About this property

Bear Hug - Incredible Outdoor Living Space with Fireplace

Bear Hug

This is a pet friendly home for one small dog, under 20 pounds. Pets must be pre-approved. An additional non-refundable pet fee is required and is not included in the rental fee. Please call our office for approval and to pay the pet fee. Failure to adhere to this policy will result in a $500.00 fine.

Only adults (25 years old and older) may reserve this property and an adult must occupy the property at all times.

Bear Hug is the perfect mountain getaway home. Nestled in a quiet community only minutes from downtown Highlands, the property is surrounded by nature so you're in your own little oasis even though you're so close to town.

Great for families with four bedrooms spread out on three floors with two primary bedrooms with an en suite.

The home features a number of gathering spaces for enjoying the mountain lifestyle. The main family room features vaulted ceilings and a wood burning fireplace. The lower level game room has a large screen TV, a pool table and a wet bar. The grand screened-in-porch with woodburning fireplace is the perfect location to gather any time of day. When the perfect weather tempts you outside, gather around the firepit and soak it all in.

A circle driveway, parking court, and carport provide ample room for guest parking. The back yard contains a fenced area for pets but be sure to get pre-approval before you bring your four legged friend.

Marked trails are steps from Bear Hug that run through the Land Preservation which includes a large pond.

Fun Fall Weekend

We had a great weekend at Bear Hug. Plenty of room for all four couples. The screen porch with fireplace was incredible. The living room area also has fireplace and we used it all weekend. Then there was the pool table and dart board for fun, too. We had a couple of issues, but Alicen and Joe(maintenance guy) were very responsive and worked to solve them. All in all, a terrific place to get away.
