Review summary
Generated from real Hipcamper reviews
The Lazy Bear Cabin offers a cozy retreat in the Sierra Nevada foothills, perfect for those seeking peace and privacy. Guests appreciate its proximity to Tahoe and the variety of outdoor activities nearby. Jeff, the host, is often praised for his responsiveness and helpfulness, ensuring a comfortable stay. While the cabin provides essential comforts and beautiful forest views, visitors should be prepared to bring their own linens and perhaps a few extra supplies.

Very cute and quaint. Great for relaxation, and it’s very open but also pretty secluded.

Jeff's cabin was great - super cool location and clean and cozy, and a very good value. We loved exploring the areas around the cabin and there is so much to do. Jeff was a helpful host and a cool guy. Definitely recommend a stay to anyone in the area.
