We truly enjoyed our stay! Everything from the check-in process to the location to the cabin itself was great! Everything was clean, cozy, and perfect for a Family Getaway. There was plenty of space, the beds were comfortable, and plenty of amenities.

Fall Festival Family weekend

We had a great time. It was close to the Apple Festival, Goldrush Festival, Burt's pumpkin farm, and Apple Orchards. The house is lovely and the deer friendly.

Hi Chris, Thanks so much for saying we have a great cabin and that I was a great host! We appreciate you being our guest at Bear Hugs Cabin! We have an excellent maid who does a great job. She has to launder all the sheets and towels for a 4 bedroom 3 bath cabin, clean and sterilize the bathrooms and kitchen just the same no matter how many nights you stay. You definitely get a better value when you stay multiple nights because you only pay the cleaning fee one time regardless of the length of stay. She is very reasonable compared to most cleaners in our area. Thanks so much for being a great repeat guest at our cabin and hope you will return again for a future visit!

Family Reunion in the Mountains...

Just returned from a visit to Bear Hugs Cabin in Ellijay, where we hosted a family reunion. The cabin was spacious, clean, and well-appointed. None of that "essentials only" vacation rental feeling at Bear Hugs. Would recommend to anyone!

1st Time at Apple Festival

Super convenient location for our family to stay for the weekend while enjoying a day at the festival, a day at a local winery, and time to enjoy the area. Spacious and clean. Super easy to check in and out and even get some extra information about the house. Way more supplies, amenities, and gadgets for cooking and comfort than many houses!

winter weekend getaway

We had a great family visit. Although we had winter storm worries, we never lost power. We did get to experience some snow. Donna was great to work with and communicated well. We had a great visit and look to return in future. The Hancocks

Apple fest meet up with family.

Living 300 miles apart my sisters and I met here for a weekend to catch up and enjoy the Apple Festival in Ellijay. We hung out in the cabin most of the time, ordered food in. The kids and young adults enjoyed the basement area and games in the closet. We got to see lots of deer on the property. We enjoyed really enjoyed the weekend. Wish we could have stayed longer. The cabin was very nice and clean and the perfect layout for our family (3 couples, adult children, and a few tweens).

6/10 Okay

More furniture needed upstairs. Heat needed downstairs.

There was not enough seating in the upstairs living room and the basement was freezing so nobody wanted to stay down there.

Thanks so much for your review and for being our guests at Bear Hugs Cabin ! Your comfort is very important to us and we strive to make everyone have a wonderful experience at our cabin! The lower level is heated and normally is very comfortable. I am so sorry you were cold, but we had an unusual cold snap that weekend. It was the coldest weather we have had in many years with wind chills below zero outside. I think everyone in Georgia was cold that weekend! Even though the basement is heated, I'm sure it was not as warm as the upstairs since heat rises. We do provide extra blankets in the closets. As for the seating, the upstairs main living area has a sofa, an arm chair, and a table with six chairs which provides seating for 10 people. (That should have been good to accommodate your group of 8 persons but there are plenty more chairs downstairs which could be brought up if need be.) In addition, there are 3 sofas downstairs and 10 more chairs, as well as another dozen chairs outside on the decks. I wish you had given us a call so we could have advised you. Thanks so much!
