This is a really, really nice Inn. Stayed there once before with prior owners and it's as good or even better than ever. Beautiful common spaces, comfortable rooms, delicious breakfasts. And Wendy/Bruce made dinner reservations nearby so I could enjoy hiking all day. Very much

We had a wonderful getaway here at the Black Bear Inn. Bruce and Wendi's hospitality made our experience so amazing. They've clearly put a lot of hard work in to make sure that every guest feels comfortable like they're at home. We will definitely be back.
