Dog Friendly and Close to Casino. NO crazy hills

Easy mountain getaway, minus the white-knuckle mountain drive! Lazy Daze is a cozy, dog-friendly cabin perfectly tucked between Bryson City and Cherokee. Enjoy a big yard, fire pit, covered porch, full kitchen and a fun loft for the kids, all with easy access to the Smokies, casino, waterfalls, hiking and more.

Description

Welcome to **Lazy Daze Cozy Cabin**, where your Smoky Mountain vacation can start without wondering if your car is actually supposed to climb THAT road.

This cozy 1-bedroom cabin is one of our easiest properties to access and sits just 5 miles from both **Bryson City and Cherokee**, making it a great home base for exploring Western North Carolina.

Inside, you'll find a queen bedroom, full bathroom, comfortable living room with an ambiance fireplace, Smart TVs, WiFi and a fully equipped kitchen. Upstairs, the loft has a queen mattress and makes a fun additional sleeping space, especially for kids.

Outside, slow down in the rocking chairs, enjoy the large yard or end the evening around the fire pit. Bring the dog, bring the marshmallows and settle into mountain time.

**Please note: Lazy Daze does NOT have a hot tub.**

The cabin and property was awsome. Really enjoyed sitting outside and hearing all the birds. Only negative I have and really hate to say anything, but there was a lot of black hair all over the bathroom, kinda had to wonder about cleanliness it was even on the curtains. But we would definitely use sgain if we came that way. Thanks again.
