Spent 4 nights here with family. The cabin is exactly as described, comfortable for us…6 adults and 5 children aged 2-9…. Roomy basement for the kids to play.
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.
Lovely spacious home with wonderful rocking chair front porch to enjoy the beauty of nature! This was our second stay and we really find this house the perfect girls’ getaway. Excellent location for hiking, quaint towns and apple picking!
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!
Our family had a great stay in this clean, beautiful cabin. Very large and spacious. It was close to downtown Ellijay. We enjoyed seeing the deer in the morning. I highly recommend staying here.

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!
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!

Thank you Angela! We are so glad that you had a great stay! We hope you will return soon to visit Bear Hugs Cabin!
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.

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).

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!
We had a wonderful time. Cabin was cozy, location was perfect, price was appropriate. Cabin has three full bathrooms, so it is comfortable. We went in late December 2025 - early January 2026 during a cold wave. There was no snow unfortunately, but boy it was cold. However, the heating system worked fine. There are a few past reviews claiming heating system does work properly. That was not the case for us.Also, there is a past review claiming noise from RVs nearby. Absolutely not the case. The cabin is nestled way inside resort property, far away from the outside. We heard nothing. Not even during New Year.They still have not fixed the pool table. There is a bump. I played with family (wife, daughter and brother), so we made the bump part of the game (kind of an obstacle). But I can see why that would make a professional or pasionate player mad, because it does break gameplay. That is the only reason I don't give a 5 star rating. Would give a 4.8 if possible.We saw deers every morning, sometimes in groups of 10. Really heartwarming.Last, but certainly not least, I have to make a special mention to Donna. She was our contact during our stay. She is 100% responsive. I have organized quite a few family vacations with VRBO, and Donna is by far the most attentive host. We had no issues with the cabin, but I am sure she would have helped us if we did.
My family stayed here for 4th of July weekend 2019. The cabin was very clean and spacious and exactly as pictured. We received detailed instructions from the owner. The yard was more overgrown than I expected based on the picture, which is my only complaint. Compared to other properties in the community there was minimal landscaping, lots of weeds and even felled trees and cut up tree trunks left in the yard. The cabin is also down in a hollow with steep hills to the front and back and a steep driveway. Wasn’t ideal for kids playing outside. The cabin was located in a quiet section but with 2 pools nearby within a short drive, one within about a half mile walk. Downtown Ellijay was a short drive away. The cabin was clean and well stocked.

We are so glad that you and your family found Bear Hugs Cabin clean and spacious, and that you enjoyed your stay! We have had rain and summer storms in the area recently. The landscaper arrived the day you checked out to take care of the yard. The weeds pop up quickly in the summer, but the yard is maintained weekly. Recent Storms took out a few trees. There is a wonderful play area for kids with playgrounds, swings and slides down at the river park in the resort. Thanks again for visiting Bear Hugs Cabin,
