The "front desk manager" Jasmin was not very professional when I told her and showed her that I woke up to bed bug bites. Stay there if you want bed bug bites and unfriendly front desk manager.

After our VBRO cancelled last minute and had issues getting a refund. We went to Bear Lodge. The staff were open and friendly and went above and beyond to welcome us last minute. Rates were reasonable. The rooms were clean and the grounds were very nice. I will recommend this hotel to anyone.
