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!
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!
The cabin was great! Hot tub was clean and it got hot! Up to 103

Loved the cabin! Had a small electrical issue with some outlets, not working. Called the after hours number on a Sunday afternoon and they sent someone out right away within 30 minutes with an extension cord and a plan to fix permanently. Cabin is very clean and has everything you need. Hot tub and plenty of privacy and the porch with the rocking chairs made for a very relaxing time.!

Stayed at Bear Hug Cabin in Sautee Nacoochee. Easy to find. Very secluded, clean, comfortable bed!, nice hot tub(ask to have it warmed up before you arrive), small propane grill that works!, fire pit (I suggest you buy some wood because the wood on the ground around is too big and or rotted), 12 cup coffee maker(filters provided) long with a Keurig. Bring sugar, shampoo, conditioner, soap/body wash. I strongly suggest that you go to Anna Ruby Falls(beautiful) and the town of Helen.

We are back for our third year at Bear Hug! It had everything we needed for a nice long Valentine weekend getaway. Close to Helen. Comfy bed. Loved the updated flooring and TV move over the fireplace. We will be back! Property mgmt company a joy to work with!
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.
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.
