Lazy Bear Lookout
Escape the daily hustle and bustle to this gorgeous green countryside filled with million-dollar views all year round. This well-cared-for Watauga Vista cabin has end-of-the-road privacy and enough space for the whole family or group. It’s only a couple-minute drive back to the highway, so civilization isn’t far. Drive into town to find local eateries, arts, entertainment, and an array of family-friendly attractions. Take one of the many nature hikes through the wilderness or play on the lake to make your vacation next-level. Relax on the top deck or patio by rocking in the rocking chairs, swaying on the porch swings, lounging in the hot tub, or peeking out at the long-range view through the telescope to find unique wildlife.
Inside you’ll find a bright interior with plenty of space for all! The living area invites you to have great conversations around the fireplace, take in a move on the large TV on the mantle, or play a round of air hockey. Gather at the formal dining table to make memories of eating home-cooked meals or playing a competitive board game. Hobby chefs will love preparing dishes in the spacious kitchen equipped with stainless steel appliances and all the cupboard room you’ll ever need. With five beds, there’s more than enough room for everyone to have a comfortable night’s sleep. Have fun together in the game room, where you’ll find a ping pong table, a pool table, more air hockey, and a TV. Dine alfresco on the deck by the fire table and tell ghost stories. Relax at the end of the day in one of the roomy showers.
