The property was immaculate with multiple amenities available. Will definitely use above the rest for future vacations. The cabin was spotless. The set up was great for our family with a separate apartment downstairs for privacy.

Every team member we were in contact with was incredibly kind and helpful! It was so sweet of the housekeeping staff to leave us a little welcome note, our daughter loved it. We've stayed with Above the Rest twice now, and have loved it both times! I had a question about the fireplace, and someone got back to me almost immediately!

We can't wait to come back to Lazy Bear! It had everything we could have possibly needed and was so comfortable. The house is gorgeous, the amenities are wonderful, and the view is fantastic. We were sad to leave Lazy Bear, but we hope to be back!
