Blue Spruce Cabin at Lazy Oaks – Lake Days, Starry Nights & Cozy Vibes

Let’s Talk Lake Life Grab your pole and cast a line just steps from your cabin—this well-stocked lake is home to Blue Gill, Catfish, Northern Pike, and Largemouth Bass. Feeling extra adventurous? Rowboats are up for grabs April through October, so you can paddle your way into peaceful bliss.
Prefer dry land? Lace up those boots and hit the nearby mountain trails for some fresh-air exploring!
Meet the Blue Spruce Cabin – Your Cozy Basecamp This comfy cutie sleeps up to 4 guests and features a dreamy king bed in the bedroom and a queen sleeper sofa in the living room. Whip up your favorite meals in the fully stocked kitchen, gather ‘round the dining table for eats and laughs, and stay connected with Wi-Fi (or pretend you're off the grid—your call!).
The Fun Doesn’t Stop Inside After a day on the lake, fire up the charcoal grill, toast marshmallows at one of our three fire pits, or challenge your crew to a game of horseshoes (bragging rights included).
Got a pup in tow? Blue Spruce has a special enclosed space just for your four-legged friend, so they can vacation too!

Before You Book… Just a Few Things to Know About Lazy Oaks Resort-
We like to keep it real around here, so we’ve put together a few friendly disclaimers to help set expectations. Lazy Oaks Resort is a special place — rustic, beautiful, and full of character — but it’s not for everyone.
Yes, it’s beautiful here. Yes, it’s peaceful. But let’s be honest — when you stay this close to the lake and woods, you're signing up for a front-row seat to the wild side of the White Mountains. That includes bugs (despite our constant spraying), bats (they eat the bugs, so technically they’re staff), mice (adorable freeloaders), geese (loud and entitled), badgers (surprisingly bold), and yes... occasionally, bears (they were here first).
Now, don’t panic — actual wildlife encounters are rare. Most critters keep to themselves, especially if you don’t leave snacks out like it’s a buffet for the forest. But still — if the idea of a spider ruins your weekend, this might not be your dream getaway.
Pet owners, listen up: we love animals — yours, ours, and the wild ones that roam the area. But please keep your furry friends leashed and in your sight at all times. This is real nature, not a fenced-in dog park. Wildlife doesn't care how sweet your pup is, and we'd like to avoid any awkward encounters that end in vet visits or dramatic stories.
About the internet... Yes, we have Wi-Fi, and yes, it usually works pretty well — we’re talking about 90%-95% success, which earns a gold star up here in the mountains. But it’s not perfect. Our Smart TVs run on that same connection, so they may occasionally get “dumber” than advertised.
More importantly — you didn’t come all this way to watch reruns of your favorite show. You came for fresh air, starry skies, and that glorious lake just outside your door. We’ve got free kayaks, pedal boats, fishing, hiking trails, and enough sunshine to completely reset your mood. So shut the laptop, drop the remote, and go make a real memory — the kind that doesn’t need Wi-Fi.
A few more things to know… Lazy Oaks is home to 18 rustic cabins tucked into about 4 acres of private lakefront property. Yes, you’ll have neighbors. Yes, you’ll share grills and boats. And yes — that’s part of the charm. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself around a campfire, swapping stories, sharing snacks, and making new friends with people you never expected to meet. It’s a social kind of place — in the best way possible.
And those cabins? Many date back to the 1930s–1950s. They’re clean, cozy, and full of charm you just can’t fake — the kind that creaks a little and tells stories in its sleep. We’re gently updating them over time, keeping the best of the old while making space for the comforts of the new. If you appreciate character with your comfort, you’re going to love it here.
If you're looking for ultra-modern, sterile, and silent... well, we hear Scottsdale’s nice. But if you’re ready for a lakeside escape with soul — we’ve got a cabin waiting for you.
The bottom line? 100% of guests who arrive with the right expectations have a wonderful time — and hundreds return year after year. Lazy Oaks isn’t just a place to stay. It’s a place to slow down, reconnect, and soak in something real. We just want you to know what we’re all about — and if that sounds like your kind of getaway, we can’t wait to host you.
Just a heads-up: We do ask all guests to sign a short rental agreement before arrival. We didn’t want to go all “legal,” but our lawyers insisted — especially since we’re right on the lake, welcome pets, and offer free use of boats. Thanks for understanding!
The cabin is heated and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a fireplace, a sofa bed, and a fenced private yard.

Upgrades needed
No firewood to burn and when you call management about it, they could care less the rooms were old and deteriorating the furnace went out. We called about it, but they didn’t care either. We’ll never go back.

Not bad not great
Last minute trip, overall alright experience. The cabin’s floors were sagging, TV didn’t work, and everything was super outdated. Laminate floors etc. Close to lake and very quite were the only plus’s

Cute cabin experience
This property is one of many small cabins with a shared outdoor space. It’s located at the back of the property close to the entrance. You can see the lake from the outdoor back patio and it’s a short walk to the lake. There is a front desk with unposted hours but there is an area with supplies that is accessible when the front desk is closed. Everything is really old and the cabin was drafty. It is heated by electric wall and free standing units that work well. There isn’t any private outdoor space and the cabins are quite close to each other. The space was clean. There were mouse traps and the pull out cutting board had a substantial amount of mouse poop on it. It is understandable to have mice in a cabin like that but it was a little icky. We had a great time on the trip. It was especially nice to have a fenced in space for my dog.
