Located in the East Wing, The Perry Room features a plush queen bed and two comfy chairs—perfect for unwinding with serene views of the forest and mountains. Keep an eye on the Japanese Dogwood just outside; bluebirds love to make it their home!

My wife and I were in town for a family gathering and spent three nights at Blue Bear Inn. The building is very quaint and homey, but has all of the amenities you need to provide a very comfortable stay. The location is very pretty with nice views. The restaurant serves good food at reasonable prices and the bartender knows his business well. All in all we enjoyed our experience and will definitely stay there again when return,
