The Lazy Cat Lodge was a perfect home for our family. Check-in was as easy as possible and the home was clean and well maintained. Our kids enjoyed the basketball court and the large outdoor areas to play. To top it off, the owner (Doc) was very accommodating when we had to make some schedule changes. Doc couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. All-in-all, a great experience!

Great stay at the Lazy Cat

We were in town for a wedding and the Lazy Cat was absolutely perfect for our group. The first floor master bedroom and walk in shower was exactly what we needed for grandma. The property was extremely well maintained and stocked. We didn’t have time to take advantage of the many amenities available but hope to at a future stay. Thanks Doc!
