Review Score:   10
Summary: Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. 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 stayed here several times and always enjoy the view and serenity of Bear Hug Inn. The house is overly large for us but we enjoy the extra space. It was nice and cool on the mountain even though the outlying areas were very hot. We did a lot of hiking with our new pup. She enjoyed watching the birds, turkeys, and ground hogs.
