Great house in great location
Clean and well stocked. Plenty of room to spread out. Large bathrooms and closet space…loved that! Maybe another tv on the porch or main level den would have been nice for movies at night or to watch golf tournament, etc. Great fire pit in the fenced in area was a plus.

Overall, very enjoyable. Only suggestion: have big tv in one of major congregating areas where fireplaces are, the screemed in porch and the main floor sitting room. Big football weekend. .

We thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful, spacious home for a few days after Christmas. The wood burning fireplaces were in constant use!! Being close to town was a huge plus, also. We hope to be back there soon to enjoy more of Bear Hug!

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.
