Our room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable, with a charming rustic feel. The entire hotel was well maintained, and the staff were warm and welcoming. Breakfast offered plenty of options, and the added touch of a hot beef stew in the lobby on a cold day was such a thoughtful surprise. Highly recommend the Black Bear Inn!
