The Lazy Dog Inn a Mountain Lodge

The main lodge area is very cozy, with many books and games, and I played Scrabble with a friendly German couple there in front of the fireplace. The manager was able to arrange driver service, since it is somewhat remote from the town itself, in a nice setting.

Ethical. Fantastic location. Peaceful. And wonderful staff.

We only stayed here for one night after staying in Caraz for a few days and we were on our way back to Lima. This is a beautiful old property with loads of character and you can tell that Wayne and Diana have really made this their home over many years. It's a great place as a base for trekking into the nearby mountains and as we were only there for one night we weren't really able to appreciate this fully. We did do a fantastic hike on our one full day back from Laguna Llaca after getting a crazy taxi ride up there! The 'road' is amazing! We enjoyed the communal dinner but it obviously depends upon who you are communing with! Wayne and Diana were perfect hosts and they provide a great service and help regarding hiking and trekking in the area and they do a lot of community work too!

It was more remote than we expected (our problem!) and it turned out to be a bit more rustic than we expected too. We enjoyed our night here and the hike we did but I'm not sure we would have appreciated being there for several days....it seemed more of a place for more hardcore hikers than us....I could be wrong, just our perception.

Very welcoming owners, excellent breakfast and dinners, large rooms. We stayed 5 days at the Lazy Dog and it felt like home thanks to the welcoming vibe of the staff. Excellent base to hike to Llaca or Churup. Excellent taxi service (to the airport or Huaraz, from where you can do a lot of trips). We definitely recommend the Lazy Dog for a few days to enjoy a real home feeling during your stay in Perú!

Just know that Huaraz centre is a 35 minutes drive from The Lazy Dog on an unpaved road (trocha). We had an issue in our bathroom (there was a bad smell coming from the toilet) but the owners did their very best to solve the problem.

I loved everything about the Lazy Dog. Location is quiet with gorgeous views. Staff and owners super friendly, customer-service oriented, and flexible. Breakfast delicious.

Can't think of any thing I didn't like

The meals that were prepped and cooked were homemade and delicious. The roaring fire in the evening was delightful and the owner was so kind and helpful.
