to have a lot of natural lighting but the windows looked out onto neighbors. The lighting provided drove me nuts, especially in the living and dining room as there are no direct overhead lights. Many of the windows are difficult to open and close. Thankfully, there were three standing fans and multiple ceiling fans provided for cooling. Bring your own coffee and/or tea- the Keurig pods tasted terrible! The Surprising: I saw a bear outside multiple times on the last night that I was here. The night before, I had left one of the back doors open for ventilation (with the screen door shut). I am really glad the bear didn't visit that night and that I had taken out my trash and anything smelly from my car when I arrived.

Great home

The house is super clean and worked great for our family. The backyard is huge! Family room was great for the kids, stocked with toys and games. I didn’t realize most Tahoe homes didn’t have AC. That was a bummer because it was very warm during our stay. Michelle, the property manager, was amazing. Very responsive and supportive. The 2nd bedroom mattress needs to be replaced. It’s in bad shape. But other than that this house is amazing.

An understatement!

This cabin is very cute - well stocked - and on a quite street not far from the frenzy of South Lake Tahoe. I say an understatement because they say they have a microwave and toaster. Well, they have EVERYTHING! Brand new BBQ, shower with jets, kitchen utensils (all sorts of them), a Keurig and regular coffee maker, washer & dryer, iron and small ironing board, outdoor picnic table and chairs, flat screen TV, and the cutest bear decorations around the cabin. And, even more! Really worth the price and we were quite pleased!

Perfect home away from home!

Our family of 4 had the best week in this gorgeous cabin! We watched 3 VGK games and too many Euro soccer games to count with the fireplace burning. We ate our meals surrounded by the beauty of the trees and laughed hysterically while playing ping pong in the back yard! The house was meticulously clean with every amenity you would have thought and more! The location was exactly what we wanted in our first trip to Tahoe - not too close to the business of Heavenly, but just a short 6 minute drive to the shops and lake. I would stay here again in the summer!!
