About this property

Bear Hug - 15% OFF in April – See Details Below

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. Downtown is filled with restaurants, shops and attractions. Spend the day visiting local wineries or take a hike on one of the many trails in the area. Unicoi State Park is located only a mile away from the cabin, making a leisure hike to Anna Ruby Falls very convenient. Numerous wilderness areas and state parks with trails and waterfalls are located within easy driving distance.

Bear Hug's knotty-pine walls are accented with a collection of artfully crafted birdhouses in the living room and kitchen. You will find the kitchen equipped with a stove, oven, dishwasher and refrigerator, as well as both a standard and a Keurig coffee maker. Enjoy cooking a meal at the cabin, knowing you only need bring the groceries. We have the cookware and dinnerware you need stocked in the cabinets and drawers. For your convenience, there is also a washer and dryer. The cozy living room is complete with a wood-burning fireplace and a flat screen television. Curl up and watch a good movie! Or, you might decide to enjoy the peaceful mountain surroundings while relaxing in the hot tub located on the front deck. Don't forget there is a gas grill on the back porch and an outdoor fire pit to enjoy!

This is now a pet-friendly cabin and a one-time per-pet fee will be added if you bring your dog(s). The pet fees that will be added to your reservation are $75 + tax for the first and $25 + tax for each additional.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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.

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.

Relaxing seclusion

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Bear Hug is a great place to escape. Make sure to check out it's location during daylight or you will never find it. We enjoy romantic fires in the fireplace and the hot tub was wonderful after hiking for the day. There are many beautiful waterfalls in the area to hike to. Overall, the cozy cabin was very nice. It rained most of the nights that we were there and the rain on the metal roof was very loud but I don't think I've slept that sound in years. The cabin on the surface was clean but could use a nice spring cleaning. The dust on the drapes and headboard gave my dust allergies a workout.Check in was easy and the minor problems we had we taken care of easily thru the emergency number. We would definitely stay again.

Quiet

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.

Great Cabin

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We haven't stayed at Bear Hug before, but it was great. I liked the location. Not too far from anything, but it seemed like you were secluded. There are cabins nearby, but you feel like you are the only cabin around. It was our 20th anniversary and the GMR team left us a nice gift! It was so thoughtful! We love staying with GMR. Everything is always great. It was such a cute little cabin. The only thing I could say is they probably need to get a few more pans and some cooking utensils. We very much enjoyed our stay!

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).

Very nice!

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.

Wonderful Weekend!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Me and my husband took a weekend trip for a late anniversary celebration. We really enjoyed this cabin and will definitely keep it in mind for our future trips to Helen. The location is amazing, only 10 min from town, and the cabin it self sits back in the woods in a cabin neighborhood. There are cabins close by but it still feels very private. I loved that the jacuzzi was ready when we got there and the big king bed was very soft and cozy. It was raining while we were there so we didn't get to use the grill or firepit but it was a great space and I love that there was firewood provided. Thank you so much for a great weekend getaway!
