Amazing!!! Felt like home, friendly and welcoming folks!!! Clean rooms, great towels, comfortable beds!!!
This place is amazing!! Super comfortable beds and pillows. The room is absolutely gorgeous and was spotless. Absolutely would recommend. The staff was sooo sweet and super helpful with any questions I had.
This is such a a cute place, room is very clean, super easy check in, we rode to the Marina and ate super and looked out at the River. We spent the night on our way to Nashville and glad we did. There is a full size coffee pot in our room, we will have plenty of coffee in the morning..dollar general down the road.. comfortable bed, nothing but good things about this place.
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
