Weekend Getaway

Bear Hugs was accurately presented. We were able to check in and enjoyed the stay completely. Our cabin was well maintained, clean, and felt much like home. It provided an excellent home base for a stretched-out weekend in the mountains.

Pictures didn’t match property

When I arrived, there was a window screen lying in the driveway. I put it back in. The living room was not as advertised, no table, no rug. In the morning, you could feel col air rising from the floor above your ankles. The place is nice but, could really use some work. Unpainted drywall spots where tissue holder used to be, unmatched decking boards and the showers! Either scalding hot or freezing cold! No in between

Birthday Getaway

Nice getaway to celebrate my wife’s birthday. No interruptions, just quite, romantic, serenity. Did note that the blinds in the sitting area seemed to be inopt. They wouldn’t come down so that impeded our privacy.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property is excellent, we loved it, but they should update the TV and the pool table sound. I must also say that the showers didn't work, meaning no water came out.🚿Everything else was great.
