Waterfront Cottage - Hot Tub - Free kayaks & Canoes - Sleeps 6 - Pets Welcome!

"Lazy Bear" is part of "Riverwood Log Cabins," 12 waterfront cabins, and cottages that my husband, Parker, and I established in 1997.

There's a large private bedroom with a queen bed, a private loft with a futon bed that sleeps 2 comfortably, and a 2-person futon bed by the front windows, overlooking the river.

The full kitchen has a refrigerator, stove, oven, microwave, and hot and cold water dispenser. The dining room is spacious and features a table with 4 chairs.

The bathroom has both a shower and a bathtub.

There is a 4-person hot tub on the deck overlooking the river. (Thoroughly cleaned after each use.)

You'll have the free use of kayaks, canoes, paddle boats, and even electric motorized fishing boats to navigate between the 8 beautiful islands starting directly in front of your cottage! There are also complimentary bicycles of every size for the 10-mile-long wooded hiking and biking path that runs along the river and abuts our property.

I hope to see you soon! Cathy

Beautiful & Relaxing
Everything was as described. The view was amazing, very peaceful. We took advantage of the small boat and fishing area, the hot tub (lots of jets, really nice!), grilled on the small charcoal grill, sat by the fire. Our dog especially enjoyed herself, this was the first trip we had taken her on, so it was very nice to be able to do that. We would absolutely stay here again! Thanks!!

Disappointed
We were greeted by about 50 flies as soon as we walked in the door. Upon looking over the house, there we’re about 100 more on the windows. During our stay they were landing in our food and drinks. The flies were even in the bathroom all over the mirror. Also, I was glad to have brought my own towel for the shower as the ones provided smelled of cigarettes. The outside of the house needs some freshening up as well. Chipped paint. Faded deck. And just a FYI, the parking area is shared. We were not aware of that. When we came back the one evening there was a car parked next to the home. We had to park very close to the house. Unfortunately we won’t be staying there again.

Great river front cabin
We loved our getaway at the Lazy Bear cabin. Perfect cabin for our group of four. The host was amazing. He showed us all around the property, took pictures for us and told lots of fun stories about the history of the property. So much to do here: boating around the small islands in the river, walking and biking on 10 miles of trails along the river, campfires, yard games hot tubs, etc.

Rustic getaway
Property was clean and as advertised. Cabins were unique and well stocked. The owner, Parker, was fantastic. He explained a lot about the local activities and restaurants. He helped launch the boat and even took our picture. We enjoyed canoeing on the Maumee River. Beautiful parks, bird watching, and walking/biking paths nearby. Waterville is a quaint town with wonderful restaurants.

Relaxing and Safe
I ended up staying in this cottage with just my dog. I felt very safe. It had a beautiful view of the river and easy access to the hiking trail. The owner lives 2 doors down and was super friendly. I would recommend.

Peaceful Place
It was a peaceful place. It was on the Towpath trail and was a great place to ride our bikes. We did a little fishing from the bank. Relaxed on the deck and enjoyed the hot tub. The host was great. We watched the eclipse and host provided fireworks at the end of it. A nice touch! Thanks for a great getaway

We didn’t hear a response to emailed questions from the property manager; but the driving and entry directions were complete and helpful. The bed was hard; but regardless, we enjoyed our stay on the Maumee River- we even fished from the shore behind the cottage!
