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 stayed at Smoky Mtn Retreat for several years and very pleased with staff and property. The staff is very helpful and friendly and address any issues that may occur. The properties are very clean and well maintained. Love Bear Hug Inn, except they could use more comfortable furniture on main floor and more rockers instead of hi-top on deck. Highly recommend Smoky Mountain Retreat.

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.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great July 4th weekend at Bear Hug. Fireworks on two nights from the Lake on the 3rd then Bryson City on the 4th, shopping in Waynesville with dinner at Sweet Onion, then hiking and sunsets on the blue ridge, just 20 min away. Love how close everything is and the Publix is great for groceries. Nice gas stove, lots of room for kids. Would stay again.
