We just returned from a long weekend at this Inn where 5 couples, all longtime friends, celebrated one person's BIG birthday. Black Bear Inn was selected as being that special place, as 2 of the ladies had been there before and had had a great time. It takes about 3 1/2 hours to get to Arnold from the Bay Area,... More

We celebrated a birthday at the Inn with 5 couples. Wendi and Bruce went way beyond in making sure our time was special. The Inn is impeccably kept, the grounds beautiful and the warmth of our hosts a true treasure. Besides the most wonderful breakfasts, and lovely wine/cheese on the patio, Bruce made us a birthday dinner on Sat. night... More

WE live in a wonderful retirement community, but once a month, we like to escape to B & B within 2 to 3 hours drive from Davis, CA. As we love to explore different locals, it is rare for us to stay at a B & B where we have stayed before. This place is well worth a second visit.... More

With B & B experiences there's great and then there's extraordinarily incredible. Irrefutably, the latter is what you have at the Arnold Black Bear Inn. To use a fitting, but yet simple metaphor, “You never get a second chance to make a first impression.” With that said, the moment we arrived at the exquisite grounds – the stunning, rustic structure...

Wendi and Bruce truly made me feel as if I were a guest in their home. They were warm, friendly, accommodating, and lovely to get to know. The rooms were so comfortable, and super clean (a must for me when I travel). The grounds were serene, well kept, and beautiful. I had never even heard of Arnold before my trip... More

A group of us rented out the inn for a weekend and it couldn't have been more perfect. Wendi and Bruce were gracious and their true care for their guests was palpable. They served us the most amazing breakfast - nut-encrusted french toast - keeping in mind some of our party were gluten-free [and made it all vegan most graciously].... More

This was a wonderful weekend trip! My husband and I had the chance to relax in a beautiful location. There is hiking close by (something we love). Amazing wineries are not a far drive (Wendi and Bruce are a great resource for this!). And the food... wow, the food! Our breakfasts were not only amazing, but also beautiful. Easter dinner... More

In anticipation of getting married at Black Bear Inn, my fiancee and I stayed overnight on Saturday March 30th. Having visited the property a couple of times previously, we knew we were in for a treat. We arrived Saturday afternoon and were warmly welcomed by Wendi and Bruce and shown to our beautiful room which just happens to be mere... More

Had a wonderful stay for the weekend! Would highly recommend to anyone. Bruce and Wendy were awesome hosts! Very relaxing stay. The hot tub was a great bonus. Breakfast, wine and cheese were excellent.
