Welcome to Lazy Daze Cozy Cabin!



All the mountain fun, without the steep mountain drive!



Want to explore the Smoky Mountains without navigating a steep, narrow road every time you come and go? Lazy Daze might be exactly what you're looking for!



Conveniently located approximately 5 miles from both Bryson City and Cherokee, this cozy, dog-friendly cabin is a great choice for couples, small families and travelers who want to spend more time enjoying the mountains and less time worrying about getting there.



Inside, you'll find a comfortable queen bedroom, full bathroom, inviting living room with an ambiance fireplace, Smart TVs, WiFi, a fully equipped kitchen and a washer and dryer. We've included plenty of thoughtful extras to help make your stay comfortable.



Need additional sleeping space? The upstairs loft has a queen-size mattress placed directly on the floor. There is no bed frame or traditional bed in the loft. It's a fun, casual sleeping area best suited for kids or adventurous adults who are comfortable sleeping at floor level and accessing the loft.



Outside, enjoy morning coffee in the rocking chairs on the covered porch, challenge someone to a giant game of Connect Four, let your pup enjoy the large yard or gather around the fire pit for an evening of marshmallows and mountain memories.



Spend your days exploring waterfalls, hiking trails, local restaurants, the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad or Harrah's Cherokee Casino. When the day's adventures are over, you can return without tackling a steep mountain road.



Sleeping Arrangements



Main Bedroom: Queen bed on the main level



Upstairs Loft: The upstairs loft offers a fun additional sleeping space, especially for kids or adventurous adults! As shown in the photos, the loft has a low ceiling and features a queen-size mattress placed directly on the floor, not a traditional bed or bed frame.

This cozy space is best suited for children or adults who don't mind the low ceiling, accessing the loft and sleeping at floor level. Please review the loft photos before booking to make sure this sleeping arrangement is comfortable for everyone in your group.

The cabin was perfect. Had everything we needed. Plenty of space for our week away, just the hubby and me. The ONLY thing that wasn't ideal, for us, was the driveway down to the cabin. It is very narrow, gravel and steep. If you are pulling a trailer/bringing motorcycles you may want to consider that. But we made it work! Otherwise, we had no complaints and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The hosts and their property manager were great!

The cabin and property was awsome. Really enjoyed sitting outside and hearing all the birds. Only negative I have and really hate to say anything, but there was a lot of black hair all over the bathroom, kinda had to wonder about cleanliness it was even on the curtains. But we would definitely use sgain if we came that way. Thanks again.
