Room was SPOTLESS!! …not fancy but good enough and really very clean. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Location was good for us while traveling. Didn't see much of the property but what we saw looked nice. It was more or less off season in the area so it was hit or miss for restaurants. Oh, the coffee provided in the room was EXCELLENT…really didn't expect that. Temps dropped and it was cold but they had turned on the heater for us before we arrived. That was thoughtful. Heater kept us warm although it was very loud and we ended just shutting it off at 2 am.

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!

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.

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.

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)
