The newly furnished living room with scenic windows overlooking an Aspen grove, is a welcoming space to gather with friends and family. Kick back and relax near the crackling wood burning stove, or step out onto the wrap around decks, and immerse yourself in the tranquil beauty of the White River National Forest, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

The unique log staircase leading to the master bedroom loft is adorned with beautiful newel post wildlife carvings. At the foot of a king sized bed with a memory foam mattress sits a claw foot bathtub.

The spacious lower level, with radiant in floor heat, has two comfortable bedrooms and a queen sleeper sofa in the family room. The fully equipped kitchen contains everything needed to prepare a great meal.

This cabin was truly amazing! For the price, I was disappointed in the lack of cleaning.

Cost Effective Ski Lodging
We stayed here to ski a few days in Aspen. The cabin is just under an hour away, and it was perfect. Spacious and comfortable, and much more affordable than the lodging closer to the resorts. We would have loved to stay longer.

Great time in Besalt!
Loved the location, the views, and proximity to the reservoir for paddle boarding! The cabin was great although the downstairs smelled a bit like sulfur when we first arrived it aired out pretty quickly...would like to see the two downstairs bedrooms updated. Thank you we will be back!

Beautiful place to relax
We enjoyed our stay and was sad to leave. The only draw back was the basement bathtub/shower drain was not working properly. Good thing there was only 3 of us that no issues sharing the 1st floor bathroom.

Lazy Bear Cabin
We enjoyed Lazy Bear cabin and it’s tranquil setting. We saw a bear and two deer fawns with their mamas. We wished it was closer to our planned activities, and that the electric grill worked. Overall, it was a great way to spend some quality time with our adult kiddos! Thanks, The Parker’s

Lazy Bear Cabin Fall Experience
The property has a wonderful cabin feel with the log cabin construction, carvings, deck and views. The location near world class fly fishing and a variety of outdoor activities is very unique. Basalt is a short drive away for fun restaurants and shops. The kitchen is equipped at a basic level consistent with a rustic cabin and worked fine for meals at the cabin. We enjoyed fly fishing at the nearby Frying Pan River and spectacular fall color hikes at Maroon Bells and other areas near Aspen. It was a good home base for a memorable family experience.

House is beautiful, but...
The house is gorgeous, but driving through the narrow streets with rocks falling. Streets that being slippery with a lot of snow and there are no guard rails on the very steep streets, you could just slip right off of the cliff. This will give you a heart attack. Go in the summer.

Beautiful, quiet, peaceful winter trip.
The cabin was lovely and a beautiful place to stay. The kitchen had everything needed to cook for a group of 6 for the long weekend. The wood stove was perfect for the winter nights. One of the bedrooms had 2 twin beds, which were very squeaky, so we just used the sofa bed instead and it was quite comfortable. Our only wish was that there was WiFi or a land line phone at the house. Being so far out of town and without cell service, it would have been a comfort to have some connection. Plus a way to make restaurant reservations before driving into town. With that being said, it was so nice to disconnect from technology and just have fun and laugh together.

Mountain Home Vacation
This is a beautiful property and location. Home was awesome. We had a wonderful stay and everything we needed. The only problem and the only reason for not giving the rating all fives is that we did not have hot water the whole time we were there. However, they did compensate us for that. We knew that there was no cell phone service and no land line so we were fine with that except when we had no hot water there was no way to contact management company to let them know until we drove into town so we could text them. And then they thought they had it fixed but it wasn’t and again, we would have had to drive someplace that had cell phone service. We would stay here again for sure because it is a beautiful home and they did at least try to get it fixed and did compensate us some for the inconvenience.

Nice views, challenging floor plan
Be aware that the king bedroom is a loft with no privacy. It is open and visible from the living room and the deck. The tub is near the end of the bed and is also easily seen from below. It would be a very simple remedy to install a cable with a curtain which could be drawn - or not - depending upon the needs of the renters. The upstairs toilet is behind a partial wall with no door, so folks downstairs can hear what’s going on. On a positive note, the cabin is in a lovely, isolated location, with a pleasant deck on which we enjoyed a glass of wine while we watched deer and hummingbirds, and looked out at the mountains.
