With this property i loved the parking, you can get right up to the door for your room. On top of that every room I've stayed at here so far has had a ceiling fan, enough lighting for the entire area, and a perfectly functioning air condition. The staff are kind and easy to talk to and if you need anything they are never upset by it. Every time I've been here the room has smelled absolutely amazing, and the sheets have been soft and clearly recently laundered, and the decor is homie and perfect. They do not have restaurants within 30 minutes of the inn, and if you're there for a long stay I would recommend stopping at one of the Dollar stores for food items. (There is a fridge and a microwave, keep that in mind when getting food)

I was pleasantly surprised by the property which didn’t look great in the pictures. Loved that the owners and staff were so very friendly and helpful! Welcome to small town America. What made it especially great was that it is right across the street from a dog park and a running/walking trail (one loop was 0.6 miles!).

I was not expecting this place to be as nice as it is. It’s like a small apartment loved that it has a microwave refrigerator and a coffee pot. The room was very clean and cool considering how hot it was upon my arrival. The outside area was very clean as well. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone.

Family cabin

My family and I stayed in there family cabin for 2nights it was comfortable and there staff is very accommodating and friendly! The cabins are more like tiny homes or an eagle building. We will most definitely be coming back for a longer stay.

This place was beautiful. I am already thinking about booking a longer stay at a future day. I couldnt check in till late and i called and let them know before hand. When i arrive the lamps had been turned on and it was cheery. The coffee and things were a nice touch. It even had wrapped silverware and paper plates. It was really nice. And the mattress was perfect. No bad back in the morning.

My husband and I were in Clifton for our son’s golf tournament, and so that’s why we needed a place to stay. The owners are incredibly kind and accommodating and the room was extremely clean! I was pleasantly surprised! I’ve been in “nice” hotels that haven’t been this clean! There’s not really anything to do in the area… not many choices as far as restaurants… but if you need a place to stay, I recommend The Bear Inn for sure.
