After enjoying a good night's sleep in the king size log bed, you will want to make this your home away from home!

Start the day with a cup of coffee on the covered porch while watching the sunrise through the trees. Stay hidden away or venture out to the small town of Helen, located only 6 miles from Bear Hug.

This cabin was everything we wanted for an end of the year get away. It was cozy, the heater worked perfectly and kept us warm, the woods were quiet and peaceful and the directions were definitely needed because our GPS took us the wrong way. We had a great time and will definitely be back!

It was okay. The initial getting there was hectic because we were there to help with my brother's wedding, and having all the calls and emails, and having to do all the follow-up, was time-consuming and not at all relaxing to think about on top of everything else. Additionally, the internet was not working, but we didn't have enough time to worry about it. However, the place was nice and clean. When we finally got to relax, the hot tub was a welcome treat. It was also close to Helen and featured beautiful sites.

Perfect location near Helen, GA. The cabin is cozy and the hot tub was nice after walking all day. We booked this based on the pictures but noticed the living room chair different and not a recliner. The kitchen table very uncomfortable as it doesn't have space for legs without hitting knees on the table supports. The rental company very responsive but will rent a different cottage nearby next tume.

The perfect stay for me and my (now) fiancé. A warm, cozy cabin that was the perfect setting for a romantic getaway and surprise proposal. Super close to downtown Helen, but still far enough to enjoy the peace and quiet of the north georgia outdoors. Would definitely stay here again and I highly recommend!

Bear Hug Review

This cabin is a good place for two people, but in order for it to be a great place, several improvements need to be made. 1) Furnishings need to be updated. The couch was quite uncomfortable due to sagging cushions and the table for two was also quite uncomfortable as it was not possible to place your knees and feet under the table due to the table’s construction. 2) The back deck and gas grill was quite dirty. The screen door had numerous droppings on it. 3) A storm knocked out wi-fi and internet and tv coverage. When coverage returned it was not possible to watch You Tube TV because a member ID was needed. That member ID needs to be included in the guide about the cabin. My wife and I couldn’t watch tv for the remainder of our stay because we didn’t know the member ID.

Loved our vacation! The host communicated so great with us. It wasn’t far from Helen, GA. The bed was comfortable and the hot tub was amazing to soak in after a long day of exploring Helen and tubing! We will definitely be staying again in the future!

Romantic Get Away

The cabin was so cute! The hot tub was immaculate. My husband and myself are both clean freaks and I was so happy to see the hot tub was so clean along with the entire cabin. We stayed over Thanksgiving. The kitchen was fully equipped for that! I bright so many kitchen items that I thought I would need but the kitchen was very well equipped. Bed was comfy too. We def plan to come back! Very close to downtown Helen.

Really enjoyed our time. Quiet close to town. It was funny dodging the acorns from the squirrels above on the back deck. It was a little tricky to find at first, but other than that nice place.

Peaceful and cozy stay

My wife and I chose this cabin for our 24th wedding anniversary 4 day weekend. The cabin was very nice and peaceful. Perfect size for a peaceful romantic getaway. The cabin was clean and cozy. The hot tub was wonderful even in the middle of summer. We enjoyed using the back patio grill as well. This property really had all you needed. It was so nice being very close to Helen but yet still far enough away that you did not have any of the traffic or noise. My only recommendations/suggestions are the pots and pans are old and worn and could be updated/replaced, there were flickering lights in the bedroom CF and living room CF, and the mattress needs to be replaced (the middle sags).
