Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: During our multi-week stay in the mountains of North Carolina the Bear Hug Inn was our home away from home. It was a pleasure to wake up each morning to the beautiful vista overlooking Maggie Valley, and the Bear Hug was a perfect place to relax, enjoy time with friends, and to cook and enjoy delicious meals. It is also conveniently located for enjoying activities in the Waynesville/Maggie Valley area, including enjoying some of the great local eateries, shopping and playing golf. We also took great advantage of the proximity to other locales and enjoyed visits to Asheville, Dollywood and Highlands. The Bear Hug Inn was perfect for us.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Bear Hug Inn was super comfortable. We've rented numerous times in Smoky Mountain Retreat, and this was by far the best stocked kitchen in regards to appliances and cookware. Great views and we all enjoyed visits from the hummingbirds. Thanks for keeping those feeders up! Will come back to this cabin for sure.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have come here many years twice a year it’s always beautiful and it’s always clean and the mountains are always gorgeous. The management company always responds promptly and effectively. There were recent upgrades that are great and I can’t wait to come back again! When I post pictures on Facebook, all of my friends ask me where are you and how can I rent this house? Be sure and check out the buttered biscuit, Maggie Valley restaurant, Joey’s pancake House, and Waynesville. It’s all good and fall is spectacular, so is spring.

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: The view is spectacular here. Easy access, driveway pretty level. Rooms are great. However, the furniture in main level living room not comfortable. The two chairs are like those in a doctor's waiting room or office with wood arms and low back; should be recliners or easy chairs with ottoman. the new sofa is rather firm. We prefer to stay on main level near the kitchen and for the deck and view,so would like more comfort. Please replace those chairs! Also need 2 more rocking chairs on deck, high top chairs difficult for older folks. The kitchen is great. The staff is the best, very helpful and friendly and accommodating.
