From the moment we walked into this lovely house we noticed how clean and organized it was. They thought of everything that we might need even the sandwich boxes for my grandchildren. There was nothing we went without. I would without a doubt pick this venue again. I rate it 5 out of 5. Thank you for making our family get together awesome.

We were very excited to stay here because of all the positive reviews and the beautiful pictures. They don't do it justice. This home is sparkling clean, and they had replaced the blue couches with a beautiful wrap around leather unit. Much more practical, and super comfortable. Everything worked within the house, and the fire pit was so nice to sit around in the afternoon and have cocktails there among the trees. The beds were very comfortable, and the master shower was huge with 2 shower heads and lots of water pressure. The kitchen was well stocked; we were in need of nothing. The views from the living room were beautiful and peaceful, and the neighborhood was super quiet. Plus we were within 10 minutes of the Y, so there was every type of shopping you would ever need close by.
We were the first visitors since everything had been closed down with COVID, and there were 2 minor issues to be dealt with. A simple phone call brought both Roberta and Emily from Vacasa to the property to make them right. They were there within the hour, even though they were absolutely swamped with it being the first day of rentals. A HUGE shout out to these two lovely ladies! Vacasa was so polite and patient with all my questions about the opening, etc., and from beginning to end they were right there in very uncertain and difficult times. In fact, I plan to go out of my way to use Vacasa for future vacation planning.
The Lazy Bear Retreat is a keeper, and we will definitely stay here again!

We booked lazy bear for our weekend in Tahoe for our daughters wedding. It was our first time at Tahoe so I didn’t really know where to stay. I loved Lazy Bear the minute I saw it. I knew this was the place for us. We enjoyed cool mornings and evenings outside on the deck talking and enjoying the relaxing beauty of the scenic home. The trees made a beautiful setting for photos before the wedding and the fireplace a wonderful backdrop as she put her dress on and her dad saw her in it the first time. It was so relaxing at Lazy Bear. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of room with 3 bedrooms for us and our family. It was extremely difficult to reach anyone with questions which was somewhat a negative since the air never worked while we we there and I waited on hold for over an hour and finally gave up. The cool nights made it comfortable but it did get pretty warm during the day. Be mindful of bears, one walked right by the front sliding window which was open to cool things off but it was really cool to see one up close. Overall we loved the Lazy Bear retreat and highly recommend it.

What a treat before the covid-19 shelter in place. A perfect place for our family. So comfortable and very clean. A wonderful place to relax and close enough to Heavenly and downtown south lake. Would definitely rent again. It was perfect. Just remember to bring slippers as shoes are to be left by the entryway.

Gonna come back to you guys next year - you are amazing!

This house is located in a quieter neighborhood of South Lake Tahoe and it is good for up to 7 people. It has two nice balconies and a good size kitchen. The master bedroom is great, the kids room also good but the 3rd bedroom with a queen bed is kind of small and a bit dark. I recommend it for a single family with children but not two couples with kids

This was actually our second choice when looking for a vacation property, but the other didn't have our dates. Well to our wonderful surprise, this is now our first choice for property. It is clean, nice neighborhood, updated, fully stocked with anything you would need. The fire pit on the deck was so nice on a cool summer evening and the new couch is very comfortable and several naps were taken on it during the week! 2 other items that I don't consider a reason to change the good rating - the master bedroom bed is VERY high. I learned a not very graceful way of getting on the bed, and once on it, it was very comfortable The other is the shower in the master bedroom is very weak. I get the reason as I also live in CA and know water conservation, but it took awhile to rinse out my hair. The only thing that I put a 4 instead of a 5 is that I don't like having to drive somewhere to check in, but it was pretty close by. I will look forward in the future to renting this property again. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your property!

It was a very spacious place and nearby a lot of things to do. Also, a very comfortable place to stay

This home well designed, updates and was far away from the Y and state line to be quiet but close enough to enjoy it.

Internet was quick and communication was quicker. We couldn’t be happier with the service and amenities!

Cozy cabin home. Big enough for large family.
Kathryn L. Oct 2018
We rented this particular home because of its location away from the bustle closer to Lake Tahoe proper. It was easy to get to the magnificent fall color in Hope Valley from here. The home was spacious & quiet. Be aware that the master bedroom bed requires some climbing skill as it is very tall! The master bath has been nicely updated. But the kitchen needs better lighting for evening cooking.
Roman K. Aug 2018
The rest was unforgettable! Good for family holidays, or for relaxing with friends. I would definitely like to come back here again!

Very clean nice place.
Emily K. Jul 2018
We enjoyed our week’s stay at the Lazy Bear Retreat! The decor is done so well and makes it feel very cozy and homey. We felt things were clean, tidy, and well organized. The back deck with the twinkling lights and gas fireplace were my favorite! Great place for a glass of wine and card games with family! The place could use a little maintenance attention, but nothing that hindered our stay. We rent a different cabin almost every year and overall this place was great! Very cute!
Jorge E. Jul 2018
Loved this place. Only thing is it was HOT and no AC. You cant even leave the windows open at night to let the house cool down for fear of bears breaking in. That is what I was told by the rental agency. So we slept in 85 degree weather. Other than that. It was not far from stateline and lake tahoe. Maybe 20 minutes.
Manager response:
We are sorry to see this guest was uncomfortable due to mother nature. Guests can leave the bedroom windows open for a cool breeze since they are on the second level. We also provide fans during higher heat days. Thanks!

It is a very nice house in a quite neighborhood, very cozy and well decorated. However it needs a few improvements in the maintenance.
