“A Room with a Hug”
+Staying at the Black Bear Inn is like visiting your favorite aunt's house. Your room is cozy, it's by the river, Liz leaves cookies and chocolates for a before bed snack, she welcomes pets in her pet friendly rooms, and you'll feel hugged just because you stayed there. It's clean and nostalgic with rockers by the front door. You can walk to nearby eateries and relish small town life. It is our go to lodging in Dubois.

“Highly recommend”
+Very comfy and homey. Room smelled clean and fresh. Liz is exceptional. S’mores every evening at the campfire by the river was fun. Just sitting and relaxing watching the river flow was so nice in the evenings.

“Wonderful and kind manager!”
+Liz is absolutely wonderful and so kind and accommodating! Our plans to stay at Black Bear Inn I feel, would have been a great experience but unfortunately,never worked out. Liz got us two rooms and tried to move people around so I could stay in a non pet room because of allergies. She is super kind and I felt bad it didn't work to stay but I hope when I'm in the area, it works to stay at Black Bear. Hope you will give it a try and call Liz as she will go out of her way to help you.

“Beary good stay!”
+Very nice room, super comfortable beds, great shower except no place to put your shampoo & conditioner. Full size coffee pot. Small fridge with freezer. And let’s not forget the bears ! We did not count them but there is a lot of them. S’mores in the evening down by the river. Owner is friendly and outgoing. Very enjoyable stay.

“MUST GO!!!”
+Probably the most underrated inn I’ve been to. Great rooms that’s clean and comfortable, very cozy and the people are very friendly and welcoming. Kids love this place and so does the adults. Very fair prices as well, best inn I’ve personally been to. 家人们这地方很不错，地方不大但是应该是我去过的最被低估的旅馆。很棒的房间，干净舒适，工作人员非常友好和热情。孩子们喜欢这个地方，大人也喜欢。价格也很公道，是我亲自去过的最好的旅馆。

“Exceeding expectations. An older property managed well.”
+The older motel comes alive with friendly bear motif. Remodeled rooms are excellent and ownership truly cares about guest hospitality. The firepit each night is a great example, but the effort to help guests enjoy DuBois is over the top. It’s an old property, but competes well with newer options and worthy of a base location to enjoy the region.

“Great Stop”
+Room very clean. Hostess very friendly and sincere. Lobby is very well kitted with Bear Spray, water filter systems, postcards, cups and more. The evening social S'mores at the fire ring, next to Wind River was awesome! After long drive from Steamboat with stops in Lander and Dubois Forest Service offices, this was a pleasant stay before a backpack into the RW Mountains.

“A soul soothing stop on the highspeed highway of modern life”
+A true treasure for the traveler who is ready to step out of the fast lane and unplug from daily grind! The Black Bear Inn is an absolute delight. From the owner who makes you feel like family the moment you arrive to the nightly fires where other like minded guests and sojourners gather to make s'mores and swap tales of adventure to the cozy (and extremely clean) rooms, a stay here is both soothing to the soul and a reminder that life is good when we spend it focused on the right things. This will definitely be a repeat destination for us. The only thing I didn't like was leaving!

“Homey motel”
+First rate motel. There are smores and popcorn in the evening by the fire and the river. The rooms are clean and uniquely furnished. There are a plethora of little things (packs bear graham crackers on the pillows as an example) offered to create a pleasant and relaxing stay. There is no air conditioning but with the fans set up in the rooms there was no problem.
