About this cabin rental

Welcome to Cottonwoods Cabin — your cozy little getaway with front-row views of Rainbow Lake! This comfy cabin sleeps up to 4 guests. You’ve got a full kitchen with a cute little dining nook, perfect for morning pancakes or a family dinner. The living room is all kinds of cozy with a crackling wood-burning fireplace, flat screen TV, and WiFi (just in case you need to check in with the real world... or stream a movie).

As part of Lazy Oaks Resort, you’ll have private lake access to the beautiful and well-stocked Rainbow Lake. From April 1st to October 31st, grab a boat and try your luck fishing for Blue Gill, Catfish, Northern Pike, or Largemouth Bass — it’s the perfect spot to unplug and unwind.

After a day of fresh mountain air and lakeside fun, kick back by the fireplace or fire up the charcoal grill for a BBQ feast. Don’t forget to check out the 3 fire pits on site and the horseshoe pit — it’s fun for the whole crew. Come relax, recharge, and make some unforgettable memories!

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 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 use of boats. Thanks for understanding!

This trip was great! The cabin was nice and clean, the property grounds were beautiful and you really cannot beat how close you are to rainbow lake. We had no problems checking in via self check in. Everyone staying there in other cabins were friendly and the various pets there I could tell it was a pet friendly area as well. I can see why previous posters have said they come back year after yead. This is a great place to stay if you want that cabin feel and comfort.

6 / 10Average·Aug 2025
A cute place for family, but at the price of family would not be able to afford for a weekend I feel it’s priced a little bit high due that there is absolutely no upgrades that have been made at all other than Mini Split added to bedrooms checkout time stated 11 AM when booking for 10 AM on Property fishing is very limited due to kids playing in water like I said this is more of a family oriented place but extremely high priced for conditions low maintenance on grounds and no upgrades to cabins electrical sockets are original and your stuff will not stay plugged in just cheap little things they could’ve done to improve to stay
