Naomi was super lovely, welcoming, and accommodating. The room was exactly what I expected and needed. I loved sitting in the rocking chair outside my room and watching the thunderstorm roll in. The Bear Inn Retreat is a real treat x

With this property i loved the parking, you can get right up to the door for your room. On top of that every room I've stayed at here so far has had a ceiling fan, enough lighting for the entire area, and a perfectly functioning air condition. The staff are kind and easy to talk to and if you need anything they are never upset by it. Every time I've been here the room has smelled absolutely amazing, and the sheets have been soft and clearly recently laundered, and the decor is homie and perfect. They do not have restaurants within 30 minutes of the inn, and if you're there for a long stay I would recommend stopping at one of the Dollar stores for food items. (There is a fridge and a microwave, keep that in mind when getting food)

I was pleasantly surprised by the property which didn’t look great in the pictures. Loved that the owners and staff were so very friendly and helpful! Welcome to small town America. What made it especially great was that it is right across the street from a dog park and a running/walking trail (one loop was 0.6 miles!).

I was not expecting this place to be as nice as it is. It’s like a small apartment loved that it has a microwave refrigerator and a coffee pot. The room was very clean and cool considering how hot it was upon my arrival. The outside area was very clean as well. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone.
