Perfectly situated in Balsam NC, right in the middle of Sylva and Waynesville this historic cabin will remind you of stories you may have heard from your own Grandpappy. A time when folks sat on their porch, sipping sweet tea while widdling sticks telling their stories to their neighbors and friends. A time when life was less hurried and less stressed. You’ll immediately sense an “Ahhh” deep in your soul when you arrive. With long range Mountain View’s and song birds singing their mountain songs, It will feel like you, too, just slipped back in time.
Lazy Bear Cabin is a quaint mix of antiques and modern decor! From the amazing vintage stove (that really works and is not just for show!) to unique items, leather couches and comfy beds, the hosts left no detail un-noticed. The hosts provided thoughtful guest touches for us to use and enjoy throughout the cabin. What a wonderful family these hosts were! Sean, the host of Lazy Bear was very responsive to any and all questions we had.
You don’t even have to venture out far for beauty in “these parts”! Just walking around this quiet neighborhood, we discovered 3 rushing creeks, various kinds of wild flowers, bees buzzing, groundhog’s, a whole pasture full of Tom turkeys and surrounding views of Western North Carolina that will leave you breathless.
If you do go down the mountain, Sylva, less than 20 minutes away with great shopping and delish coffee spots like White Moon Coffee Shop. In the other direction, about the same distance, is Waynesville. It too has great shopping on brick lined sidewalks and yummy restaurants like Sweet Onion, Boo Jum and our favorite: Haywood Smokehouse.
This is a place you won’t forget. We definitely won’t!! The atmosphere, location, the views, the adventures, the food... it’s all right here to make yours a story to pass on!
