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.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment.
Enjoy recreation amenities such as a water park or take in the view from a garden. This vacation home also features an arcade/game room and barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Roomy house on lovely lake
The house and location was just what we needed. The 3 bedrooms meant we each had privacy, and our own air conditioner. loved the 3 bathrooms and screened-in porch . Love loved the dock, kayaks, floats, grill. pool table, games, TVs, stocked kitchen, air fryer, and comfortable seating. Very happy with this location on Weiss Lake.

Relaxing
The house was exactly as described. Located on a quiet cove of the lake. We enjoyed our stay and spent most of it on the screened porch looking at the water. The view was understandably (season of the year) somewhat obstructed by tree leaves but still great. We would definitely stay there again.

A dream experience
Everything was spotless and even more beautiful than the photos portray. The decor is Soo charming- really sets the mood for a wonderful experience. There were thoughtful little baskets containing treats and incidentals in strategic places. The view! The fire pit! The dock! Deer, fish, egrets, herons and rustling leaves create a wonderful mood. Can't thank you enough for everything. Our family drive from Atlanta and Florida to share a magical experience.

The House Of Tranquility
What a wonderful place for our three generations to meet and thoroughly enjoy being together. This retreat has everything you could possibly want inside and out! We were so impressed with the lift beside the front porch for lifting all our items from our cars to the main floor. It has a fully stocked kitchen, just bring your own food. There are several places outside where there are benches and swings to watch the sun come up or go down. So peaceful ! This is the perfect place for you to relax and enjoy being back to nature. Our host Tamara, did a splendid job and answered every question we had. We really felt at home at Cozy Bear Paradise.

Had a great time with family. The place was very clean and very well stocked with everything you would need. It even has a waffle maker which we used a lot! The pool table and shuffle board were an added bonus! Enjoyed those for night time fun! The screened porch was so quiet and relaxing. Enjoyed sitting on the dock which was so peaceful and quiet. We had a great time!

What a "beary" cute house! The bed upstairs in the master was so comfy! I love that all the bathrooms had baskets with toiletries and there was a snack basket with bug bracelets. Very thoughtful! Also, there were so many appliances and cookware in the kitchen. We loved the dock as well even though we caught the tiniest fish in the lake. We had a great time relaxing and playing games in the basement as well! We unfortunately had to leave in in-laws there for the last day as there was a death in the family but we definitely didn't want to leave. Thanks for sharing the Cozy Bear with us!!

Lake Life
We enjoyed our stay at the lake. It was a great place to celebrate my dads birthday. The kitchen was really well stocked (pots, pans, etc.), the house itself very comfortable and we really enjoyed the screened porch. We brought in our own pontoon boat so we could also make use of the dock and lake during our stay.

Lake is not for any type of recreation boating, shallow, logs, snakes galore. No pull offs or safe swimming areas. As for the house. Don’t get me wrong in this review the house was nice at one time but currently a little TLC and deep clean would do drastic improvements to this arbnb. A lot of broken or missing items. We actually did work to the place while we were there to help. Flea and gnat issues. Spiders. Water leaks, spoiled, out of date food taking a lot of the room in refrigerator and cabinets. Dirty toilets. Sticky cabinets. Floors were filthy. We did enjoy and make the best of our stay. Not the best trip however. Also no ck in instructions previous to arrival. Couldn’t message only call her. I’m sure there more I did not mention.

Perfect Lake House Getaway!
Part of the reason we rent a house is to cook our own meals. This kitchen is stocked with everything you will need! Bowls, measuring cups, pans etc. They even have a WAFFLE MAKER! bring your batter. Great Lake views, very peaceful. We spent spent some quiet quality time at the fire pit just watching the ducks and the deer. Our fire stick worked perfectly on the TV which is a top notch TV. WiFi worked fine. The light switches are even labeled! Owners were quick to respond to a couple of questions.
