The Tamarack Cabin at Lazy Oaks – Your Cozy Lake Escape Awaits!

Looking for that perfect mix of peaceful and playful? Say hello to The Tamarack Cabin — your comfy, nature-wrapped hideaway where fresh mountain air and lakeside laughs are just part of the daily routine.

Room for the Whole Crew
With 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, there’s plenty of space to stretch out and relax. The main bedroom has a dreamy queen bed, and the second bedroom steps it up with two queen beds — perfect for families or groups of friends. Need even more snooze space? The queen sleeper sofa in the living room has you covered!

Cozy Cabin Vibes
With 880 square feet of charm, the living room is your chill zone — complete with a flat-screen TV, Wi-Fi (for those who must check emails), and a fireplace that practically begs you to cozy up with a blanket and hot cocoa.

Cook. Eat. Repeat.
The fully stocked kitchen and dining area are ready for pancake mornings, sandwich lunches, or spaghetti dinners with the gang. Whether you're a five-star chef or just here for the snacks, this space makes every meal feel special.

Fun by the Fire (and Lake!)
Right outside your cabin is lakeside magic. Enjoy private access to Rainbow Lake, where from April through October, you can rent a boat or cast a line into the stocked waters — a dream come true for fishing fanatics and chill floaters alike.

When the sun sets, gather around one of three fire pits to roast s’mores and swap stories under the stars. And don’t miss the horseshoe pit with a lake view — it’s the perfect place to stir up some friendly competition.

The Tamarack Cabin is all about making memories — warm, woodsy, and a little bit wonderful. Book your escape today and get ready to relax, explore, and fall in love with mountain life!

Before You Book… Just a Few Things to Know About Lazy Oaks Resort-

We like to keep it real around here, so we’ve put together a few friendly disclaimers to help set expectations. Lazy Oaks Resort is a special place — rustic, beautiful, and full of character — but it’s not for everyone.

Yes, it’s beautiful here. Yes, it’s peaceful. But let’s be honest — when you stay this close to the lake and woods, you're signing up for a front-row seat to the wild side of the White Mountains. That includes bugs (despite our constant spraying), bats (they eat the bugs, so technically they’re staff), mice (adorable freeloaders), geese (loud and entitled), badgers (surprisingly bold), and yes... occasionally, bears (they were here first).

Now, don’t panic — actual wildlife encounters are rare. Most critters keep to themselves, especially if you don’t leave snacks out like it’s a buffet for the forest. But still — if the idea of a spider ruins your weekend, this might not be your dream getaway.

Pet owners, listen up: we love animals — yours, ours, and the wild ones that roam the area. But please keep your furry friends leashed and in your sight at all times. This is real nature, not a fenced-in dog park. Wildlife doesn't care how sweet your pup is, and we'd like to avoid any awkward encounters that end in vet visits or dramatic stories.

About the internet...
Yes, we have Wi-Fi, and yes, it usually works pretty well — we’re talking about 90%-95% success, which earns a gold star up here in the mountains. But it’s not perfect. Our Smart TVs run on that same connection, so they may occasionally get “dumber” than advertised.

More importantly — you didn’t come all this way to watch reruns of your favorite show. You came for fresh air, starry skies, and that glorious lake just outside your door. We’ve got free kayaks, pedal boats, fishing, hiking trails, and enough sunshine to completely reset your mood. So shut the laptop, drop the remote, and go make a real memory — the kind that doesn’t need Wi-Fi.

A few more things to know…
Lazy Oaks is home to 18 rustic cabins tucked into about 4 acres of private lakefront property. Yes, you’ll have neighbors. Yes, you’ll share grills and boats. And yes — that’s part of the charm. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself around a campfire, swapping stories, sharing snacks, and making new friends with people you never expected to meet. It’s a social kind of place — in the best way possible.

And those cabins?
Many date back to the 1930s–1950s. They’re clean, cozy, and full of charm you just can’t fake — the kind that creaks a little and tells stories in its sleep. We’re gently updating them over time, keeping the best of the old while making space for the comforts of the new. If you appreciate character with your comfort, you’re going to love it here.

If you're looking for ultra-modern, sterile, and silent... well, we hear Scottsdale’s nice. But if you’re ready for a lakeside escape with soul — we’ve got a cabin waiting for you.

The bottom line?
100% of guests who arrive with the right expectations have a wonderful time — and hundreds return year after year. Lazy Oaks isn’t just a place to stay. It’s a place to slow down, reconnect, and soak in something real. We just want you to know what we’re all about — and if that sounds like your kind of getaway, we can’t wait to host you.

Just a heads-up:
We do ask all guests to sign a short rental agreement before arrival. We didn’t want to go all “legal,” but our lawyers insisted — especially since we’re right on the lake, welcome pets, and offer free use of boats. Thanks for understanding!
