Lazy Bear Lodge…What a lovely family vacation destination!

The Lazy Bear Lodge in Oakland, MD was an awesome summer family vacation destination. The well-equipped house & mountain/lake area had so much to offer for my family of 7 (with our 3 adult children & 2 spouses). We had such a fabulous trip! Thank you to our host, Alayne, who took such good care of us in all of the details & great communication.

Winter vacation with family and friends

The property is very nicely furnished. Everything was clean and ready when we arrived. The owners responded to questions quickly, It’s very secluded the way it is built into the hill. The back deck area is a great way to enjoy the peace and quiet. It’s very close to the Swallow Falls trails and the wisp resort. We would stay here again.

The Lazy Bear was great!

Very clean, and well stocked! Close to everything but very secluded and relaxing. Surrounded by wild life. Enjoyed the deck fireplace. Hosts went above and beyond to provide information about area attractions. The neighboring state parks were beautiful, all just minutes away. Loved morning coffee on the deck. Grand kids staged a week long ring toss tournament during down time. Great fun.

Relaxing Family Retreat

I couldn't have made a better choice on accommodations for our 3 generation family vacation. There are large indoor and outdoor spaces for when we were all together. There are also so many quiet spots for tv watching, games, hot tub relaxing, fireside chats, reading, napping and snacking. The decor is sort of luxury rustic lodge, but don't let that fool you. This home has every luxury and technological upgrade to make this a very comfortable place. WiFi, heated floors, Sonos sound system, gas grill, huge expanse of granite countertop, 3 fire places and more and more. We cooked big meals for 6 nights and had lots of room to prepare and share the table. I definitely recommend this property.
