Decent but with some flaws
We stayed at this log cabin with our dog for four nights. I probably wouldn't choose to stay here again, but mostly due to personal preferences. The pros: the cabin is very spacious with nice, comfortable places to gather. We enjoyed playing the provided board games and the gas fireplace. The property is quite private, surrounded by trees, with birds flittering about and fresh clean mountain air. The queen bed in the second bedroom was very comfortable (nice and firm). Folks who like a very soft bed will love the King bed in the master. Both bathrooms were very nice. Good coffee options with a drip and a Keurig. The cons: Although the kitchen is large, it is mostly stocked with cheap teflon pots and pans. I'd have brought our own if I'd known. There rest of the provided supplies were fine though. We were there in October, during absolutely gorgeous sunny fall weather, but there was nowhere on the property to sit and enjoy the sun at any time during the day. The shape of the house and the steep and deep covered porches make everything inside and outside the house very dark (at least in mid-October). The backyard was completely shady all day and is the size of a small courtyard with mostly gravel and a very small section of grass along the edge. Sitting up above one of the main gravel roads in the community, the traffic noise was considerable as more people came up for the weekend. The hosts were always quick to respond and made the check-in and check-out process very easy.

Beautiful Cabin
My family came to Waynesville for a wedding but we decided to stay a week and make the most of the area. The cabin was a perfect place for my family and pups and like so many others said, it was well stocked. There was nothing I needed that wasn’t in that cabin. The neighborhood was nice too and my kids loved the donkey at the gate of the community. Overall, the cabin was perfect for us and exactly what we needed. If we ever come back down, we’d definitely choose to stay here again.

This cabin is beautiful! The cleanliness was the best we have ever seen! The house had everything we needed and more. The porch was so relaxing!!! Comfy beds, great decor and furniture. The only feedback would be the porch doesnt have a gate for four legged members of the family so be sure to bring a baby gate or something to block that exit point.

Stay here!
The Lazy Moose is a great cabin & literally on a mountain! It has a steep driveway and that can be scary the first time up and down the mountain but my front wheel drive handled it fine (late March). The wrap around porch had very comfy rockers to observe the surroundings in style. The firepit had big Adirondack chairs and plenty of firewood for nightly s’mores and time together under the stars. My dog loved running around the porch and back fenced in yard. We did use the connect four game to block off the porch for his security. The kitchen and bathrooms were big and well appointed; everything was so clean. We enjoyed meals around the table together. The gas fireplace was easy to operate and so pretty. The moose were all around in the decor and some bears too! It was so peaceful to wake up in the dark (good shades and curtains to block out light) and then open everything up to the beauty of the mountains. Day trips to the Blue Ridge Parkway, Waynesville, Maggie Valley, Lake Junaluska were all easy to get to and nice places to visit. I wouldn’t hesitate to book here-the only 4 star I listed was because I got an email the day of stay at 1pm to tell me what to do. That’s a bit late to me. By that time of day, we had been on the road a while and if I didn’t have a good data plan, I’d be worried about not receiving that message. I told friends and family about this gem and intend to go back! I’m very grateful to have spent a wonderful week at this lovely cabin.

The house was perfect. Well equipped with everything you need for a perfect stay. Up to date modern appliances. Master bath was large and very clean. Could use a porch gate if you have a pet otherwise you will need to improvise to keep your pet on the big wrap around porch. Back area where fire pit is located is fenced so no worries about your pet leaving.

Sparkling clean, maintained and stocked. Close to Maggie Valley. Loved the floorplan and deck with corn hole and connect four. Houses around but still private. We loved the sweet donkey at the entrance. He greeted us everytime. We wished the Wi-Fi was stronger. Couldn’t make calls or watch TV but house was stocked with tons of DVDs. The sweet ornament was appreciated and will be a memory to last a lifetime. Love this place!!!
