Our family getaway at Lazy Bear Lakehouse.
We were extremely impressed with the cleanliness of the property inside and out. The thoughtfulness of having everything we needed to make our stay the most comfortable. The beds and linens were fresh, extremely comfortable and pristine. They truly thought of everything to ensure our stay was memorable and enjoyable and they were easy to communicate with. Great fishing from the dock was also a huge plus!

Our new favorite place!
The Lazy Bear Lakehouse is such a beautiful and cozy place; the owners Michelle and Ryan have thought of everything! Such excellent hosts! The location really made for a relaxing and memorable stay with family. An ideal and pleasant getaway from the city. A beautiful place to get away, unplug and enjoy nature; cozying up around a nice fire outdoors was a highlight! We our planning another visit (longer next time), and we will be recommending your lovely place to everyone!! Thank you so much for everything and looking forward to another visit. All the best et à bientôt!

Perfect cottage retreat
This cottage was an absolutely perfect getaway for me and my family. We spent a relaxing week, jumping in the lake, enjoying the views and soaking up the sun & fresh air. Michelle's place is even nicer and more well equiped than in the photos. I would definitely stay here again!

We like the cottage a lot and are considering to rent it again in the future. Three recommendations: Put mosquito repellants on deck and fire pit, fix door to deck, and include a couple of kayak.

Family gathering
We enjoyed our time at the Lazy Bear Lakehouse on Buckhorn Lake very much with our adult children and grand dogs. The cottage is lovely, the setting quiet and serene, although we were there during the week only and in June and suspect it might get busier on weekends and during full summer. We enjoyed the paddle boards provided and brought kayaks as well. We weren't able to enjoy a campfire as there was/is a fire ban, for good reason. I was unable to reply to the host on the thread upon arrival as google stated I'd been redirected too many times - weird - but I was able to email separately and communicate by text, hence the 4 stars for communication and check in but that was not a fault of the hosts. Also google maps directed two of our group down the wrong lane so we drove past the neighbour's cottage before we realized it was down the next lane. The geese had taken up residence on the deck and lawn before we arrived and the host offered to get the maintenance crew back to clean it up but we looked after it. It's nature - sh** happens! Our weather was beautiful and we really enjoyed our stay!

Great time at Lazy Bear
From the moment we arrived we had an excellent time. Because my wife needs a wheelchair and walker, the lakehouse was easy for her to get around. I found the renovations were really thought through, from the sunroom addition to the light switches everything was excellently done. Totally impressed with the appliances, it was just like being at home, everything you need. With everything being supplied, it just added to the comfort level at Lazy Bear. They also have a great cleaning crew. Lazy Bear was exceptionally clean. Michelle and Ryan were readily available for a couple of questions that we had. Great Hosts. The only problem we had was with there renovations they forgot to put in a heated toilet seat LOL Thanks again Highly recommend for a great holiday Dave & Betty

Peace Personified
4 out of 7 rooms have huge windows facing the lake. I literally did not watch the TV more than once because I was mesmerized by the sights and sounds of this gorgeous property. The incredible night sky kept me out way past my bedtime I could actually see constellationss! All day there was so much birdsong... Ducks, Geese, Loons, Robins, Cardinals, Doves, blackbirds finches and so many more. I've only been back home for 1 day and I already want to book my next stay! Don't even get me started on the perfect screened in sunroom. If you've ever wanted to lounge around comfortably all day and then unwind a bit more - just watch the colours of the lake and sky as the light slowly fades each evening.

5-star lakehouse 🐻🌟
I stayed at the Lazybear Lakehouse with my family for 3 nights and it was one of the best cottage/lakehouse that I ever visited. From the moment we walked in we kept saying how nice it is, from the location, to the interior, and to the view. The LBL is different from other rentals since it feels so homey and comfortable, you have everything you could need and more. The entire house is amazing but my favourite rooms were the kitchen (more than fully-equipped) and the sunroom (great for morning coffees). Michelle was available to answer any questions and her online guide was super helpful! I would definitely book again and keep recommending it to all my friends :)

Lazy Bear is a lovely escape
The Lazy Bear Lakehouse is a luxurious, lovely plan to relax and unwind. It’s beautifully decorated and so clean! The bed linens were immaculate. The fireplace and TV room was a perfect place to lounge. We loved the view, especially because it was fall. I highly recommend staying here.
