Buddy’s Lazy Haven is an exceptionally maintained cabin that sleeps 4 people. It is a private Cabin in a very small subdivision. The Cabin is far enough off of the beaten path to enjoy the peacefulness of the Great Smoky Mountains, but close enough to be at all the area attractions in just minutes. The Cabin sits exactly one mile west off the Gatlinburg Art Loop. The first stop light into Gatlinburg is 10 minutes away. Buddy’s Lazy Haven is within 15-20 minutes of downtown Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Dollywood, Splash Country, Dixie Stampede, and the legendary hiking trails of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Don't forget Ober Gatlinburg for winter skiing, ice skating, and snow tubing.
This 2-story traditional style log cabin is perfect for couples wanting refuge for their exciting Smoky Mountain Vacation or honeymooners looking for a quiet romantic getaway.

Owner Information: I can be contacted via text or phone anytime before, during, or after your stay via Airbnb or 847/894-3239
YOU AGREE TO AND/OR ACKNOWLEDGE THE FOLLOWING IF BOOKING THIS CABIN:
Strict Number of Guests: You MUST accurately disclose the number of guests traveling in your party through Airbnb. This Cabin has a 4 person maximum limit.
Pets/Animals: I do NOT permit pets or animals of any kind for any reason. I have medical conditions that prevent me from having any animals in the cabin.
Hot Tub Cleaning: The Hot Tub is drained and refilled after each guest. Therefore, depending on when the hot tub was filled, it might be cool upon your arrival. The hot tub does take several hours to reach max temperature. This should be kept in mind if booking for only one night. Keeping the lid on will heat the hot tub faster. Any body of water has a potential for drowning. It is slippery in and around the hot tub. Use at your own risk. Children are not allowed in the hot tub.
Heating & AC: The Cabin has a residential system in it like any other home. It is not a commercial system. I ask the AC be set no lower than 68 degrees and the heat no higher than 74. Additionally, the AC cannot be run before, during, or after fireplace use. If you like it cooler, warmer, or like to run the AC with the fireplace, I kindly request you choose another Cabin.
Fireplace: For obvious reasons, the fireplace is non-operational during warm weather months. The fireplace is operational October 15th through February 28th. Again, the AC cannot be run before, during, or after fireplace use.
Cell Service: My Verizon cell service works "ok" for calling or texting. Data usage is not the best; however, the Cabin Wifi works great.
Mountain Roads: The Cabin is easily accessed via asphalt roads. The driveway is moderately steep but I feel it is very easy to travel up and down. There is plenty of space at the top of the driveway to turnaround.
With that being said, in the event of snow, travel is not recommended. This area averages 10 inches of snow per year.
No Smoking: There is no smoking or vaping of any kind permitted in the Cabin!!
Grill Charcoal: Unfortunately, I do not guarantee a supply of charcoal at this time. Please plan accordingly.
Outdoor Fire Pit: I do supply wood for the outdoor fire pit. The fire shall be supervised at all times! If you cause a forest fire, YOU may be charged criminally!
Cleaning Supplies: There is a starter supply of dishwashing soap, garbage bags, and paper towels. You will need to supply your own after the starter supply runs out. Laundry detergent is not supplied.
Summer Yard Maintenance: This Cabin does require routine yard maintenance throughout the spring, summer, and fall. This service is scheduled bi-weekly on Tuesdays during business hours (never too early in the morning). I will attempt to notify you if service is scheduled during your stay. If this is a concern, please let me know.
Check in Time: 4:00 PM (sometimes my housekeeper will have the Cabin ready sooner but there is no guarantee).
Check Out Time: 10:00 AM. The housekeeper arrives shortly after 10:00 A.M..
Pest Control: The cabin is treated regularly for insects, mice, & scorpions. However, you are on a mountain and at times they may make their way inside the cabin. Keep all doors and windows closed at all times to prevent unwanted guests.
**If you are making a reservation on or around October 15th; you are agreeing to permit a service technician to enter the Cabin to start fireplace service for the season. I try to do this in between guests but the schedule sometimes does not work out.
Guest access
Having a vehicle is a necessity. However, Uber is available in the area. You will have access to all living spaces of the Cabin.
Other things to note
I have a strict no refund policy. As in any home, sometimes things break. There will be no refunds for any reason to include power outages, cable outages, malfunctioning TV's, fireplace, hot tub, appliances, etc.. If you encounter any problems, please contact me right away. I will attempt to rectify the issue as soon as is reasonable based on availability of the required technician.
Refunds will not be given for cancellations; no matter the reason.
