We had a great stay at the Black Bear Inn in Orono, Maine. We loved that it's truly pet-friendly, making it easy to travel with our furry companion. The food was delicious, and the complimentary warm soup served every afternoon was a wonderful and thoughtful treat. The staff was friendly, and our room was clean and comfortable. We would gladly stay here again!
