The Lazy Bear Cabin offers a cozy retreat with a great balance of comfort and nature, perfect for families and couples looking to escape the city. Guests appreciate the well-equipped cabin, complete with a kitchen and a bathroom with hot water, which is particularly appealing to those with less rustic camping preferences. The cabin's proximity to nature and privacy is a highlight, providing a sense of seclusion while still being conveniently located near I-80. Some guests suggest bringing additional bedding for comfort, but overall, the cabin is praised for its tranquility and the attentive, helpful host.

We had a wonderful stay at Jeff's cabin. Jeff was communicative and helpful. The cabin had all the basic necessities and worked well for my teenage daughter and myself. There was plenty of space to explore on the property, and the forest and creek areas were beautiful. If you travel during the summer months, be prepared for lots of mosquitoes. If you visit on a permissible burn day, I highly recommend using the fire pit for a campfire. It was a great way to end our trip. I suggest you bring your own extra toilet paper, towels, dish soap, and hand soap. Some of these items were provided, but it was nice to have extra since there are not any stores nearby. We look forward to visiting in the future.

Great combination of comfort with ruggedness. Perfect for our family. All the comforts of home to appease the wife but to also satisfy man's desire to reconnect with nature. Also super close to 80.

Group trip
Oh man where do I start. I love this place it’s the first time my teen kids, boyfriend, and I went camping together. We spent 1 night passing through, and it was one of the best nights I had in along time. The cabin was fully equipped with pull out bed, kitchen with utensils, pots, pans plates, cups, fridge even seasonings. The bathroom has working amenities with hot water. This was great for my city teenagers. Tv had WiFi but we were having such a great time spending time with each other we didn’t care. It says that it fit 8 people it was 4 of us and not so comfortable for 4 grown people maybe for smaller kids but we adults slept outside under the stars and loved it. The host was really accommodating responded to every question timely and really friend.. he made us feel like home away from home.. if your looking for that out of the city get away with your other half or with family I highly recommend this cabin.

Perfect Cozy Getaway
With pets
Lazy Bear Cabin was the perfect cozy getaway for our little family! The location was not far off I-80 (but plenty far enough that you're nowhere near the noise), so it was easy to get to. We didn't use it as such, but it'd be the perfect base camp for Tahoe adventures or getting to the local ski resorts.
In off-grid cabins like this, they don't always have running water, so that was a huge plus to have a sink, shower, and flush toilet. We really enjoyed spending the morning with coffee at the countertop bar that overlooks a forest of pine trees. Don't forget to bring your own linens including blankets and towels as this place didn't have any.
The pullout sofa was comfortable enough but some may prefer to bring their own air mattress or sleeping pads. The road in was paved almost the entire way and easy for our truck camper to get to, but was dirt the last 1/10th of a mile. You probably want at least AWD in the winter months so you don't get stuck.
Overall, we loved our stay here and would absolutely go again!

Snug cabin in the woods
Perfectly snug cabin for me and my daughter. Gas stove for cooking and hot water for showers. Cabin warms up in the sun during the day so we didn't need a fire inside at night. But bring blankets! A good fire pit for s'mores and hot dogs. Nice exploring in the surrounding forest including a nearby creek! Nothing really close by so bring what you need.. including food! The owner is communicative, helpful and close-by if you need anything!

Great cabin in the trees.
We loved our time at Jeff's cabin. The cabin has everything you need to live a comfortable off grid life. We had snow on the ground durong iur visit that made the place feel tranquil and relaxing. We would totally go again.
In my opinion the bed isn't the most comfortable so maybe bring a air mattress to make it a little more cozy.
Overall this is a great place with everything you need. Jeff is very responsive and helpful. We'll be back again when I can wander through the trees.
Thanks

Cute little cabin get away!
Cute little get away! My last experience using Hipcamp was in a yurt which I enjoyed thoroughly but definitely needed a little more amenities such as a running toilet haha and that’s one of the things I got with Jeff’s cabin! Come around this time and maybe you’ll be gifted with a pretty significant amount of snow! Recommended to bring your own bedding, towels, maybe some toilet paper in case hehe and WOOD! My husband and I forgot toilet paper and wood but Jeff was very accommodating and kind! We did have a very minor issue but was it resolved quickly! Also if you are not good with maintaining the fire during winter temps, consider a heated blanket. I had fun keeping the coals alive hah. Lastly a queen size air mattress fits.

It was really nice. Jeff got it all cozy for our arrival, and with two little air mattresses it slept 2 adults and 2 kids. It was all really clean and modern and exactly what we needed before a snow day. A gentle old black lab even came by to play with the kids in the morning and patiently awaited an invite before approaching. Highly recommend.

The cabin was a perfect quick getaway and the woodfire stove was awesome. The property is tucked away and quiet which is exactly what we were looking. The kitchen space is small but has everything you'd need just like the bathroom. The pull out couch was surprisingly comfortable and I didn't need to use our camping cot that we had brought just in case. We plan on coming back out here maybe in the summer since the proximity to Truckee and the north side of the lake is great. Jeff was very responsive on the phone and ready to help with whatever was needed. Thumbs up to the Lazy Bear Cabin

Quiet and Cozy Mountain Retreat
With pets
Jeff’s cabin and land are definitely a treat!
Nestled in the woods, the cabin has a lot of privacy, and there is plenty of space to explore around!
I loved being able to have a full kitchen, bath, and fireplace, all with gorgeous views. We felt super relaxed coming back!
Also, Jeff made sure things were comfortable and safe for us during our stay.
When coming to Jeff’s cabin, remember to pack in and out, and leave no trace to maintain its beauty! Lastly, definitely pack warm with lots linens and blankets for the winter months.
Thanks for a wonderful stay, and making my birthday one for the books ❄️

Unforgettable Escape in the woods!
Our recent stay at the cabin was truly magical. Nestled deep in the woods, it offered the perfect blend of tranquility and comfort. The cabin itself was beautifully appointed, with cozy fireplace, well-equipped kitchen. We especially enjoyed stargazing and relaxing on the porch. The peace and quiet were unparalleled, and we felt completely rejuvenated by our time away. Highly recommend this idyllic getaway for anyone seeking a truly memorable experience.

Cozy Cabin Away from It All
It's a perfect snowy hideaway about 45 minutes south of Truckee, about 10 miles off 80. Our dog LOVED playing in the snow and taking a couple of long walks down the paved, plowed private road that leads to the cabin.
The woodburning stove works great, and Jeff left us a generous amount of firewood to use free of charge, which was a major bonus.
Don't forget to bring your comforter and pillows to make a cozy nest!

Amazing experience at Jeff's Lazy Bear Cabin! My family and I really enjoyed our stay in this cozy and comfy place. Jeff went above and beyond to make our experience as memorable as possible; he made sure the cabin was nice and warm by starting the chimney ahead of our arrival. Jeff was very responsive with any doubt that we had and pointed out excellent suggestions for places nearby to visit. Definitely coming back!

Warm and cozy/Exceptional host
The cabin is private, clean, and cozy with all the amenities you need. We had a bond fire at night and the stars were beautiful. Jeff is an excellent host who goes above and beyond. We forgot bedding and he was happy to bring us everything we needed. We will definitely be back.
