Cozy Bear Paradise on Weiss Lake in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains

One fall afternoon my husband and I sat on the ground looking at the reflection of the autumn leaves on the water and I knew we had found our little piece of paradise. Over the years children and grandchildren have experienced the joy of having a lakehouse. Swimming, tubing, roasting marshmallows, fishing and much much more. The area seems to have something for everyone - historical sites, rock climbing, waterfalls, crappie capitol of the world, shops to browse, Alabama Band fan club, artisan area, night sky for stargazing and the list goes on. Our three story home has room to spread out, a screened porch that makes you feel like being in a treehouse and a calm peaceful feeling. Whether you like to curl up and read a good book, stay on the go every minute or somewhere in between this place will suit your needs. We love our place but we don't get to use it as often as we did. So we decided to let others enjoy it while we are not there. While there are bears in the area it is unlikely that you will see one outside. Inside on the other hand is a different story.

There is a security camera on the corner of the house facing the driveway. The purpose of the camera is strictly for security.

Several people have asked if we have our own dock. Yes we do. It is the cover photo. If you rent from us, there are three docks and ours is the one in the middle.
During your stay at this vacation home, you'll be close to Cornwall Furnace Memorial Park. Enjoy features like laundry facilities and an arcade/game room. The vacation home offers free WiFi and a kitchen.

Beautiful lake cabin. Within a 1 1/2 hour drive to Chattanooga. Only downside is the door lock was difficult to lock and unlock. We thought the door was locked until we came back and it was not, made us feel uneasy.

Great time at Cozy Bear

We had a marvelous time. The house was top notch. It was far better than the description. The kitchen had everything you would need or want. The beds were very comfortable. We felt we were at home. We had to contact the owner a couple of times about minor things and they responded immediately. We will definitely be going back. This was one of our favorite places ever that we have vacationed at
