The cabin was super cute and very clean. Perfect for our private getaway. Thank you for providing a beautiful secluded spot in the mountains for us to enjoy our engagement
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!
This was a very Peaceful location. Cabin was clean and well stocked. Had everything we needed and then some. Enjoyed our stay!

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.

We have stayed here twice and both times thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It is perfect for a couples getaway and it’s just outside of Helen which makes for an easy drive. The cabin is comfy and has everything you need.

Would stay again. Comfy bed, cute cabin, even had Christmas decorations and a small tree up for us.
Great place to stay when visiting Helen, GA. Not just for the downtown activities but the perfect spot for all other sites and attractions. A lot better than staying in a hotel. Not hard to locate and easy accessibility. Would defiantly recommend. Thank you so much for the great experience.

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!
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.

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.

The cabin was very nice and had everything we needed. The only thing that didn't work was the hot tub. Thankfully it was fixed the second day and was ready for use that night. Otherwise we had a great stay and a lot of fun. Highly recommend this cabin.
The cabin has everything that is needed to stay a long weekend minus food. The bathroom has plenty of room and plenty of hot water, Clean! It’s in a quiet area also. I recommend this to anyone that has a couple of nights to get away from the hassle at home. I’m not much for walking around in Helen because I don’t consider that rest, I’d rather lay around in the cabin. Oh yeah the hot tub is awesome also private and clean.

The cabin was in an excellent location (close to Helen). It was so peaceful and serene in the wooded backyard. The cabin was very spacious, clean, and the rustic decor gave it such a cozy feeling. The fireplace, jacuzzi, and grill provided lots of activities. Loved it!
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).
