Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.

Great accomodations!

Great for our family. We stayed in a cabin and it was very comfortable for our four person family. There was a loud dog barking at the cabin next door fairly early in the morning, which was less than ideal. Otherwise, a great stay!

This place was beautiful. I am already thinking about booking a longer stay at a future day. I couldnt check in till late and i called and let them know before hand. When i arrive the lamps had been turned on and it was cheery. The coffee and things were a nice touch. It even had wrapped silverware and paper plates. It was really nice. And the mattress was perfect. No bad back in the morning.

We stayed in cabin #2 parking is right beside the cabin which makes loading/unloading easy. The cabin was clean and updated, with a mini fridge and microwave. The bathroom does not have a bathtub but the shower is nice. There's a nice front porch and even better a back deck with a creek view. The water sounds were nice and relaxing even though it was cold (visited in February) The hosts were kind and accommodating.

Disliked: Staff & service
No service during “open” hours. No room service or coffee replacement. They were accommodating by putting a lock box on the door for a later checkin since they were not open when we arrived during office hours.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Very nice property, very clean, wish they cleaned the rooms during your stay. They dont go in and clean your room during your stay, or at least they didn't for our 5 day stay. You can request a cleaning, but we often weren't there during their office hours. I understand that a lot of people may prefer to not have anyone go in without them requesting it. They also charge $2 f9r a bag of ice, but were always out of ice. Everything else was very good and we'd definitely stay here again and likely will.

My husband and I were in Clifton for our son’s golf tournament, and so that’s why we needed a place to stay. The owners are incredibly kind and accommodating and the room was extremely clean! I was pleasantly surprised! I’ve been in “nice” hotels that haven’t been this clean! There’s not really anything to do in the area… not many choices as far as restaurants… but if you need a place to stay, I recommend The Bear Inn for sure.

The Best Ever

This place is the most relaxing enjoyable place to be. If you are looking for a friendly welcome and a great bed to sleep in,let alone a couple of porches to relax on, then this is the place. If you are a dog owner and don't want to be having them weighed or judged, then this is the place. If you need to do some laundry, ask for towels or bedding, this is the place. The owners and staff here are so accommodating and very informative. This is the place to be. Enjoy your time and enjoy the love you get here.
