Reviews
Wonderful experience. Room was updated and comfortable. Inn was rustic and charming. Inn Keepers could not have been more gracious. Brian, the bartender was wonderful. My wife and I have already made reservations for her B day. We can’t wait.

My husband and I got married in October at a venue near this hotel, so he booked it for us and our bridal party! Everyone LOVED it! Cute, cozy and comfortable rooms and amazing service! Location had stunning views, brought out even more so with the falling leaves!

Just spent the weekend at the amazing Blue Bear Inn! Carrie and Bob went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and to make us feel welcomed. Meeting the locals at Winslow Tavern was an added bonus. Food was delicious, drinks were great and the atmosphere was excellent. We look forward to returning soon!
