A great find!
We were coming to the area to visit family and we were so lucky to have found Bear Hugs! It is a real gem! The house was even more spacious than what it showed in the pictures and it very comfortably fit our family of 6 with our two teenage sons getting their own rooms. There were lots of thoughtful touches, a fully equipped kitchen, and everything we needed for our stay. We would definitely stay at Bear Hugs again.

Happy Turkey Time 2018!
Our family spent the Thanksgiving 2018 holiday at Lori’s wonderful home. Our stay could not have been nicer! There were ten family members present, in and out, including my 100-year-old mother who lives nearby in Tryon Estates. We were all comfortable and cozy , with spacious accomodations for everyone. The house was well equipped in every regard and our turkey dinner went smoothly. My mother was delighted to be back in a homey setting! What a fabulous respite, that Bear Hugs cottage—many thanks, Lori. Nancy Curtis Tampa, FL

VRBO Perfection
Bear Hugs Cottage was 100% perfect for our wedding party's 4 night stay in Columbus, NC. The home exceeds all expectations - more spacious and beautiful than the pictures could show. Perfect location within easy proximity to all the convenience and fun you could wish to have in NC, and nestled off the road for very quiet and peaceful relaxation. More than enough room for easy parking. The hosts were incredibly nice and pleasant to work with. The home was clean, beautiful, and fully equipped with anything you would need or want. Bedrooms were extremely comfortable, and more than enough room to lounge and relax. Our group enjoyed our time there so much, we actually chose to grill out and have dinner at the cabin every night instead of going out! Easy, 20 minute drive to Lake Lure, Chimney Rock, 3 nice golf courses, and 10 minutes to Tryon. I have to extend a huge thank you to Lori and Bear Hugs Cottage for playing a pivotal part in making our destination wedding week the happiest, most stress free week of our lives. I would highly recommend this VRBO to anyone looking for a top notch place to complete a vacation!
