About this property

Dog Friendly and Close to Casino. NO crazy hills

  • 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.

Quick trip to relax

The little cabin was all that we needed. Nothing fancy, but very cozy and comfortable. A short driving distance between Bryson City and Cherokee. Jimmy Macs is a great place to eat. Yummy food and not too expensive. We took several hikes to see the waterfalls - just beautiful. We would definitely stay there again.
