Alicia is a great host! We’ve stayed at a couple of her listings and they are always spot on. We had never stayed at the Wolf Den before but it was perfect for a Wham Bam steelhead outing.The other guests were there for the same thing and we all hit it off immediately. Great experience. Already booking for next year!!!
The stay and the Inn was fantastic. Clean, quiet, affordable, perfect location for our travels. Beds and pillows were comfortable, nice to have the small kitchen, owners provided a wonderful stay and experience at the Black Bear Inn. Having lived in the area for many years and visiting for the first time in years, my wife and I will definitely be back again and again.
This was my 4th year staying here and will be doing it again next year. It is close to the start of a trail race that I do and it is great coming back for a hot shower and to sleep in a comfortable bed. It has everything I needed and I know that it will always be clean and inviting.
The place was perfect for our stay. The cost of an inn with the feel of your own cabin. It was clean and nicely decorated. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to do some hiking or just to get away for the weekend.
